Description

Abu Garcia OCEANFIELD BoatSeabass（オーシャンフィールドボートシーバス）is an offshore boat rod series built for toughness and trouble-free landings. A regular taper lets the blank load up fully against a seabass's sudden dive under the boat, helping prevent hook pulls; large-diameter Fuji New Concept guides make it easier to fish with thicker leaders. X-carbon tape reinforcement (45°/135°) adds torque and twist resistance. Rated for seabass over 80cm, plus katsuo (skipjack), meji, and large shiira (mahi-mahi).

This listing is the OFBS-702M model: 7'0"/213.4cm, Medium power, regular taper, 2-piece, spinning, 124g, PE ~2, folded length 110.0cm, tip diameter 1.7mm, lure weight 7-35g, butt diameter 10.2mm. Material: 98% carbon, 2% fiberglass.

What makes it different

Built to fish, not just to sell

The blank

The regular-taper blank loads progressively through the mid and butt sections, so a big seabass's sudden dive under the boat is absorbed rather than met head-on. Large-diameter guides and X-carbon tape reinforcement add torque and twist resistance without turning the tip lifeless.

What it's built for

Built for boat seabass fishing over structure such as bridge pylons and harbour walls, where fish over 80cm are the target and a sudden hook pull at the rail would otherwise cost the fish. It also covers incidental katsuo, meji and large shiira on the same trip.

How it fishes

Fish it vertically or on a short pitch with live or soft bait, letting the medium-power, regular-taper blank do the work of cushioning headshakes rather than forcing the fight. The 2-piece, 124g build keeps it manageable for a full session on the rail.

The setup it likes

A mid-size baitcasting or lever-drag boat reel loaded with PE ~2 and a thick mono or fluorocarbon leader suits the 7-35g lure rating and the thicker leaders the large guides are built to handle. Fine-tune the exact line class and leader strength to local structure and the average size of fish you expect to meet.

Straight answers

FAQ

What does the power rating (UL, L, M, MH) actually mean?

JDM power letters often run lighter than the same letter on a US or Australian blank. The honest spec is the lure-weight range in grams on each listing — match that to what you throw, and use the letter as a tiebreaker.

How do I read Japanese rod lengths?

Japanese lengths are written in feet and inches as a decimal: 6.6 reads as 6 feet 6 inches, not six-point-six feet.

One-piece or multi-piece for travel?

Two-piece and telescopic travel rods pack shorter and ship more easily. One-piece blanks feel cleaner, but long parcels can attract courier length surcharges and some carriers route them more slowly.

What warranty or service do imported rods have?

There is no local service centre for a JDM rod. Repairs go back to Japan, usually with a fee and a multi-week turnaround — we state that plainly so you can weigh it before you buy.

Will a one-piece rod cost more to ship?

It can. Long parcels attract courier length surcharges on some routes and can move through fewer carriers. Any shipping cost shows at checkout before you pay — no surprises after the order.
