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.

Genealogy of jigs and worms inheriting super sensitivity

The prodigy 01BA-LTD was ahead of his time. The lineage of the still-talked-about legendary rod was a milestone handpicked by the then budding tournament angler Takuya Hashimoto from among the numerous bass rods of the era.

"My hands still remember the shock of super sensitivity and overwhelming lightness."

Among the series, the 02BADGER 701HFB, cherished as a jig and Texas stick, was the driving force behind his achievements, leading to AOY in WBS based on Lake Kasumigaura and clinching the first victory in the All-Star Classic.

"While it was delicate in its own right, nowadays, it lacks rigidity. I was determined to create a rod that meets the demands of today's increasingly tough conditions."

Although overwhelmed by the rebound force and sensitivity described as super sensory carbon at the time, the concern about the bat bending parabolically during casting grew as he became familiar with other rods.

"I want it to stretch a bit more even in low trajectory casts and pitchings under overhangs."

The taper adopts DAIWA's original multi-taper design. During operation, the tip can feel even the slightest irregularities, enabling flexible manipulation while holding the rig in place.

The concern about the butt section was addressed with 3DX reinforcement. Equipped with a technology that ensures rapid rebound after bending, it assists during casting and fighting. Additionally, X45 Full Shield suppresses power loss due to torsion, improving casting accuracy.

"Casting, handling, hooking, lifting fish, each technology performs its respective task."

The main material is the modern SVF COMPILE-X, which brings back that super sensory feeling. From fall to bottom, it conveys the invisible underwater conditions as if you were holding them in your hand.

"There's no waste in anything, and it transitions instantly to the next action. It will become the standard for jig rods in the future."

The length is reduced by 4 inches compared to the previous generation, to 6ft. 8in. Power is increased by half a rank compared to the beloved Black Jack for downshot, with the advantage of being easy to handle even on rental boats or shore fishing due to its not-too-long length.
