The concept of game rods is to be a series that allows you to select the best one for your target without limiting it to a specific one, depending on the water depth, the size of the fish you're targeting, and your fishing method. For this reason, each item is labeled with three numbers: 64, 73, or 82, which represent the three action types; M, MH, or H, which represent the strength; and a number representing the length. For example, the 73MH230 indicates a 7:3 action rod with medium MH strength, and a length of 2.3m.

Not only is it designed for practical fishing, but even though it's an entry-level model, no effort has been spared on the exterior or cosmetic details. The "light and airy LIGHT worldview" is highlighted by the white and glitter blanks, and is further accentuated by the metal rings placed in various places. Other features include a newly designed nut ring that's easy to tighten, and a side-slice EVA rear grip that's easy to hold in your armpit, all of which contribute to a high-quality feel that exceeds that of a BB.

The concept of a game rod is to lure the fish by hand and hook it as you wish, but comfortable operability is also essential. For this reason, it is common to actively operate the rod by hand. However, this can put a lot of strain on the wrist, so by adopting the X-Seat Dual Gun Grip, which is common to both left and right sides, it reduces the strain on the wrist and contributes to improved luring performance. The rod's texture has also been greatly improved.

The rod is equipped with a K guide (SiC ring guide at the tip) that has improved trouble-free performance. This not only improves functionality but also plays a major role in improving the overall image of the rod.

My first impression of the feel, appearance, and overall feel was, "Is this really a BB?" This time, it uses a dual gun grip, which makes it easier to operate when luring or fighting. It can be held more stably, reducing fatigue, especially during demanding fishing or when luring with one hand. It's not designed for right-handed or left-handed use, so if you get tired, you can hold it with the other hand. This is the biggest change.

It uses K guides, which improves both appearance and performance. A luxurious feel is always better, isn't it? It's also easy to remove tangled lines, so it's good for those who aren't used to it. It's been carefully finished in a way that you can grow attached to, and it's great that it now comes with a warranty. Everyone is careless sometimes.

The blank itself is good, inheriting the tone of the light game series. I've used it for both groundfish fishing and light live bait fishing, and the feel is comparable to that of higher-end models. It's not a model targeted at advanced anglers, but it's perfect for big-game anglers who occasionally target tilefish or hairtails. With over 10 items, it's possible to handle light mid-deep fishing, as well as flathead and Japanese whiting. There are a variety of options with the same 7:3 tone, so it can cover almost all coastal fishing.
