Devotion to Real Fishing

★ The obstacles before us serve as signposts on the path to victory.

★ The god of victory resides within oneself, and in the details.

★ In 2021, a new chapter of STEEZ begins, with layers of depth added.

★ Now, let us carve a new page with our own hands.

The extreme reduction of resin volume is the true 'muscle' of the blank.

When compared to the standard at 100%, SVF COMPILE-X can achieve a maximum sensitivity of 171.4%.

Pursuing ergonomics for a more natural grip holds the key to victory.

The new AIR BEAM SEAT enhances attacking power, ensuring that 21STEEZ never loosens its grip on the angler and the rod, the direct contact points. By offsetting the penetrating blank within the seat, it ensures stability by lowering the center of gravity. The seat is designed with reduced steps between the trigger and the rear, and the hood is angled to fit any grip style comfortably. The trigger itself is designed to be thin and short, allowing the index finger to support during casting and smoothly transition to 2 or 3 fingers for retrieval without interference from the middle or ring fingers.

Zero Move Finesse Perfected by Ultra Sensitivity

Takuya Hashimoto, known for advocating the "stoplight rig" as his ace in the hole, hails from the Kasumigaura water system and has honed his finesse techniques alongside the 15BLACK JACK (STZ 681MMHFB-SV), a staple in his arsenal, diverging from the wire bait magic.

However, as field conditions grow increasingly challenging year by year, he quietly began seeking evolution tailored to the modern era.

"The intended use was always clear. I wanted to push that aspect to its limits."

Hashimoto's primary rig of choice is the down shot. What's demanded to further narrow down spots from tight areas is excellent bottom sensitivity, transmitting vibrations captured by the sinker through the line to the hands. The ultra-high sensitivity carbon technology, SVF COMPILE-X, adopted in previous models, has consistently delivered results.

"To make light rigs easier to cast and light lines easier to handle, a reevaluation of the taper design was necessary."

What the 21BLACK JACK acquired was a multi-taper that exhibits a parabolic bend only during high-load casting and fighting situations. It transitions from a slightly stiff fast taper, focusing the bend at one point, to a smoothly bending variable taper.

"While enhancing operability, sensitivity has been further refined."

The ultra-high sensitivity blank was taken to another level with AGS and CWS. DAIWA's unique setup of carbon guides and carbon cross-fixed guides transmits minute vibrations captured by the tip directly to the hands without absorption. In order to entice bass with tightly shut mouths, more finesse in operation was also gained.

Additionally, the X45 Full Shield tightly wraps the outermost layer from tip to butt using carbon bias, suppressing twist. This not only improves casting accuracy but also enables sharp hooking without power loss.

"As a byproduct, versatile performance emerged. The ease of handling relatively light lures has expanded."

In the main down shot, it demonstrates adaptability to 7g or heavier rigs, as well as light Texas rigs at 3.5g, multi jigs at 6g, and high-density backslides. Now is the time to experience the evolution of the 21BLACK JACK, which brings both bottom-searching and light cover fish under control.
