A Dedicated Rod for Trevally (Mekki) and Barracuda (Kamasu)

Engineered for Ultimate Sensitivity and Control

The highest priority in development was sensitivity during plug fishing.
Even during aggressive twitching, the rod allows you to clearly feel the plug’s action (vibration) in your hand, while also detecting subtle changes in lure movement when a target begins to follow.

Rather than simply pursuing higher-modulus materials, this rod was designed to enhance sensitivity and reduce weight through a more balanced approach.

As a result, it makes it extremely easy to control twitch intervals, timing, and rhythm — delivering a plugging model that prevents the lure from being “pulled away” or deflected during bites.

BL-681L/MK

6ft 8in, 1-piece model with handle offset design.

This rod excels in handling lightweight plugs while also offering versatility for light jighead fishing styles. Although rated as light power, its smooth torque distribution provides enough strength to handle unexpected larger fish with confidence.

Detailed Specifications

Blank

Constructed primarily from 24t carbon.
Rather than using ultra-high modulus materials, it is specifically engineered to make twitch intervals, timing, and rhythm easier to control.

Matte finish except for the butt section.
Areas where fingers rest during minnow twitching and retrieving are treated with a non-slip finish to prevent slipping.

Grip

661ML/MK and 681L/MK feature detachable grips.
The front grip is intentionally kept extremely short to allow direct finger contact with the blank during minnow operation, achieving an ideal control-oriented shape.

Ferrule

BL-702ML/MK only: 2-piece construction with woven graphite spigot ferrule for superior strength and resistance to loosening.

Guides

Fuji guide setting:

• The first two guides from the butt are KLH + KLM (stainless steel frame, S-type SiC rings).
• All remaining guides are small-diameter titanium frame K-guides (S-type SiC rings).

This configuration significantly reduces line trouble when using ultra-thin PE lines while also contributing to weight reduction and enhanced sensitivity.

Design Accents

Metal rings feature a blue-based theme.
The grip end uses durable, chip-resistant EVA material.
