VALLEYHILL BlackScale Intense BKTC-68LMXS

A new standard for bass rods .Biwako spec.

Ten years have passed since the "Black Scale XP" series, which was released as a rod for Lake Biwa power games, and the situation of the lake has changed greatly compared to when it was developed. The weed area has decreased, the number of individual fish has decreased, and the landing place of the bass has become more pinpoint and severe, and the value of one bass is increasing. Performance has also changed significantly. Takashi Nishijima, who works as a full-time professional guide in Lake Biwa, may be the one who realized it the most in the current Lake Biwa, which cannot be controlled with only a strong rod. "I will definitely make a part-time job" ... "BLACK SCALE INTENSE" is a form of his wishes and thoughts. The three elements required for this series are "a tip that catches delicate bites and sucks them in without discomfort, butt power that can determine hooking 100%, and flexible bending during fighting". In order to achieve these performances, the blanks are based on the "low-resin carbon material" used in other series, and the tip part is made of a delicate "solid material" that is fused to provide sufficient strength. Optimize action and rod balance while maintaining tension. Finished in a blank that exquisitely balances delicate elements and strength elements. "Black Scale INTENSE" advocated by a professional guide who has experienced the changes of Lake Biwa more than anyone else, proposes a new standard for bass rods dedicated to Lake Biwa from now on to anglers.

This is a Lake Biwa bait finesse model that uses a solid material with a slightly firm tip. The solid tip, which is not too soft, is set to an exquisite hardness that allows the bite to be sucked into the nervous bass without repelling it. The action with moderate tension not only can handle a wide range of finesse worms, small minnows and cranks, but also increases the flight distance when casting.
