FEATURES
-
MPG 100% BLANK STRUCTURE
The main material of the blank is only MPG. The pure MPG bends widely and protect the line. The power can lift the fish up easily. The best structure to feel the features of MPG material directly.
-
GCMPG BLANK STRUCTURE
By placing a small amount of medium elasticity carbon inside the MPG tubular,
The “slim body and light weight”, bounce-back power at the important part of the fight, and “sharpness” of maneuverability are improved without impairing the function and feeling of MPG 100% tubular. Mainly selected for the models targeting medium size fishes and “komase”(chumming).
-
MPG 3D BLANK STRUCTURE
Low elasticity special glass fiber SFG (Straight Flex Glass) with extreme flexibility, MPG with outstanding tenacity, and carbon that makes speedy bounce-back, slim body and light weight. These 3 types of pre-preg are formed into a seamless tubular shape. This structure brings out the material characteristics to the utmost by combining three materials and creates an extreme fast action to the slim and light one-piece blank.
LINE UP
AKAMUTSU 195

・By adopting the GC MPG structure, this rod obtained the lightness, high maneuverability of the rig and the flexibility for less hook-out that are normally the factors conflicting with each other.
