The retrieve action of the Basin Guide series is a "High Pitch Wide Wobbly Roll" action that is faster, wider, and more on a single reel roll.

This action is made up of outstanding water handling and high balancing performance, so it is characterized by a quick swim in the upstream and a good response to slower retrieves, which suppresses the downstream action breakdown to the utmost limit. 

In the twitch action, the brakes are applied to the sudden water pressure caused by the rod work, and a one-point fluttering action is possible to hit the flounder with a twist on the spot without moving, and it can handle everything from reaction to sticky fishing. This one-point fluttering action also contributes to the reduction of missed bytes.

In addition, with a soft lure that lightly fuels the rod, it is possible to lightly twist the body to create a "pause" between the bites, and to fish for bites from the angler.
