    Competition GT3 85 Unpainted Prototype

    The blank weighs an impressive 180g! Of that, 8g is the weight of the butt plug.

    Suitable for early to mid-season fish up to about 23cm

    This is a slim-tip, ultra-sensitive model that brings together all of the techniques needed for speedy removal and efficient capture.

    It is thinner and harder than other slim and lightweight rods, and as the tension increases it becomes more powerful and resilient. Thorough comparison with other slim and lightweight high-grade models

    Uses a laminated high elastic modulus variable design

    Section Core

    High elasticity, slim, wind resistant and highly sensitive. This rod was created by reviewing the design of existing models and making repeated improvements to prevent body vibration when the rod is subjected to tension close to its limit.

    Even the base of the rod is made of 60t carbon

    In order to fully utilize the power of the ultra-slim design that cannot be faked, we have made the base highly elastic. The highly elastic base is made of a fast taper design of No. 7, and the top part of the base is narrowed down by the No. 6, making it a thoroughly designed ultra-slim, highly sensitive blank design.

    Testimonials from our customers

    I think the GT3 is a really good rod. I use it in Gujo, and it can pull off even the biggest bait.

    It's lightweight, easy to use, and powerful.

    *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.

    This rod takes full advantage of the highly elastic material's characteristics to create a light, highly sensitive tip action rod. It is focused on lightness and ease of casting.

    Of course, it is highly sensitive. You can smoothly take in the sweetfish as if they are crawling on the surface of the water. Even though it is slender, it can stop the sweetfish and pull it out.

    It has an incredible action for this price. It has the power equivalent to a 200,000 to 300,000 yen rod for pulling through rapids. Because the entire rod is highly elastic, 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 21.3mm) 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 model. Grip processing and clear finish only on the tip.
