Description

The Flex Master 118 (フレックスマスター118) is the long-length model in Evergreen's Zephyr Avantgarde (ゼファーアバンギャルド) seabass series, designed with angler Daisuke Mori around an 11'8" blank that flexes through its whole length rather than relying on stiffness, so it can be cast a long way without arm strength. The extra length is built for approaching skittish seabass in city harbours from a step back off the water's edge, in open fields with room behind the angler; the curve-through tip is also meant to absorb short strikes on a slow retrieve rather than pulling the lure away before the fish commits.

Length is 3.56m (11'8") in 2 pieces, standard weight 208g, lure range 8-35g, and recommended line PE 0.8-1.5 go / mono 6-16lb. The blank uses a dense, low-resin lay-up with a thin coat of paint, reinforced at the butt with 4-axis Quatro-Cross carbon for sensitivity and butt power on larger fish. Guides are Fuji titanium-frame SiC K-guides in an original low-tangle PE-line setup, joined with a spigot joint, and finished with a black Fuji VSS up-lock reel seat and a Zephyr original end plate. Target species: seabass (シーバス). Made in Japan.

Information

The blank

The full-length blank flexes through its entire span rather than relying on stiffness, so casts reach long range without needing arm strength, and the curve-through tip absorbs short strikes on a slow retrieve rather than pulling the lure away before the fish commits.

What it's built for

Built for approaching skittish seabass in city harbours from a step back off the water's edge, or in open fields with plenty of room behind the caster, where extra length adds distance without extra effort.

How it fishes

Suited to a slow, steady retrieve with minnows and swimming lures at range, holding contact through the cast so a short, tentative strike still connects rather than getting pulled away.

The setup it likes

Pair with a 4000-class spinning reel, PE 0.8-1.5 go line and a 6-16 lb fluorocarbon leader. Favour the lighter end in clear harbour water and the heavier end for open banks.
