ROD CONCEPT

<SPIKE Yellow Tail>
  • Designed for catching yellow tail
  • Hard butt and flexible tip, ensuring resistance to power of big fish
  • KW Guide* used at the top section
    * Newly-developed double-foot guides with slant shaped frame, preventing line tangle
    • SK732-50YT: Length comfortable for fishing at center of shared ship, easy to cast lures upward
    • SK802-50YT: For longer casting and enabling anglers to enjoy powerful fishing from leading edge of fishing seat
<SPIKE TUNA>
  • Effective for fishing tuna inshore with some special technique
  • Minimizing stress applied while fishing
  • Tip allowing for the longest casting of lightweight lures
  • Rod balance to surely get hooked fish
  • Very strong tip-top guide for Ocean fishing
    • Standard models: (SK762-80 TUNA, SK862-80 TUNA)
      Powerful model with flexibility coming from its main material: lower modulus graphite material
    • H-class models (SK802H-80 TUNA, SK862H-80 TUNA)
      Tensile/strong at whole areas, which offers shape rod action effective for fighting with giant tuna
<SPIKE GT>
  • Designed for giant trevally (GT) fishing at inshore and offshore
  • Ensuring longer casting even for big GT lures
  • Rod blank being more tensile / stronger than TUNA model and outstanding flexibility
  • Made from medium/lower modulus graphite composite material, helping anglers to fight with GT over 40kg
  • Very strong tip-top guide for Ocean fishing
