Background of development :

In Tokyo Bay, Spanish mackerel game is currently attracting attention as a new lure target because it can be caught well from autumn to early winter.
However, most of the rods used were substituted with seabass rods and dolphin rods.
If you take the Spanish mackerel game seriously, you will still need a special rod. This is SKUAD SAWARA, a rod dedicated to Japanese Spanish mackerel, which is labeled as "SAWARA" by Legit Design.

SKS70MH+-SAWARA BLADE JIG SPECIAL :

Cast middle to heavy weights with ease! Special rod for blade jig with muscle blank

A blade jig that got a lot of fishing results in Tokyo Bay. In the game at the mouth of the bay and Sagami Bay at the end of the season, the lure used will be required to fly from the back of the bay because the range will be deeper, around 70m, and the range will be deeper.
Blade jigs are also required to cast not only 30-40g, which is the center of the bay, but also 50g, 60g, and sometimes up to 80g. The basics are simple, just cast and wind. The feature is high-speed retrieve, and in the original Setouchi region, it is said to "wind as fast as smoke comes out of the reel". In order to stabilize high-speed retrieve, it is necessary to have a grip that can be firmly held by the side.
And the longest 7'0" that allows long casting and effective handling of the blade jig. As with the Minnow Special, a large diameter guide is adopted to reduce troubles such as miscasting as the knot hits the guide. Surgence knot, etc. It was possible to cast smoothly even with a knot with a large hump.The blank has a certain amount of tip and does not repel the bite of fish, and it has the butt power to float and catch blue fish Spanish mackerel. Jig Special rod.

Blank :

A blank that can handle a wide range of minnows from around 15g to around 45g and blade jigs with high mass, it does not repel the bite, and after hooking, the butt can float and catch fish without carelessly going wild. Adopted a low elastic wall thickness structure to have power. The muscular and plump low-elasticity carbon compounded blank is a gem that brings out the seasoning of the ledget design. Of course, SKUAD's No. 18 "aramid fiber reinforcement" is applied, making it a special item with almost no blind spots.

Guide :

Adopts a large diameter guide that can cast smoothly.
A Spanish mackerel game based on casting as soon as you find a "bounce". If the knot interferes with the guide and a miscast occurs, you will often miss a once-in-a-lifetime chance... Whether or not you can continue the game even if the knot becomes a little larger due to the sudden change of line on the boat depends on the "performance" of the rod.

Reel Seat :

Fuji Industry VSS reel seat is set with uplock. The part that touches your hand is rubberized to prevent slipping, so you can grip it firmly during casting and fighting, and you will be able to use it comfortably all day long.

Grip :

The specially shaped EVA is designed to be long enough for a strong grip even at the front. Stable fighting is facilitated by grasping the front part even in a sudden big game or a big fight at the time of fatigue in the latter half of actual fishing.

Grip detachable type :

Because of the system that receives the blank in the grip, it maintains almost the same performance as one piece. Even if you use a heavy plug or jig all day long, it will not move, and you will not feel uneasy even when fighting a big fish over 1m.

Rear grip :

The blade jig SP is set slightly longer than that of the minnow SP so that you can perform stable high-speed retrieval all day by holding it firmly on the side. On the other hand, the minnow SP does not get in the way when you apply actions such as jerk, and it has an exquisite length that allows you to hold it firmly when fighting or retrieving. The original shape adopted for both models allows you to get a stable hold feeling in any scene.

▲ Reinforcement with aramid fiber eliminates the blank's vulnerability and gives it suppleness and torquey power.
