Information

The blank

Built using Grassroots' Premium Synthetic, Premium Polymer, Premium Flex and Multi Direction Layer blank constructions across the range, with tubular or glass-composite blanks and graphite or glass solid tips on select models, aimed at strong affinity between angler and rod through casting, lure control, hook-setting and landing.

What it's built for

A wide 12-casting, 5-spinning model line-up spans ultralight to heavy power, covering most bass techniques and water types from finesse work to heavier cover fishing in a single series. Most anglers can find a suitable model in the range without needing a second rod.

How it fishes

Retrieve technique follows the individual model's power and taper, from slow finesse presentations on the lighter models to faster reaction-bait retrieves and heavier cover work on the stronger ones. Taper and action are tuned specifically to each technique rather than shared across models.

The setup it likes

Pair spinning models with a 2000-2500 reel and 4-10 lb fluorocarbon, or casting models with a baitcasting reel and 10-20 lb fluorocarbon, sized to the specific model's power. Check the size chart against the technique being fished before choosing a model.

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.
