Original design rods from Sakaya.com
Hikibiki Rapids Cross Carbon Special Model.
Combines strength and beauty!
Cross carbon clear finish on entire butt
Each inner part has a cross carbon clear finish
Other internal parts unpainted
Grip non-slip processing
Unpainted Surfaces
*Since the blank is baked without any surface finishing, there may be some cracks or streaks. There may also be some scratches that occur during the joint processing. There is no problem with strength and durability. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to such things.
Slim (21.3mm at the tip of the rod)
It is a tip action that feels light and not heavy considering its weight. It is a well-balanced action that you can feel comfortable with. It is an incredible action at this price. It has the power to pull out a rapids that is generally priced at 200,000 to 300,000 yen.
Because the entire rod is highly elastic, there is no need to rely on an extremely thick tip for ease of removal or operability, and the 1.2mm high-sensitivity tip achieves high sensitivity without weakening the bait.
It can be used all year round.
High sensitivity 1.2mm tubular tip High elasticity No. 2 part specification Slim (inner diameter of the tip of the rod is about 21.3mm) ultra-thick design. I think there is no other model with better tone, power and sensitivity than this model in the same thickness, weight and price range. (Personal opinion) It may be able to catch fish over 27cm.
High sensitivity, high elasticity The thick tubular tip is hard and thin, achieving high sensitivity that is equivalent to the hardness and thinness of a thicker tip.

Product Details
I think that most Ayu rods are generally designed with a tip thickness of 21mm to 22mm. Why? Because this thickness allows you to achieve the necessary hardness even with cheaper materials. So what if you made it with the same material at 20mm? Even rods with tip-heavy designs that are popular with many people will have a body-heavy action. This is because the thinner it is, the less you can hide the material. It is easier to design a rod with expensive materials to achieve the desired action than a rod with cheaper materials to achieve the desired action. With a slender rod, the difference in materials is more humbly apparent in the design, so I think you can best experience the characteristics of the ultra-high elasticity material. Because it is slender, it reduces wind resistance. High sensitivity. And yet, the tip action is achieved with a different dimension of high elasticity material. The material used is Toray carbon material. At this price, we have achieved the same or better action as rods from top manufacturers with a list price of 200,000 to 300,000 yen.
