DEPS Gain Element GE-74HRF Power Versatile Element

Enhanced Accuracy.
Without a precise approach, even the visible outcome — a catch — can end as nothing more than a pipe dream. The “Gain Element” rod combines enhanced accuracy with delicate operability to bring results — actual catches — within reach.
Even with casting skills, if the approach to a pinpoint spot lacks precision, “missed cast = no catch.” And even if the cast lands perfectly, if the lure’s action is compromised in the productive zone, the result still won’t follow.
The “Gain Element” supports the angler’s heightened concentration with high-performance rod design, allowing for full expression of lure performance even at short distances. Its refined sensitivity and control elevate the angler to the next level.

■ GRIP & REEL SEAT

The baitcasting models feature a uniquely shaped grip with a narrowed section that allows you to apply power with your ring and pinky fingers, greatly contributing to casting performance by enabling snap casts.
The spinning models use a compact grip that fits comfortably in hand and provides a secure hold. Both types are designed for high-level sensitivity and fine control without requiring excessive force.

■ SEPARATE GRIP

The separate grip design contributes significantly to weight reduction, providing a light and agile feel even after a full day of fishing.
The shape is carefully designed for optimal support when using both hands, making palming easy and natural.

■ GUIDE SETTING / BAITCASTING MODEL

The baitcasting models are equipped with small-diameter guides placed closer to the reel seat. This setup suppresses unnecessary line vibration, enhances casting accuracy, improves sensitivity for detecting short bites, and efficiently transmits hooking power — ensuring solid hookups.
