Shallow large GT and large amberjack that take on the challenge of high loads!
Achieves both "lightness" in casting and operation and "stickiness" after casting.
The development concept is to prioritize ease of catching fish and the inherent lift power of the rod.
It can also be used with PE8, and it is not stiff and has a gentle feel.
Encounters with large fish come suddenly.
Powerful running that cannot be stopped even under high loads.
In order to catch such large fish, we believe that "stickiness" and "obedient bending curve" are necessary. This is especially true in stormy weather and shallow rapids.
It is designed to draw a straight bend curve as the load is applied, and not to cause sudden changes in tension to the fish. By doing this, there will be less fluctuation in the load on the angler, and you will be able to continue applying stable pressure to the fish from beginning to end. Also, by realizing these things, we have been able to obtain excellent performance when casting, and it has become possible to surprisingly reduce the burden on the body when casting small to large lures.
This model also takes into account the weight of the angler.
The recommended weight is 70 kg or more, but even small people who can put their weight firmly on the rod can demonstrate the power of the rod.
For those who want to apply a higher load than #8, those who like a strong casting feeling, and those who use a popper while using a pencil (for example, you can use up to HAMMERHEAD Gcup, but it does not have a popping feeling and it entangles in the water) It is a recommended model for those who want to use a small diameter popper such as EXTREMELURE DEKAGERO and can perform various actions, and for those who want to pull the GT firmly while bending flexibly during fights. Since it has a straightforward taper that responds relatively flexibly to sudden thrusts, it is a model that can be recommended for those who have been afraid of challenging high loads until now, and it is possible to continue applying high loads with ease. (Around 15km, tested 18km in the steep river)
Of course, it has a feel that can be used all day long, even for those who don't fight under high loads, and even for those with a normal physique.
Compared to #8, it has a regular taper, so you will need some strength when throwing large lures, but you can easily cast up to 170g.
*The description gives the impression that it is harder than #8, but it is not stiff at all, and I think it falls into the mild type.
This model can be used not only for GT but also for large amberjack, but if there is a fish directly below, the power balance will be such that you have to lower your back a little to respond, so when using it for amberjack, please adjust the height of the pole and standing position. I think this needs to be considered. If the fish are far away, you can respond by setting the rod firmly.
Recommended for targets who can compete in a short period of time (within 15 minutes).
I think you can understand the performance of the rod from these things.
