At the core of the HUNTSMAN series, the GHBF53-3UL is a versatile force, engineered with a stronger power matrix than the GHBF48-3UL to master faster currents and larger quarry. Designed for precise control of heavier sinking minnows like the GH46 HUMPBACK and GH44 BAT-A-FRY, it delivers effortless, continuous twitching even in strong flows and with high-resistance lures. The rod’s intuitive responsiveness and ergonomic fit transform it into a true extension of the angler’s arm, enabling crisp, active casts with just a flick of the wrist. A powerful, high-torque butt section anchors the fight against not only big native trout but other species. With stress-free ergonomics, smooth castability, and the ability to animate a wider range of lure weights, the GHBF53-3UL is built to withstand the demands of relentless backcountry pursuits.
It is no simple task to reach the wild trout that inhabit the most remote mountain rivers.
Anglers require not only advanced fishing techniques but climbing skills and a deep
understanding of the wilderness. The GREAT HUNTING HUNTSMAN rods are built for naturalists
seeking visceral angling experiences in the farthest reaches.
The multi-piece HUNTSMAN is designed to pack down into a backpack, integrating seamlessly
with challenging hikes and treks. The rod shaft is slender and supple to cast lures down to a
mere 1/32oz with whip-like accuracy and yet possesses the power to handle larger trout in the
+4lb class.
To achieve the ideal tip-up rod balance and one-hand cast ergonomics, dense hardwood
handles are carved and hand-finished for an intuitive pistol-grip feel. Line guides of lightweight
titanium further reinforce the balance. HUNTSMAN recalls the nostalgia of an earlier time, its
packable multi-piece form and hand-finished hardwood bringing us closer to the mountainous
wild with each cast.
In the hushed flow of a mountain stream, where the gentle gurgle of current meandering around the rocks replaces the thrum of civilization, Masakazu Fukuyama finds himself most alive. This isn’t your grandfather’s trout fishing—though it shares a lineage with classic techniques, it departs boldly, blending bait finesse, rapid fire precision casts, and modern style […]
By late spring, as the final echoes of the spawn fade into the warmth of early summer, bass begin to look up. It’s topwater season—arguably the most electrifying window in bass fishing—and few presentations capture the aggression and opportunism of post-spawn bass like a walking bait skittering across the surface. Two elite contenders stand at […]
Among the wide variety of swimbaits and jigs available to bass anglers, the DARK SLEEPER has quietly established itself as one of the most effective and versatile options for targeting pressured fish on the bottom and mid depth areas. Its numerous weight and length options offer an ideal profile, fall rate and action for both […]
