MAJOR CRAFT CrossRide 7G XR7-1002MH

Designed for landing trophy-sized yellowtail amberjack lurking around offshore rocky reefs in raging currents, targeting yellowtail from unstable shore rocks, pursuing high-risk summer greater amberjack, waiting for rare strikes from Spanish mackerel along offshore breakwaters, or chasing migratory bonito in heavily pressured waters—when success depends on making the most of limited opportunities, the rod that draws out the angler’s strength, focus, and skill beyond their limits is the “CROSRIDE 7G.”

By leveraging the characteristics of TORAYCA® T1100G carbon—praised as one of the strongest carbons thanks to Nanoalloy® technology—this rod combines the expertise developed through the 5G series with high-modulus TORAYCA® M40X carbon. Constructed using Major Craft’s proprietary R360 manufacturing method, it successfully balances the opposing qualities of lightness and strength. The flexible blank created by the R360 structure absorbs lure weight effectively, while the unwavering rebound power of TORAYCA® T1100G generates outstanding casting distance.

The tip section, designed to improve water grip when using plugs such as diving pencils, moderates the stiffness of T1100G carbon to ensure solid dives even with stronger input. From the belly to the butt section, power is transmitted smoothly for effortless jig control, reducing angler fatigue during jerking while enabling precise lure action. The torque-rich butt, reinforced with TORAYCA® M40X, prevents the target from gaining the upper hand during the fight and supports lift through controlled rod loading. The result is a 7G blank that delivers high-level performance across the entire sequence of casting, lure manipulation, and fighting fish.

TORAYCA® T1100G Carbon / TORAYCA® M40X Carbon

These advanced carbons utilize Toray’s nano-level fiber structure control technology to achieve both high strength and high modulus. Packed with cutting-edge innovation, these materials are primarily used in structural components for the aerospace industry, where extreme performance is essential.

By aligning carbon fibers in multiple directions—straight (vertical), fade (right diagonal), draw (left diagonal), and side (horizontal)—the blank achieves exceptional lightness while maintaining power and tension. Unlike traditional surface carbon tape reinforcement, the blank itself is constructed from multi-axial carbon sheets. The carbon layout is optimized according to the role of each blank section, creating an ultimate structure capable of handling forces from every angle across 360 degrees.

You can fully enjoy the thrill of rock shore fishing and shore jigging, where you confront large pelagic species and encounter a wide variety of fish. The rod features an all-purpose action capable of handling everything from plugs to jigs. Experience its powerful, torque-rich construction that prevents fish from taking control—even in unstable fishing locations.

BLANK Design

An ultra-lightweight blank engineered for both flexibility and torque by using TORAYCA® T1100G carbon as the primary cross material, strategically blended with M40X carbon.

GUIDE Concept

Equipped with FUJI titanium-frame K-guides to reduce line tangling. The butt section features a reverse-set stainless steel MN guide for improved line release.

GRIP Concept

The grip is designed for a secure hold during casting and jerking, with a shape that is easy to grasp and efficiently transfers power. The front grip incorporates a side-cut design that prevents lateral wobble during fights while allowing a firm, confident grip.

REEL SEAT

Features the Fuji Titanium & Carbon-Reinforced Resin TCH reel seat, providing excellent stability through a unified feel when held. The design also significantly reduces nut loosening for a stress-free experience.

XR7-1002MH

The ideal model for targeting powerful species such as yellowtail and Spanish mackerel from rocky shores, as well as amberjack and greater amberjack from offshore breakwaters. It features a supple tip that enhances plug control and a responsive midsection that excels when working jigs. The highly sensitive blank delivers outstanding performance in shore slow jigging, allowing anglers to detect even the faintest bites. If you are aiming for a wide range of offshore reef targets, this model is an excellent choice.
