FISHMAN BC4 Power Grip Edition 5.10LH

The Legend Reborn: Introducing the "POWER GRIPZ EDITION" BC4 5.10 Series

The powerhouse 4-piece travel rod series gets a massive model change with the introduction of the Power Gripz Edition. Despite being a multi-piece travel rod, it bends dynamically from the mid-section under load and features a lightning-fast recovery speed. This action makes it incredibly easy to load the rod for explosive, bullet-like casting distance while providing a level of fish-cushioning and control that is in a class of its own.

Key Design Changes (#4 Grip Section)

The entire #4 grip section has been completely redesigned from the ground up to maximize durability, slip resistance, and comfort during intense encounters with trophy fish.

1. Power Grip

   True to its subtitle, a specialized rubber grip is wrapped over the #4 butt section. This provides exceptional slip resistance and allows you to firmly squeeze the rod to exert maximum leverage when battling strong fish.

2. Reel Seat

   Adopts a blank-touch reel seat design. The body of the seat has been made slimmer, making it much more natural and comfortable to wrap your hand around.

3. Foregrip / Under-Trigger Grip

   Transitioned to a full-EVA construction for a seamless, comfortable hold.

4. End Grip

   Upgraded to a hybrid of rubberized cork (assembled cork) and EVA. Rubberized cork was chosen for its high coefficient of friction (unmatched slip resistance), comfortable elasticity, and superior long-term durability.

Blank Performance & Power Profile

The Ultimate Multi-Piece Weapon for the Globetrotting Angler

With a highly compact pack length of just 49 cm, this rod is a heavy-duty 4-piece powerhouse designed specifically for the traveling explorer.

Our goal was to resolve a massive contradiction in a short-length travel rod: the ability to execute precise pinpoint casts with relatively light 7 to 9 cm minnows in narrow wetland creeks or jungle rivers (roughly 30 meters wide), while possessing a stout, uncompromising butt section to forcefully drag wall-hanging lunkers out of dense structure.

By miraculously fusing these seemingly incompatible traits—pinpoint accuracy, high-sensitivity 4-axis carbon, a powerful butt, and a deeply-bending, shock-absorbing mid-section—we have opened up a vast new world of fishing environments and species.

Furthermore, despite its short 5'10" length, the blank's recovery speed generates unbelievable casting distance. It is the absolute ultimate all-rounder for versatile shore casting, wading mid-sized rivers, chasing exotic monster fish worldwide, or target-casting for boat seabass.

Important Customer Notices

For Current BC4 5.10 Series Owners: Grip-Only Upgrades

The specifications for the #1, #2, and #3 sections of the new model remain identical to the previous BC4 5.10 series. Therefore, current owners can upgrade to the POWER GRIPZ EDITION simply by purchasing the new #4 grip section and combining it with their existing #1–#3 sections.

• Individual #4 grip parts sales will begin as soon as preparation is complete following the official launch of the complete rod.
• Pricing: This replacement is not covered under warranty. The #4 grip will be sold as a standalone part for 25,000 JPY (plus tax).
• Please note that advanced reservations for the standalone grip section are not accepted.

Warning: Prevent Joint Loosening

Due to the physical nature of multi-piece travel rods, joints can naturally loosen after repeated casting. Casting with loose joints can cause severe damage or rod breakage.

• Recommendation: We highly recommend applying Ferrule Wax to the joints. This prevents sections from slipping off during casting, blocks water intrusion, and prevents the joints from binding/seizing up.
• Best Practice: Always check that all joints are securely seated after your first few casts, and regularly throughout your session.
