Bullseye Cherry Picker S198 / 3-21 g

The Bullseye Cherry Picker - a True All-Rounder

The Bullseye Cherry Picker 198 is a genuine all-rounder built for a wide range of techniques. It excels with Carolina rig, Texas rig and similar presentations, and it handles smaller to medium-sized hard lures equally well. What makes this rod especially remarkable is the combination of extremely low weight with serious power and outstanding sensitivity. Despite its featherlight blank, it has already handled wels catfish to 116 cm and steered plenty of metre-plus pike confidently to the landing net.

The goal behind this rod was to build the ideal rig and perch rod - and Bullseye took a distinctive approach to the action. Rather than the blank getting progressively stiffer from tip to butt in the conventional way, the pivot point sits around 10 - 15 cm behind the tip. This gives the rod a quick, crisp feel while still allowing a fish to take the lure without resistance. The signal transmission is razor-sharp and instantaneous, as you would expect from Bullseye - every bite comes through like an electric shock. After a three-year development and testing phase, the Cherry Picker has been refined for ambitious anglers the world over. At 198 cm, it works equally well from the bank, a boat, a float tube, a kayak or a stream.

The blank is constructed from Japanese Toray carbon using the LWC (Lotus-Woven-Composite) process, delivering crystal-clear transmission and exceptional spring power.

The outstanding performance goes hand in hand with an elegant finish, carried through to the reel seat. The ergonomic ECSM reel seat is highly regarded among anglers for its close, precise fit, which gives you complete control. The matt lacquer on the high-quality carbon tubes rounds off the look perfectly.

This rod leaves nothing to be desired: crystal-clear transmission, a low rod weight of 102 g, perfect ergonomics, unlimited power and a timeless, elegant design.
