Some dedications to our lure rods...

・Plasma Titanium Guide

Our original "Plasma Titanium Guide" was developed in 2008 by us.  This shinny coating technology has created a sensation among anglers in Japan since then.  It changes from blue to purple depending on angles just like a brilliant sunset of cobalt blue beach.  

・Skeleton Guide Threads & Staring Silver Tip-Top

Invisible guide thread???  As shown below pictures, guide foots can be seen from underneath of guide threads.  This is called, "Skeleton guide threads,".  Since guide threads are invisible, it looks like footprints of blue guides marked on one black (or other colors) path of blanks.  And, at the end of this path, there is what we call "Staring Silver Tip-Top" guide (shown in a blue circle on the large picture).  Titanium top guide is fixed with a combination of gold and silver threads.  Being counter-colored from all other blue "Plasma Titanium Guides", this shinny "Staring Silver Tip-Top" guide stands out ideally.  The sparkling top guide, therefore, is so effective in finding the tip of the first section especially on rainy days or at shady spots.  

・P.T.G. mainly shines cobalt blue.

・P.T.G. changes to shine more purple.

・Skeleton Guide Thread (visible guide foot).

・Staring Silver Tip-Top & Nickel Silver Winding Check (shown in the blue circle) & Hook keeper (shown in the green circle).

In the below large picture, it shows "Staring Silver Tip-Top" and "Nickel Silver Winding Check & Hook keeper".  We focus on the contrast while designing fishing rods to support anglers visually as well.  Winding check and hook keeper may not be concerned by some rod makers, but we do care much for the small details to pursuit the excellent quality.
