MEGABASS Cookai Gulf CKG-53LS

The COOKAI GULF CKG-72MS is a power-playing shaft that is suitable for boat seabass games, black sea bream, and light bluefish games such as Japanese pond smelt and sago mackerel that can often be targeted in the same areas. This is a medium-class multi-purpose rod built for bottom rockfish games using soft lures, while also preserving the ability to target fish species that roam the same waters for a more universal approach. 5D Graphite System powers long distance castability of light to medium weight lures with an intuitive bend and minimal blank shake after the cast. The blank features a supple tip and belly section which are highly responsive to angler input and absorb hard charging targets to keep hooks securely pinned. This is a crisp and deceptively strong shaft with unique flexibility for intuitive handling.

TECHNOLOGY

DESTROYER 5-D GRAPHITE SYSTEM Version-S

The 5D Graphite System Version-S is an adaptation of the shaft technology pioneered by the Destroyer P5, which set a new standard in bass rod angling around the globe.
As the name implies, five prepreg cutting parts, each specializing in one of the five shaft elements (vertical, horizontal, diagonal, elongation, and elasticity), are combined as if they were puzzle pieces and pressed together into one shaft. By reducing the overlapping of the prepreg, we have succeeded in creating an overwhelmingly lightweight shaft with superb action and astonishing strength.
5D construction gets to the essence of the rod building ideal, eliminating un-needed graphite layers and overlap for maximum rod performance with minimum material usage, allowing COOKAI to bring you to new heights of the saltwater game.

ITO ENGINEERING HEAD LOCKING SYSTEM (PAT.P)

The head locking structure is machined from a solid aluminum block, optimized for rigidity to engage powerful targets in the sea. When fitted with a reel, it improves the rigidity of the butt section of the blank as well.
Light bites and subtle changes in lure action are transmitted from rod tip to reel seat with minimal loss of vibration, sending vital information to the angler's hands. The angler's senses are connected to the rod shaft in a direct manner, pursuing a new sense of equipment integration.

ITO ERGONOMIC-CONTACT SHEET(D.PAT.P)

3D ergonomic design based on ITO Engineering's own test data provides an agile grip and comfortably manages the extreme forces generated by the high-impact shaft in aggressive casting maneuvers.
Allows for confident controllability, improved feel for minnows and jigs, and the kind of intuitive performance required for bottom fishing. Encourages direct contact with the exposed blanks, which increases the resolution of sensitivity for long casting contact and bottom fishing.

TITANIUM LIGHT FRAME/SiC-S GUIDE

All models are equipped with ultra-lightweight and high-strength titanium frame SiC-S guides carefully arranged to maximize the potential of Megabass' unique 5D construction.
We have introduced the ideal solution at this point in time, which is derived from test data spanning long distance castability, lure controllability, directability (sensitivity), line management, and stress dispersion of load capacity from 0°to 130° during the fight. This is the latest guide system.
