| Not Just About Stiffness

The KTX78B is not designed based on conventional giant/big bait rods but is built around a blank design typically used for offshore and rock shore fishing.
This results in a blank that is not simply stiff but enhances casting distance for giant and big baits while also enabling a wide range of lure actions—perfectly suited for the modern style of giant/big bait fishing.

By adopting a blank concept derived from saltwater game, it becomes possible to battle not only monster-sized bass but also a wide range of large fish species.
In other words, the KTX78B is not just a giant bait rod but one with capabilities that transcend that category.
Designed with balance in mind, it feels lighter in hand than its listed weight.
Instead of simply adding counterweights, ultimate balance was achieved by extending the grip end and fine-tuning the EVA length and density.

Length-Adjustable Advantage for Giant Baits
To seize limited opportunities, not only must one keep casting, but also maintain focus on each cast—an essential skill.
Length variability supports this by adapting to unpredictable chances.
The KTX83B is a two-length rod suitable for long casts from shore as well as offshore casting.

Switching from 78B to 83B transforms it into an entirely different rod. Adding a butt section increases blank power and enhances long-distance casting performance.
In situations like high platforms or rocky shores where you can’t stand close to the water, the adjustable length becomes a strong ally for anglers.

The KTX83B is designed to target species ranging from black bass and seabass to yellowtail, yellowfin tuna, and GT.
The blanks are also suitable for bait fishing on rocky shores or abroad.


Blank Construction Focus
In developing the KTX78B, the goal wasn’t merely to build a giant big bait rod.
Instead, development began with strong, resilient blanks used for offshore and rock shore applications.
The reason: to avoid the impression of being “just stiff” or “like a stick.”

However, simply using offshore/rock shore blanks would reduce big bait maneuverability.
Thus, the current KTX78B incorporates resilience, a core firmness, and the lightness required for precise control—all realized at a high level.

This blank design allows the rod to be used not only for one style or target fish but adapts to various techniques and species, making it a versatile giant big bait rod suitable for anglers with diverse styles.

Focused End Grip Design
The grip end measures 450mm—an optimal length for overall rod balance.
It enables strong leverage when casting giant baits and, paired with the blank’s resilience, allows for easy, light casting.
It’s also a convenient length for pumping during fights with large fish such as bluefish and GT.
