issei has developed the "Caramel Shad" shad tail worm, originally designed for bass fishing, but now enhanced for use in saltwater. The Issei original tail provides a powerful, high-pitched action that appeals strongly to fish eaters such as rockfish. The Caramel Shad is available in 3.5in and 4in sizes, and comes in various colors. It is recommended to use with the Root Fish Ball (multi-offset) or the Swimming Root Fish Ball hooks. The prices range from ¥720 to ¥810 (excluding tax). Each color option has its own JAN code.
Daiwa's new ZILLION TW HD baitcasting reel is designed for saltwater use. It features HYPERDRIVE DIGIGEAR with a high-durability copper alloy pinion gear for smooth and strong rotation, and the HYPER ARMED HOUSING (FULL AL) provides compact yet sturdy body rigidity. The reel is equipped with a new Φ34mm G1 Juralmin ultra-high-precision MAG-Z BOOST spool for excellent long casting performance. The MAGFORCE-Z BOOST setting maximizes casting distance by avoiding backlash and achieving a smooth trajectory. The TWS system reduces resistance for less backlash and improved control. The UTD drag ensures smooth and powerful drag performance. The G1 Juralmin spool is lightweight and maintains excellent rigidity, allowing for high-speed rotation. The Zero Shaft design eliminates unnecessary resistance, resulting in optimal spool rotation. The Zero Adjuster allows for precise adjustability before fishing, ensuring a comfortable and error-free experience. The drag click system provides audible feedback during line retrieval. The ZILLION TW HD reel is known for its durability even under heavy use, and the enhanced ZILLION TW HD1000 model is designed for even tougher conditions.
