Description

TROUTIN' CAST TACTIST (トラウティンキャストタクティスト), produced by Hitoshi Hiramoto, is Smith's fast-action native-trout baitcasting rod.

With modern baitcasting reels having advanced so far that backlash is no longer something to fear, TACTIST is built to throw a satisfying trajectory, work the lure exactly as intended, and feel bites through a sensitive, tactile touch — the name is coined from the Latin root for "touch."

All models are 2-piece; blank material is 24t+30t graphite, unsanded finish; guides are Fuji titanium-frame Torzite on all models in a micro K-guide setting, with the top guide alone using a titanium-frame SiC ring. A neodymium magnet hook keeper (patent pending) is built into the front cork.

Information

The blank

A fast-action 24t+30t graphite blank throws a satisfying, controlled trajectory with modern low-profile baitcasters, working a lure exactly as intended while feeling bites through a sensitive, tactile touch.

What it's built for

Built for native-trout stream fishing with baitcasting tackle, where backlash is no longer the concern it once was and anglers want the accuracy and drag control a casting reel gives on tight water.

How it fishes

A neodymium magnet hook keeper built into the front cork keeps a spare lure secure between casts, and titanium-frame Torzite guides in a micro K-guide setting keep the outfit light and low-friction.

The setup it likes

Pairs with a shallow-spool baitfinesse casting reel on 2-6lb fluorocarbon, matched to spoons, spinners and small minnow plugs.

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.
