Information

The blank

A 4-axis carbon blank built as a super-heavy versatile big-bait rod, strong enough to launch and control 50-230 g lures while doubling as an offshore casting rod for game fish up to the 40 kg class.

What it's built for

Built for large seabass and akame taken on big baits from shore, and for offshore casting sessions targeting yellowfin tuna and similar heavyweight species. This bridges shore big-bait fishing and genuine offshore game fishing in one blank.

How it fishes

Suited to a powerful, steady retrieve for big swimbaits and pencils, or an aggressive popping and stickbait action offshore, with the rod's power built to control fish rather than finesse a bite.

The setup it likes

Pair with a large offshore or big-bait casting reel, PE3-8 braid and a heavy shock leader. Size the leader to whichever end of its dual-purpose brief is being fished that day.

Before you buy

Straight answers

How is it priced?

We give you the cheapest available price, as we get it directly from the distributors. You pay what an angler in Japan pays, plus postage.

When does my order leave Japan?

Orders are packed in Japan and handed to Japan Post within 3 to 5 business days. You get a tracking number by email the moment it ships.

How long does delivery take?

10 to 20 business days on Standard (tracked) or Economy, or 3 to 7 business days on Express EMS with tracking and insurance. Every option is priced at checkout before you pay.

Will I be charged import duty or tax?

VAT is collected at checkout, so there is nothing to pay on delivery for standard orders.

Is it genuine Japanese stock?

Yes. Every item is the Japanese domestic release with the original JAN barcode, sourced from an authorised Japanese distributor, never grey imports or marketplace resellers.
