Description

A boat reel built around a 2-position 60/70mm single power handle (shipped set to 70mm) that covers everything from light aji to LT hirame, as well as LT gomoku (mixed-species bottom fishing), tachiuo (cutlassfish), and jigging. Its carbon matrix drag has a built-in clicker so you can gauge line speed by ear and stay ahead of a break-off. The thumb rest is offset toward the handle arm for a deeper, more secure grip when fighting fish, and the clutch bar uses an asymmetrical design to prevent accidental palming presses. Frame and side plates are graphite; gears are brass DuraGear.

Gear ratio: 6.5:1. Max drag: 7kg. Bearings: 4 ball + 1 roller. Max line retrieve: 67cm/turn. Handle: 60/70mm single. Spool diameter: 33mm. Weight: 192g. Line capacity: PE2-200m.

Japanese name: Blue Max Boat.

Information

The drivetrain

An offset thumb rest gives a secure, deep grip for controlled thumbing on the drop, and the carbon matrix drag's built-in clicker lets you track line speed by ear as a bait or jig falls to the bottom in deeper water.

What it's built for

Built for light aji, LT hirame, LT gomoku mixed-species bottom fishing, tachiuo and light jigging fished vertically from a small boat, where compact size and precise drop control matter more than raw casting distance. Local knowledge of the venue and season helps decide exactly when this gear will out-fish a more general-purpose setup.

How it fishes

The 6.5:1 gear ratio, giving 67cm per handle turn, suits a steady retrieve off the bottom, with the drag set to a maximum of 7kg to protect light line on the strike from an unseen fish. Small changes in cadence often make the difference between a follow and a committed strike from a cautious fish.

Spools and spares

Pair with a light-to-medium boat rod matched to the target species, spooled with PE2-200m and a fluorocarbon leader suited to the bottom structure being fished. Fine-tune line and leader strength up or down slightly to suit local conditions and the average size of fish encountered.
