SHIMANO 25 Takomaster BB S175

The Unrivaled BB, Mastering Boat Octopus Fishing at a Higher Level

The Tako Master BB has been added to the Tako Master Series, which pursues the ultimate fun and gameplay of boat octopus fishing. With its lightweight construction and high-power X blank design, the rod offers excellent resistance to twisting, allowing for nimble jigging movements while providing the power to yank large octopuses off the seafloor.

The tip section features a glass solid that has been flexibly tuned to automatically induce octopus bites, enhancing sensitivity. The rod also introduces the X Seat Dual Gun Grip reel seat for the first time in the series, making it easier to maintain precise jigging action throughout the day. This design not only boosts hooking power but also reduces rod wobble during the fight, minimizing the chances of losing the catch.

With features inherited from higher-end models, the Tako Master BB is designed to impress both experienced anglers and beginners alike.

The go-to model for those unsure which to choose! This item serves as the core of the series. By tuning the tip for extra flexibility, it minimizes the movement distance of the jig, creating the perfect "pause" that encourages the octopus to bite

Key Features

Non-Slip, Hard to Lose Catch: Gang Grip and High Power X

The Tako Master BB features a Gang Grip that prevents slippage and ensures superior stability, allowing for powerful, non-stop retrieval without losing grip. This results in significantly fewer lost catches, especially with large octopuses. The grip is coated with a matte rubber to prevent slipping even when wet or slimy. Additionally, the High Power X structure of the blank enables smooth and nimble jigging while providing the strength to pull large octopuses off the seafloor.

A Naturally Induced Octopus Bite

A rod that's too soft, focusing solely on octopus bites, can make it hard to differentiate between a snag and an octopus. The key is balancing a sensitive tip and a firm backbone. To achieve this, the tip is finely tuned with a glass solid to automatically trigger octopus bites, while the main blank features a High Power X construction for added strength.

Model Specifications:

• S175: Offers a balanced action, making it ideal for beginners. It naturally mimics the movement of a bait, encouraging octopuses to latch on and hold tight.
• M175: Strikes a great balance between hand and visual sensitivity, and is excellent for discerning the bottom's shape. The softness of the tip is just right for more experienced anglers.
• MH175: Slightly firmer, providing superior sensitivity and easier movement of the bait. Recommended for areas with many snags or where chumming or bait is used.

Inherited Tako Master Heritage and Elegant Design

This rod inherits the high-class design of the Tako Master series, adorned with gold metal components that enhance its premium feel. The Side Slice EVA Rear Grip features a tapering design and a side slice to improve comfort and grip when held under the arm.

Features

X Seat Dual Gang Grip

Experience ease of handling during real-world use. The X Seat Dual Gang Grip keeps your wrist in a near-straight position, allowing you to hold and operate the rod and reel with minimal effort, reducing wrist fatigue. This grip enables you to enjoy the movements of jigging and hooking. Once you experience it, you won’t want to let go (compatible for both left and right-handed use).

Glass Solid Tip

A tip that excels in bite detection. It combines the right amount of stiffness and sensitivity, ensuring good bite sensitivity while preventing fine touches from being missed. The tip's sensitivity helps you detect even subtle nibbles.

Center-Cut 2-Piece

The rod is designed with a center-cut two-piece construction for better portability without sacrificing performance.
