What makes it different

Built to fish, not just to sell

The drivetrain

A classic round-body baitcasting reel with a simple 1 ball bearing / 1 roller bearing set, giving a mechanical, old-school retrieve feel rather than ultra-smooth modern gearing.

What it's built for

Sized for long-casting heavy-lure work such as snakehead (raigyo) fishing and kago-zuri (cage/basket) fishing, where line capacity and drag strength matter more than finesse.

How it fishes

A 5.3:1 gear ratio retrieves 65cm of line per handle turn, suiting steady, powerful retrieves for topwater frogs or heavy jig work rather than fast presentations.

Spools and spares

Pair with a heavy-power baitcasting rod rated for big-bait or frog work, PE3号 braid (around 280m capacity), and a heavy leader suited to raigyo cover.

Straight answers

FAQ

Is the JDM version different from the US or AU release?

Often, yes. JDM releases can differ in spool depth, weight and handle options, and the Japanese lineup is usually broader — including sizes and models never exported.

Will spare spools from my current reel fit?

Spool compatibility is per generation, not per model name. Check the model year and size code against the spool before buying — the model code is listed on every reel.

What size should I choose?

As a ladder: 1000–2500 for finesse and light lines, 2500–4000 for general lure work, 4000 and up for heavy or salt duties. Match the size to your line and water first.

PG, HG or XG — what's the difference?

PG is a slow, powerful gear for cranking. HG is the all-round high gear. XG is the fastest retrieve for picking up slack quickly — higher speed trades away winding torque.

What warranty or service do imported reels have?

There is no local service centre for a JDM reel. Repairs and servicing go back to Japan, usually with a fee and a multi-week turnaround — weigh that before you buy.

Can I still get spares for older JDM-only models?

Often, yes — Japanese makers keep parts lists for older models, and some spares are stocked here. See the spares and custom parts collection, or ask before you order.
