LEGIT DESIGN Squad SKS-ST78M-TIP Run Wide Dart Special

SKUAD: TIPRUN

Concept

D.A.C. (Dart Action Concept) Tip-run Eging Rod Series
Supervised by Masaki Noro — one of the foremost authorities in tip-run eging.

Modern tip-run fishing requires more than color rotation. Changes in dart action — narrow, precise darts vs. wide, sweeping darts — can dramatically trigger aggressive reactions from Aori squid. By segmenting rod characteristics for different dart techniques, this series enables anglers to execute the latest high-performance strategies in tip-run eging.
