There are no noticeable scratches or rust, and it is a relatively clean rod. ANALYSTAR TACHIUO Sinker load: 60-120 gou Tenya load: 30-60 gou Suitable for deep water. When using a 40 gou sinker, it's a 9:1 action. When using a 100 gou sinker, it's a 7:3 action. A tip-heavy action that is suitable for deep water. Designed with operability in mind, allowing for precise lure manipulation and hooksets even in deep water. The action is perfect for both using aテンヤ (tenya) rig with action to catch fish, as well as for traditional rig fishing. The X45 bias wrap construction prevents twisting, achieving light operability and stable fighting performance. Also suitable for light Onikasago, Amadai, Inada, Tachiuo jigging, light jigging, Inchiku, etc. Tachiuo fishing is popular in various fields, including Tokyo Bay and Osaka Bay. In particular, "Tenbin Tachiuo" using a single-arm rig and bait is popular in Tokyo Bay, Suruga Bay, and Ise Bay, and is a fishing method that can be used anywhere Tachiuo can be caught by jigging or tenya. Tenbin Tachiuo fishing is one of the boat fishing methods that uses the widest range of sinker weights, from 30 gou in shallow water to 120 gou in deep water. Since the appropriate sinker weight varies depending on the season and field, it is necessary to choose a rod that can withstand the load. Therefore, the "Analyst Tachiuo," a dedicated model for Tenbin Tachiuo fishing, is available in three models. The action is designed specifically for Tenbin Tachiuo, allowing for sharp jerks all day long, and automatically hooking the fish if you continue to jerk after getting a bite. - MH-180 Sinker load: 60-120 gou. This rod is for mid-deep to deep water. This rod is best for fast currents in mid-deep water requiring 80 gou or more, or for deep water where the indicated depth is over 100m. You might imagine deep-water Tachiuo rods to be bulky and heavy, but this rod weighs only 118g thanks to lightweight parts and materials like the Air Sensor Seat, making it easy to handle even when jerking all day in deep water without fatigue. In actual fishing, I used it with an 80 gou sinker in 100m deep water, and the belly to butt section was very strong and powerful, allowing me to move the rig sharply even in deep water. I feel it is also effective for "hook-setting" type fishing where you make fine, sharp jerks at any depth, not just the indicated depth. We highly recommend this series to those who want to take their Tenbin Tachiuo fishing to the next level. #Kyoku-ei #Sabre Master
