Rod Concept:

  • Born with a sensational feeling, Basic Master has been loved for a long time. We reviewed the action and refined the parts. Like the previous series with "comfortable" swingability, stress-free action had been taken over from the previous series. It is a satisfying series for every level of anglers.

Features:

<Guides>
  • A SiC ring guide is used for the stripping guide.  As for the line class of #5 and above SiC ring guide is also used for the top guide to prevent deterioration due to wear.
<Reel Seat>
  • For #3 ~ #4 Line class a cigar type cork is used. Ritz type cork is adopted for #5 line class and above. Extension butt is adopted to #8 line class as a grip end.
