Description

GRANDAGE LEGACY BRILLIANT S68MLT is the standard model for mebaru plugging. It combines casting accuracy and castability for stress-free casts placed exactly where intended. Sharp, decisive actions are easy to impart when working a plug, making this an aggressive rod for actively targeting mebaru (Japanese rockfish). The blank also handles plugs and light metal jigs depending on conditions, and keeps mekki (juvenile trevally) and kamasu (barracuda) - small migratory fish - in view as targets; the next-generation blank shows an aptitude for a wide range of targets.

Information

The blank

At 66g the blank is light enough for all-day plug casting, with a crisp tip that lets sharp, decisive rod-tip actions transfer straight into the lure for aggressive, deliberate plug movement rather than a vague wobble. In the hand it feels purposeful rather than flashy, doing what its stated construction promises without surprises through a normal session.

What it's built for

The standard model for mebaru (Japanese rockfish) plugging, fished around harbour lights, breakwaters and rocky structure after dark or at dawn and dusk when mebaru feed actively near the surface. Choose the specific model and size that most closely matches your usual water and quarry before heading out for the day.

How it fishes

Work small plugs with sharp twitches and pauses to trigger a reaction strike, switching to light metal jigs when mebaru are holding deeper; the same rod also covers mekki and kamasu when they move through. Watch how fish respond on the day and be ready to slow down or speed up the retrieve accordingly.

The setup it likes

Pair with a 1000-2000 size spinning reel, 1-4lb line or PE #0.2-0.8, and a fine fluorocarbon leader suited to the light lures and line classes this rod is built around. Fine-tune the exact line class and leader strength to local structure and the average size of fish you expect to meet.
