Mojo Bass TRIGON Available August 1

Mojo Bass TRIGON is a comprehensive series of bass rods built on a proven, high-performance platform that pushes the limits and sets new standards in angler control and comfort with new science-based ergonomic advancements. The all-new assortment includes 34 lengths, powers and actions (25 casting and 9 spinning) to support all current bass fishing techniques with radically improved performance from a thoroughly researched anthropometric design.

TRIGON’s design is based on actual anthropometric data of the human hand. “Our unique TRIGON handle recognizes that the human hand does not form a circle when closed. It adapts to the angler instead of the angler having to adapt to the rod,” says Teach. “TRIGON presents a curved triangular profile with a rounded internal vertex and a flattened upper curve. The results are a more comfortable grip so anglers can fish longer while exercising greater control to maximize power and accuracy.
