Description

ブラックスター (Black Star) is XESTA's light game rod flagship, fully redesigned for 2025 after nine years on the previous "Second Generation" blanks. The maker's official page describes the goals of the rebuild as making the blanks "lighter," "slimmer" and "stronger."

Blanks are built from Toray's T-1100G carbon, and the line now spans both solid-tip and tubular-tip models to cover nearly every light game situation - from jig-head fishing to split-shot rigs, minnows and metal jigs - targeting aji, mebaru, small migratory fish (mekki), barracuda (kamasu) and black seabream (chinu) across harbours and open water. This listing covers the S69L-S, B75MH-S, S74ML-T, S83MH-T, B66M-T, S63UL-S and S65L-T models.

Information

The blank

Toray T-1100G carbon blanks in both solid-tip and tubular-tip builds, redesigned for 2025 to be lighter, slimmer and stronger than the previous generation while keeping a sensitive, light-game feel across every model in the range.

What it's built for

Covers nearly every light-game situation, from jig-head fishing to split-shot rigs, minnows and metal jigs, targeting aji, mebaru, mekki, kamasu and chinu across harbours and open water throughout the season and across tide phases.

How it fishes

Suits slow jig-head twitching, split-shot rig drifting, minnow jerking and light metal-jig casting, matched by model to the technique and water depth being fished, from shallow harbour edges to deeper open-water drop-offs.

The setup it likes

Pair with a 1000–2500 light-game spinning reel, PE0.3–0.6 mainline and a fine fluorocarbon leader, choosing reel size and line class to match the specific model's power and intended technique on the 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.
