Inshore Boat Casting
A New Era of Game Fishing Begins
A new chapter is unfolding in the world of boat casting games. Not long ago, inshore boat fishing was synonymous with boat seabass fishing, offering far less variety than its rapidly evolving shore-based counterpart.
However, in recent years, there’s been a nationwide boom in inshore game targets like yellowtail (Inada), amberjack (Warasa), and large Spanish mackerel (Sawara). This explosive growth has drawn an increasing number of anglers offshore. In parallel, boat fishing for black sea bream (Kurodai) has also gained traction, giving inshore casting an almost gold-rush-like momentum.
BLANK
A new generation blank has been born, with TORAYCA® third generation "M40X" and "T1100G" as the main materials. In particular, the sensitivity, flight distance, and operability have been achieved with outstanding performance that everyone can feel.
NANO JOINT
A new joint system developed by APIA that uses NANOALLOY® Technology to eliminate the weak point of the joint, which is the weak point of 2-piece rods. Utilizing this technology, the GRANDAGE LEGACY uses the put-in method in all models. In addition to "strength," "lightweight," and "high balance," it achieves performance that exceeds that of the inro joint, even in the bending curve. In addition, the joint is polished with ultra-high precision of 2 to 5 mm to prevent it from loosening during fishing.
※Since the NANO JOINT is polished with ultra-high precision, do not use ferrule wax.
GRIP
Palm Grip System – Stable Control Without Excessive Force
The APIA Palm Grip System is designed so that your palm fully contacts the EVA grip with no gaps, providing a secure and natural hold. The rear side of the grip is slightly elevated for enhanced fit and comfort. The reel seat uses shrink rubber, delivering solid tactile feedback to your fingertips for superior control and sensitivity.
SILVER SCALE Series
A Series Specialized for Boat Seabass Fishing
The GRANDAGE NAVAL SILVER SCALE series is built specifically for boat seabass fishing. Gone are the days when boat seabass was considered easy. Today, success depends heavily on precise casting and reading the bite window accurately.
Does that mean high-rigidity rods are the answer? Not necessarily. On a rocking boat, rod absorption plays a vital role in preventing hook-outs. The Silver Scale series uses a unique material blend never seen before, striking a perfect balance between control and forgiveness — a game-changer in this new era of boat casting.
SILVER SCALE S68ML
The S68ML offers outstanding accuracy and casting distance even with short-stroke casts. Its powerful blank allows you to control large, trophy-class seabass with ease. Built with cutting-edge T1100G carbon, this next-generation rod offers a casting and fighting experience that sets a new standard for boat seabass fishing.
SILVER SCALE S65ML
Designed specifically for flip casting — a technique traditionally favored by experienced anglers to target seabass hugging tight structures — the S65ML brings this advanced method within reach for anglers of all skill levels. Thanks to the T1100G carbon material and refined rod action, it enables precise and compact lure delivery deep into structure zones.
The butt section has been reinforced to help pull even large fish cleanly out of tight structure. Guide configuration is fully custom: soft, responsive titanium-framed guides are used at the tip for flexibility and feel, while rigid stainless-steel guides at the butt provide the stopping power needed during hard fights.
With the ability to place your lure deep inside cover, this rod unlocks entirely new possibilities in boat-based seabass fishing.
SEAFARER Series
Target anything, anywhere. A truly all-round rod series built for global boat anglers.
The GRANDAGE NAVAL SEAFARER is designed for nearshore boat casting, covering everything from seabass and the increasingly popular Spanish mackerel game, to overseas expeditions for barramundi or peacock bass.
"Seafarer" means "traveler of the seas" — a perfect name for a rod that’s ready to join you on every fishing journey around the world.
SEAFARER S76M
In response to the growing popularity of Spanish mackerel casting in recent years, the S76M is designed for full-power casting from boats, followed by lure jerking to trigger bites — a proven method in this category.
What makes a truly effective casting rod for this purpose? The S76M answers all those needs:
7'6" length offers max casting distance while maintaining ease of handling on a boat;
The only rod in the NAVAL series to feature T1100G × M40X carbon blend for high-end blank sensitivity and recovery;
Tailored action to generate just the right slack line during jerking for more bite opportunities;
Ideal for: Spanish mackerel, large seabass, mid-size pelagics.
This isn’t just a “long & strong rod” — it redefines performance for casting Spanish mackerel, and stands ready to lead the new era of nearshore boat casting.
SEAFARER C64M+
A baitcasting model designed with PE line in mind, the C64M+ delivers pinpoint accuracy for short-range shots and excellent performance for full-distance casting — all without worrying about backlash.
So, what does the “+” in C64M+ stand for?
Its blank structure combines T1100G (33t) high modulus carbon with T700S (24t) low modulus carbon. This fusion removes the usual trade-off seen in many “monster game rods” (which are strong but overly heavy and sluggish). The result is:Lightweight handling、Fast rebound、Incredible toughness
over 2x the breaking strength of other NAVAL models
Guide setting follows a hybrid concept: flexible titanium-framed guides up front for sensitivity and feel, and high-rigidity stainless-steel guides at the butt section for secure control under load.
With a collapsed length under 1300mm, it’s ready for international travel. Whether you’re after seabass, barramundi, or even peacock bass, the C64M+ offers extra power and unmatched versatility for adventurous anglers worldwide.
