VALLEYHILL RetroGrade Z RGZS-68S-JP

Retrograde-Z Series: The Pinnacle Model

The Retrograde-Z series has been newly born as the ultimate model in the Barehill tip-run eging rod lineup. This series captivates anglers who are enthralled by the style of visually capturing subtle signals from targets at the tip and executing precise hookups. Drawing from over a decade of trial and error, the series has evolved into a more refined rod, leveraging accumulated experiences and know-how.

The Retrograde-Z series employs the latest T1100G material to enhance strength and ensure excellent power transmission, enabling smooth and comfortable actions from lure presentation to hooking and fighting. Additionally, the butt section features a four-axis carbon construction, providing stable and comfortable lure manipulation.

Unlike standard soft carbon solids, the tip is designed with optimal tension to allow anglers to detect "pin" bites, enhancing the excitement of hooking. This expert-level tip-run eging rod is tailored for anglers who prefer to apply tension themselves, discern bites, and skillfully execute hookups, rather than relying on automatic features.
