MEGABASS Cookai CK-108MHS

Toward the pinnacle of directability.
Cookai is a rod that delivers pure exhilaration.

CK-108MHS

This high-power long shaft is built for rock shores, boulder fields, surf zones, and vast river mouths—anywhere you challenge monster seabass or pelagic species with long-range shooting. Designed to lift and control large fish even in demanding terrain where rocks extend right to your feet, this model blends the “length” and “power” required for absolute landing performance.

To eliminate the heavy feel often associated with long rods, Megabass refined every element: blank layering, grip length, and each component were repeatedly tested to achieve an ideal balance. The result is unprecedented high-sensitivity performance in a 10'8" rod—something previously unimaginable in this length class. It picks up short bites, faint current shifts, and subtle bottom changes with remarkable clarity, delivering exceptional directability.

With the 5D Graphite System, blank recoil stabilizes instantly after a full cast, allowing you to experience both overwhelming long-distance performance and precision accuracy from the same rod. This new-dimension long-shaft feel is something entirely new, and the CK-108MHS is a masterpiece that fully showcases the advanced rod technologies infused into the Cookai series.

TECHNOLOGY

5D Graphite System

Megabass’ next-generation shaft technology, derived from the tournament-proven Destroyer series. Five proprietary prepreg elements—each specialized for longitudinal, lateral, diagonal, elongation, and elasticity properties—are assembled like a puzzle and fused into a single shaft. By minimizing overlapping layers, this system achieves extremely precise rod action and exceptional toughness in a remarkably lightweight blank. Without excess graphite layers, total performance is maximized with minimal material. Cookai delivers an entirely new saltwater game feel.

Head Locking System (PAT.P)

Developed from the Destroyer series’ machined-from-solid aluminum structure, optimized for powerful saltwater targets. It dramatically increases shaft rigidity at the butt section when a reel is mounted. Subtle lure vibrations and minute changes—such as tiny strikes during minnowing or jigging—are transmitted with zero loss from the tip to the reel seat, amplifying them directly into the angler’s hand. The system pursues a linear connection between body, arm, fingertips, and shaft for unmatched directability.

IES Reel Seat (D.PAT.P)

The fast-back bridge hump fits deeply into the palm. Based on extensive ergonomic testing by ITO Engineering, the 3D-shaped design suppresses blank spring-back during powerful shaft swings, ensuring a secure, comfortable grip that minimizes fatigue. It supports both linear lure control and the intuitive feel required for bottom fishing. Direct contact with the exposed blank further enhances sensitivity when long-casting or fishing structure.

Titanium Frame SiC-S Guides

All models feature carefully selected ultra-light, high-strength titanium frame SiC-S guides in a Megabass-exclusive setup. These layouts are based on exhaustive collaborative field testing by ITO Engineering and Megabass’ saltwater specialists nationwide. The system provides optimal long-distance casting, lure controllability, directability, line management, and load distribution from 0°–130° during the fight—representing the best current solution for real-world performance.

Hand-Built Artwork Threading (Megabass Factory)

Each rod is meticulously thread-wrapped by Megabass master craftsmen. This beautiful custom threading inherits the traditions of Destroyer rod building and delivers strength capable of handling unexpected monsters.
