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.

Extreme Sensitivity with Wire & Worm

Following the Machine Guncast (MC) TYPE-I, which demonstrates regular-class fast-moving and versatile performance, it goes without saying that TYPE-II has also undergone dramatic evolution.

When we talk about the predecessor, 07MC TYPE-II, it leaves a strong impression as a wire bait dedicated machine centered around Toshinari Namiki's 3/8oz. class. With a cast motion that bends the entire rod parabolically and shoots bullets into pin spots, everyone should recall its lively spinnerbaiting.

However, Namiki's intention for diversity became apparent with the completion of TYPE-I. To put it extremely, he had envisioned completing the game with the three models in the MC series. If that were the case, it was indeed a fact that performance as a dedicated machine alone was somewhat insufficient.

"You might get the impression that it has become overall stiffer, but the castability has improved significantly. Especially noticeable during roll casts."

The fundamental reform of the 21MC TYPE-II lies in the tapered design, which has been finished to a regular fast. The bending point during casting is concentrated around the fourth guide. While maintaining a strong tip that does not lose to wire baits, it is connected to a robust butt power. The X45 Full Shield, which tightens the outer layer from the blank tip to the butt, prevents distortion and stabilizes the axis of the body and the rod, enabling casting from all angles. It embodies a series of flowing MC motions, drawing compact circles accurately while maintaining the momentum of the pickup.

"It has also succeeded in becoming a more 'catchable rod' during retrieval, and has enhanced its ability to respond to worming."

The deepening of the taper and the overall power-up of the blank have acquired a border that does not lose to spinnerbaits heavier than the 3/8oz. class, such as 5/8oz. In slow rolling, it shows what could be called a "V-shaped taper," allowing slack winding that does not spoil the vibrations from underwater while maintaining the tension of the tip. At the same time, this "V-shaped taper" also provides excellent sensitivity in bottom search with Texas or free rigs, and high-density no sinkers, creating a natural feeding interval. Of course, its hooking performance for short bites is solid.

21MC TYPE-II has dramatically improved its ability to handle heavy wire baits and respond to worming, significantly increasing sensitivity. A versatile rod equipped with elements required for MC style combat deployment is here.
