The EARLY for Surf are long distance casting models developed to meet the needs of surfcasting. With the concept focusing on long distance casting, the light weight blank and light casting feel will allow anglers to maintain their concentration throughout the day.
For the 2021 season, we have added 2 new models to the vast lineup. The 105MMH/B which is equipped with a highly responsive feel even at a long range and the 99ML which is ideal for anglers who prefer a more fineness style.
With great casting ability and highly sensitive characteristics, the EARLY for Surf models are not only ideal for the flat fish game targeting Flounders and Flatheads with minnows, metal jigs and soft plastics, but also great to target seabass and Blackfin Seabass off the rocks, small blue-runners, monstrous Jew fish and the northern sea Trout.
Although these are designed mainly for the surf game, its versatility will enable anglers to utilize these models for various games requiring long distance casting. The blanks have been built up with a sharp casting feel, the power to stop the thrashing fish and highly sensitive to meet the needs of the ever-changing surf casting game. We hope you can experience our creation in the vast field.
