Rod Philosophy

• Developed for anglers who want to challenge monster-class bluefin tuna without requiring extreme physical strength.
• Blanks are engineered to flex and absorb energy, allowing smooth handling of large fish while maintaining casting precision and distance.
• Balanced blank design reduces fatigue and optimizes lift-up power during fights.

Performance Highlights

• Capable of handling 240 kg-class fish in 45 minutes without over-stressing the rod or the angler.
• Flexible and resilient blank reduces physical strain, outperforming heavier traditional bluefin rods for lighter or less muscular anglers.
• Specifically designed for PE 10–15 lines, providing ample rod power and strength for heavy offshore setups.

Technical Details

• Blanks: Engineered for smooth energy transfer, precise casting, and fatigue reduction.
• Guide System: RV guides on the butt section maximize casting distance and blank efficiency.
• Reel Seat: Fuji-made, with reinforcement recommended via bandaging for high-load fights.
• Optimal Lure/Target Setup: Designed for large offshore fish such as bluefin tuna; recommended reels are 20000 series, with 30000 series compatible but potentially reducing casting distance.

Design Insight

• Multi-piece engineering allows fine-tuned sectional design, giving the 7 ft rod sufficient distance, lift power, and balance.
• Developed over multiple prototypes with lengths ranging from 6 ft to 7.6 ft; the 7 ft model achieved the best compromise between power, distance, and angler comfort.
• Inspired by strength and resilience, its name comes from Naraen Kengo, one of the powerful guardian statues at Kyoto’s Sanjusangen-do, reflecting the rod’s robust and reliable character.

This rod is ideal for:

• First-time bluefin tuna anglers looking for a manageable rod.
• Anglers dissatisfied with other monster-class tuna rods, seeking shorter, highly controllable options.
• Anyone wanting a high-performance multi-piece rod that balances portability, power, and control for extreme offshore fishing.
