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.

Flashy and Fast-Moving Decisive Strike on the Shore

"Even with a maximum of 6 rods, I want to complete my own game on land."
On the stage of the shore, where the title of champion is still desired by the fiery soul, Mitsuo Kawamura. In 2016, he launched the STEEZ SC (Shore Competition) series, and so far has produced three notable rods: FIRE WOLF, KING VIPER, and SC WEREWOLF. However, the next focus was on a crankbait rod. Given the nature of shore fishing, where it's difficult to carry multiple rods, prioritizing versatility was a given.
"What I sought was the ability to use a wide range of lures, from the commonly used Shad Crank to full-size and crawler baits."
The BL+661MLFB-G, a glass model once heavily used for cranking, showed good compatibility with crankbaits in general, but was inadequate for lures with low resistance. On the other hand, models with low modulus carbon Low Modulus, such as 06&16BLITZ, couldn't be expected to be versatile enough for large lures. Development faced challenges, undergoing numerous tests.
"A wide tolerance range, sharp casting, and the ability to pick up subtle vibrations, took two years of effort. After repeated fine-tuning, the answer finally arrived with 'SVF Glass,' and the delicate tip."
The delicate tip, made of glass material with lower elasticity than carbon, doesn't interfere with the movement of any lure and exhibits excellent responsiveness during bites, with a characteristic of "automatically getting on if inverted." The Gratech structure, achieved by reducing the resin content to the extreme in SVF glass, significantly enhances sensitivity to winding. Additionally, the composite of Low Modulus from the supple tip to the rapid taper of the belly to the butt. X45 Full Shield tightens the entire body, ensuring sharp casts with regular class crankbaits, and allows easy casting of crawler baits weighing around 20g, swiftly pulling fish from cover.
The handle section is a multi-mid length that is easy to cast, whether single or double-handed. The grip section, as it is used, has a high-grade cork engraved with the thoughts of battles fought. The butt end is selected for a round shape to prevent interference and avoid losing contact.
Furthermore, a color blank "Kawamura Brown," unprecedented in STEEZ history, was adopted. While being conscious of the traditional color of fast-moving machines, Kawamura's determination to challenge the next world of winding is evident.
