This is a new baitcasting rod for trout fishing, produced by professional angler Jin Hiramoto.
Front cork has neodymium magnet to keep the lure hook. Fast tapered blank is thin and strong, the tip section is very sensitive.
Micro titanium frame guide is very light but strong, so it won’t interrupt casting, and micro guide frame place the line closer to blanks so the rod is more sensitive from information under water.

This is a new spinning rod for trout fishing, produced by professional angler Jin Hiramoto, as well as Tactist above.

Neodymium magnet is attached on the front cork to keep the lure safe and secure.

T.G. Slow 50g / 65g
This is full tungsten jig for slow pitch jigging.
Tungsten is heavier weigh than normal jig so can have heavy weight with smaller shape.

T.G. Slow can have multiple fall posture by your rod action. When falling down to the bottom it can get to the bottom speedy by diagonal position, but after jerking it can stay in the water by horizontal position with wobbling appeal.
Small shape, heavier weight but slow action, that’s this T.G. Slow.
