Description

Kawahagi Game ST2 is Prox's standard boat rod designed specifically for kawahagi (filefish), built to catch the species' distinctive light bites. The glass-solid tip is tuned to hook sharply and sensitively, finished in high-visibility fluorescent orange, while the 24t-carbon shaft blank gives high sensitivity through the butt.

All-Fuji guides are set in a multi-point balanced layout on a 2-piece blank with 9:1 tip-fast action. Built for tarumase (slack-line) fishing, listen-and-set bite detection, and tapping techniques.

Two models: 180M (94cm closed, 106g, 15-35 go sinker load) and 180MH (94cm closed, 107g, 20-40 go sinker load), both 82% carbon with a Fuji TCS-16 reel seat.

Japanese product name: Kawahagi Game ST2.

Information

The blank

The glass-solid tip is tuned to register kawahagi's notoriously light bites sharply while the 24t-carbon shaft blank keeps high sensitivity through the butt for confirming a take before the strike.

What it's built for

Built specifically for kawahagi (filefish) boat fishing, where reading light bites through tarumase (slack-line) technique and tapping decides the session far more than casting distance or power.

How it fishes

Suits tarumase and tapping techniques — presenting bait with slack line and listening/watching the tip for the bite — rather than a conventional retrieve.

The setup it likes

Pair with a small kawahagi-specific baitcasting reel, PE0.6–0.8 braid, and standard kawahagi rigs with sinkers from 15–40号 matched to the model.
