Key Feature
The Engetsu SS series has been further refined for even greater flexibility and ease of use, elevating its core performance to new heights. Known for its balance of practical fishing performance and cost-effectiveness, it has long been favored by anglers from beginners to experts. The updated model enhances flexibility, resilience, and bite resistance, while also improving the weight balance and handling ease, making it more comfortable and versatile.
This series includes three styles and four types: Nose Action (Full Solid/Solid Tip), Hook Action, and Casting. The Solid Tip models have been redesigned for improved weight balance and ease of handling, with a focus on clarity in detecting changes such as the touch of a fish.
Solid Tip Models
Full Solid:
Smooth, seamless bending, with excellent cushioning and resilience, even under heavy tension. The newly added High Power X Full Solid provides even greater durability, making it perfect for fighting big fish.
Solid Tip:
The shorter 2-inch tip reduces weight, ensuring easy handling. It enhances sensitivity and allows for better detection of changes like bites and bottom contact. The solid tip's sturdy back helps hook fish even with their tough jaws.
Hook Action
With a highly sensitive solid tip, this action focuses on actively "hooking" the fish. The 6'6" design keeps power for a strong hookset while being responsive enough to handle the strong pulls of a big fish. It’s also ideal for the Fall Tai-Raba technique, clearly detecting bites and enabling quick hook sets.
Casting Action
For targeting untouched areas, the Casting series features a 6'4" length, designed for efficient lateral exploration of fish layers. This series uses a Soft Tube Top, offering sensitivity and lightweight casting while absorbing bites and ensuring fish are hooked.
X Seat Technical Gun Grip
The X Seat Technical Gun Grip now includes a front trigger for improved handling. This design offers better palmability, reducing wrist strain and allowing for comfortable, stable operation. Whether using the rod for steady retrieval or more active casting, this grip provides enhanced ease of use, making it ideal for Tai-Raba fishing.
FEATURE
