Competition Cross Carbon Special 9m
Original rod from Sakaya.com
Competition Cross Carbon Special
Combines strength and beauty!
The entire butt section is finished in cross carbon clear, and all inner parts have a cross carbon clear finish.Other inner parts are unpainted, giving it a tone similar to that of a glass rod.
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.
Glassly 3 90 Comparison result: Not heavy to hold, more powerful than Glassly 3 90, slightly slimmer and more tip-heavy.
For 25cm class fishing (depends on skill and environment, so we cannot guarantee it). It has an exquisite balance that goes in as the load increases. It is a little heavy to hold due to its ultra-slim and thick design. It is a light and highly sensitive tip-action rod that makes full use of the highly elastic material characteristics. It is easy to use and pull out. Of course, it is highly sensitive. You can smoothly take in the sweetfish as if they are crawling on the surface of the water. It has a well-balanced action that makes it easy to swing.
It has an incredible tone for this price. It has the power equivalent to a 200,000 to 300,000 yen rod that can pull through rapids. The entire rod is highly elastic, so there is no need to rely on the thick tip for ease of pulling and operability, and the 1.2mm high sensitivity tip achieves high sensitivity without weakening the lure. 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 19mm) super 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)
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.
Unpainted (only the base is gripped and clear finished) Standard overall length: 9.0m Number of joints: 8 Storage dimensions: 1430mm Standard weight: 255g The center of gravity is designed to be closer to the handle, so it is not heavy to hold. (Blank weight) Tip diameter: 1.2mm Base diameter: 26mm Standard tip: 1.2mm tubular Weight load: Standard (number) 0-8 Suitable underwater line metal 0.02- Nylon 0.08-0.6 Rod bag included After-sales service available Made in Japan
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.
