Cookai CK-710EXHC

Designed as a dedicated big-bait machine for targeting monster seabass and pelagic predators, the CK-710EXHC embodies overwhelming high power through its 5-D Graphite System. It is built to confidently handle the I-SLIDE series, KONOSIRUS series, magnum-size minnows, and other oversized hardbaits. Beyond hardbait power applications, this model also excels in bottom games using softbaits with sinkers over 40g for species like large greenling and rockfish. Despite its extreme power class, it delivers outstanding operability, allowing anglers to cast big baits over 100g all day with comfort.

Its firm, high-tension blank paired with a flexible fast-tip section enables crisp handling of heavy big baits while maintaining a design that won’t easily knock bites away—even when using thick-diameter PE lines. The uniquely engineered 5-D graphite blank supports massive loading forces, featuring a high-tension belly and rigid butt section that make full-swing long-distance casting of heavy lures effortless. It also provides excellent vibration transmission during retrieves with large minnows like the KAGELOU 155F and KANATA SW, and is highly responsive in current-reading drift techniques. From delicate lure control requiring fine rod work to powerful appeal actions such as jerking and slapping, this saltwater big-bait special covers the full spectrum of big-game presentations.

TECHNOLOGY

5-D Graphite System

The next-generation shaft technology established through the Destroyer series is the 5-D Graphite System. Five prepreg elements—each uniquely designed for one performance axis (longitudinal, lateral, diagonal, elongation, elasticity)—are combined like precision puzzle pieces and press-fused into a single shaft. By greatly reducing overlap from traditional layered construction, the system produces an exceptionally lightweight blank with highly refined rod action and outstanding strength. With no excess graphite layering, maximum rod performance is achieved with minimal material. Cookai delivers a completely new saltwater fishing experience.

Head Locking System (PAT.P)

Based on the precision-machined aluminum head-locking structure refined in the Destroyer series, the system has been optimized as a rigid core suitable for powerful saltwater targets. It dramatically increases axial rigidity in the butt section when a reel is mounted. Micro vibrations—from lure action changes to subtle bites detected by minnows or jigs—are transmitted with no loss from the tip to the reel seat, amplifying information directly into the angler’s hand. The system delivers a new sense of linear connectivity between the angler’s body and the rod shaft.

ITS Ergonomic Casting Reel Seat (D.PAT.)

Whether one-finger, two-finger, full palming, casting, retrieving, fighting, or switching hands, this reel seat achieves ultimate fit through a rare ergonomic design. Comfort and grip stability are maximized across all hand positions. By creating a direct interface with the blank, it maintains full control of the rod during every movement and assists comfortably during hard fights with big fish. This full-contact gripping system draws out the full potential of Cookai’s strong yet lightweight shaft.

Titanium Frame SiC-S Guides

All models are equipped with ultra-light, high-strength titanium frame / SiC-S guides selected through Megabass’ proprietary setup. The layout reflects extensive joint field testing conducted by the ITO Engineering Development Team and Megabass saltwater specialists nationwide. It delivers optimized long-distance casting, lure controllability, direct feedback, effective line management, and ideal load distribution from 0°θ to 130°θ during fights. This is the most advanced guide system currently available.

Hand-Built by Megabass Factory – Artwork Thread Wrapping

Each rod is wrapped meticulously by Megabass master craftsmen. The traditional Destroyer-style custom threadwork not only provides refined beauty but also maintains the strength required to withstand encounters with unexpected monster fish.
