This series offers five models that cover a wide range of situations expected in ika-metal (squid metal) fishing. They allow anglers to smoothly perform the complete sequence of actions—lure, pause, and hook—enabling a fully engaging ika-metal experience.
“Special Solid Tip” for Amplified and Visible Bites
Equipped with a highly visible, ultra-flexible solid tip, this rod ensures even the slightest bites are clearly detected. The flexible tip section magnifies subtle signals, making them easy to read.
SPECIFICATIONS
Guide Setting Uses Fuji Arconite Guides (TOP guide: Stainless/SiC) for superior quality and design that minimizes line damage, ensuring reliable performance.
Spiral Guides The spiral guide system reduces line tangling even when slack occurs, improves visibility, and enables smooth, trouble-free handling.
Special Solid Tip The ultra-flexible tip visualizes subtle bites while providing strength to help prevent breakage during winding.
Note: This does not guarantee the rod will not break under load. Demonstration photos are for illustrative purposes only and should not be imitated. Because the material can hold bends, avoid leaving the tip bent for extended periods. If bending occurs, storing the rod tip without load for several hours to days may help relax the material.
Tip Markings for Enhanced Visibility Rods used with the tip raised feature yellow blanks with black and orange threads; rods used with the tip lowered feature black blanks with yellow and orange threads. The color coding improves visibility depending on the intended use.
Two-Piece Center-Cut Design Convenient 2-piece design for easy storage and transport.
GDRB-C510ML The Basic Standard for Ikametal
This is the standard model for Ikametal, optimized for sutte in the 20–30号 range. The high-visibility special solid tip clearly indicates bites, and the short length positions the tip closer to the angler for easier visual confirmation. Excellent maneuverability and balanced performance make this rod ideal for maintaining active jigging throughout a full night of fishing.
