Confronting the Unknown Giants: The Put-In Joint BKG (Bukkomi Game) Series
BKG (Bukkomi Game) is an exciting and straightforward game fishing style proposed by DAIWA, where anglers cast natural baits from rocky shores or breakwaters to go head-to-head with unknown monster fish. The Battle Game BKG (Put-In Joint) series is a dedicated rod lineup meticulously engineered to embody the exact specifications required for Bukkomi (heavy bottom bait) fishing. By transitioning to a put-in joint (Nami-tsugi) structure, we have unlocked the optimal taper balance and guide placement, achieving a highly idealized rod action.
DAIWA Technologies
HVF NANOPLUS
By reducing the amount of resin and increasing the density of carbon fibers, "High-Density HVF Carbon" becomes the ultimate material for rods that prioritize raw tenacity and strength. Combining Toray Industries' Nanoalloy® technology with DAIWA’s proprietary manufacturing methods has enabled even higher strength and lighter weight.
X45
To prevent blank twisting that occurs during casting, actioning, hooksetting, and fighting, years of research concluded that wrapping a "45°" bias cross carbon sheet (carbon fibers running diagonally at ±45°) in addition to the conventional 0° and 90° structures is optimal. The integration of X45 thoroughly suppresses twisting, yielding a dramatic leap in power, operability, and sensitivity.
V-JOINT
By utilizing a bias-structured carbon sheet at the joint sections, the rod achieves a beautiful, seamless bending curve under load, as if it were a one-piece rod. Compared to standard joints, it significantly boosts power, blank crispness, and recovery speed, delivering an ideal rod taper.
Product Details
The Strongest Class of Bukkomi Rods for Standing Fights
This is the ultimate, strongest-in-class put-in joint rod series designed exclusively for standing battles in Bukkomi fishing. It features a spinning model tuned for superior distance casting, and a conventional/overhead (Ryojiku) model designed with bait-presentation flexibility in mind. Configured in a travel-friendly 4-piece layout that is highly convenient for expeditions, this is an unprecedented powerhouse of a rod.
Large-Diameter Guide Layout for Long-Distance Casts with Complex Line Systems
Equipped with a large-diameter SiC ring guide configuration that allows stress-free, long-distance casting regardless of your line setup—from PE paired with ultra-thick shock leaders to heavy nylon monofilament. The frames are constructed from high-durability stainless steel. The put-in joint structure has been fully leveraged to position these guides at their absolute mathematical optima.
Grip Assembly Engineered for Heavy-Duty Power Fights
The butt section is tailored for high-torque battles with giant fish. It utilizes a highly trusted Fuji DPS pipe reel seat with a double-nut lock system to clamp large-capacity reels with rock-solid stability. Directly above the reel seat is a non-slip, textured ribbed front grip that simultaneously protects the blank (specifications vary slightly between spinning and conventional models). Additionally, the rod features a soft-touch butt cap (Soft-Touch Bottom) that prevents bruising during standing fights and is fully compatible with traditional Ishidai (Japanese Parrotfish) rod holders (pitons).
Tough Bright Coat (High-Visibility Tip)
The tip section is finished with high-visibility fluorescent paint, ensuring you never miss even the most subtle pre-bite vibrations.
Textured Ribbed Front Grip Provides a major advantage during high-torque leverage battles with monstrous fish.
Securing Fan-Shaped Safety Rope Ring Features a built-in safety ring that allows for one-touch attachment and detachment of safety ropes.
4-Piece Configuration
A highly convenient 4-piece design that ensures effortless packing and transportation during remote expeditions.
Item Lineup
Spinning Model
Description: Features a crisp, high-tension tip section optimized for fully loaded, long-distance casting, paired with a large-diameter guide layout. Beyond traditional Bukkomi bait-soaking tactics, this highly versatile power rod holds immense potential for heavy-duty float/feeder (Kago) fishing or live-bait drifting (Ovomase) targeting absolute monsters.
Conventional / Overhead Model (B)
Description: Features a highly pliable tip designed to facilitate natural bait inhalation without alerting the fish, paired with a multi-point layout of large-diameter, double-foot guides to eliminate line stress when running ultra-thick shock leaders. This is a dedicated power rod built to go toe-to-toe with the largest class of ocean giants in a standing fight.
