MEGABASS Kaien VSM VSM-68MHS

The VSM-68MHS spinning model is purpose-built for the Omo-rig game, accommodating sinkers from size 20 to 40 and even suitable for 2.5 size Egi and double Omo-rig setups. It is capable of handling deep waters up to approximately 120m, areas with swift currents like off the coast of San'in, or when using heavy sinkers over size 30. The model boasts a stiffer mid-section (belly) and deeply powerful base, providing responsive jigging that doesn't succumb to the high load of sinkers or rigs. The torque-rich blanks facilitate comfortable handling of heavy rigs, even when lifting from the deep. At 6ft 8in with a medium-heavy action, this rod is a reassuring choice for anglers who quest for squid in deeper and more challenging areas.

TECHNOLOGY

ITO-HEAD LOCKING SYSTEM-CAIYEN SPEC（PAT.)

This patented head locking system from ITO Engineering, proven in the Destroyer series, delivers stability, vibration transmission, and machined appeal. The CAIYEN VSM is designed with a focus on squid metal-specific ergonomics and performance. The head locking hood, carved from a solid block of aluminum, contacts the outside of the blank's metal-sheathed connector under load. This enhances the rod shaft's axial rigidity and acts as a metal bridge that amplifies various vibrations from the depths - like delicate nibbles on the lure or the current's effect - and transmits them to the angler's hands. With use, it facilitates an intuitive connection between the angler's senses and equipment, making the rod shaft feel like an extension of self.

MBCS （MEGABASS BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION SEAT）(D.PAT)

Inspired by the historic "Megane Bridge," the oldest arched stone bridge in Nagasaki Prefecture, Yuki Ito and the Megabass team leveraged the bridge’s time-tested structural integrity to develop a gracefully contoured reel seat that fits effortlessly into the palm of the hand. The MBCS’s high arch also acts as a spine, aligning and transmitting rod orientation for precision cast and operation. The uniquely sculpted design maximizes strength with minimal weight, allowing direct-blank access to fingers to enhance sensitivity during deep contact.

MEGABASS ACTIVE GLASS SOLID-TIP

Each model features a supple glass solid-tip that ensures reliable hooking of subtle squid bites. The tip's uncanny sensitivity responds instantly to the slightest load without giving the squid any sense of unnatural resistance, achieving an otherworldly balance between precise angler control, and forgiving sensitivity. This dynamic solid-tip design also acts as a visual bite detector, responding gracefully to the most subtle advances of squid. The artisanal tip is finished in "SPEED YELLOW" for enhanced visibility at sea, pursuing both tactile and visual sensitivity to elevate your fishing experience.
