The Cross Mission was released in 2020 as a multi-concept rod for casual offshore fishing. Its powerful action and power that can handle anything have been highly praised since its release, and it has been used in a variety of situations, including tairaba (sea bream) fishing and light jigging.
Six years have passed since then, and offshore fishing has become more diverse in each region. Now, more anglers are not just using recreational fishing boats, but are also rowing out to sea on their own boats. To keep up with the latest offshore fishing scenes, the Cross Mission has undergone a complete model change and been upgraded to the Cross Mission SS. The know-how cultivated with the higher-end Cross Mission XR has been generously applied to this rod, resulting in an easy-to-use rod that delivers excellent performance.
While the previous model was a center-cut two-piece rod, the Cross Mission SS inherits the tip switch system used in the XR and has evolved into an unconventional three-piece design with a grip joint. The versatility of this rod, which can be used for two purposes in one, allows you to switch between solid and tubular tips depending on your target and fishing style. To accommodate any situation, the lineup includes the frequently used ML, M, and MH models for both baitcasting and spinning. You can choose the rod that best suits your style and target. The MH model has also been added to the spinning model, making it suitable for bluefish, blade jigging, and hitotsu-tenya fishing. The ML Power model is also excellent for light hairtail tenya fishing, making it an all-around rod that can be used for any type of fishing.
The solid tip has evolved from the "Toughtech Alpha" to the even stronger "Toughtech Infinity." It clearly detects the wriggling bite of squid, and is suitable for tip-based squid fishing and metal squid jigs, regardless of field conditions, water depth, or the type of squid or squid jig you use. The baitcasting model features an advanced "Technical Holding Seat" that is designed for ease of use in light offshore fishing. It provides an excellent sense of unity when gripping the reel, making it a perfect match for small baitcasting reels.
For those who are fans of the previous model, adding an SS with a different power level will enable you to handle an even wider range of fishing. Simply changing the tip changes the rod's characteristics, making it the perfect rod for boat anglers who are limited in the tackle they can carry, especially for SUPs and kayaks where space is limited. The rods are all uniformly 6 feet 6 inches long. Since the only difference is power, you won't have to worry about choosing a model, and you'll feel comfortable switching between them. Enjoy catching a variety of fish with this latest all-purpose rod. The Cross Mission SS is truly a true all-rounder rod.
