Game rods require versatility, lightness, and maneuverability. Therefore, lightweight carbon materials are typically used in this field. While carbon offers exceptional material performance in terms of lightness, its capacity is often limited, often resulting in a lack of versatility. However, rods made of standard glass materials, often chosen to expand capacity, lose lightness and maneuverability. MPG is a special glass material. It bends far more than carbon and has good resilience, making it strong. In addition to these material characteristics, the tubular construction results in a lightweight finish, which directly translates to improved sensitivity. It is the perfect material for game rods. The 64 FULL ARMED and 73 FULL ARMED blanks are constructed entirely of MPG material, which maximizes their action. They bend fully in response to the load applied to the rod. The MPG material's lightness and maneuverability are emphasized, and its supple, extreme bending allows for the use of thinner line, leading to a wider range of gameplay possibilities. Rather than using an extreme 8:2 action, the GC MPG blank provides greater control and a smoother action than the 8:2 action. This results in enhanced visual sensitivity, lightness, and high maneuverability. *The DeckStick series does not come with aluminum handles. To use them, please purchase the dedicated aluminum handles NLB-16S/NLB16 Long. *When the NLB-16 Long is installed, the overall length of each rod will be increased by 5cm. *The NLB-16S/NLB16 Long comes standard with a chloroprene handle cover that can be used with the reel attached. *The overall length, weight, and L1 length listed in the specifications table are for when the handle (NLB-16S) is installed. By gaining a level of power, this rod boasts the second-highest power despite its 230cm length, making it easier to work with groundbait and target. Despite its power, the unique flexibility of the MPG material makes it more than just a stiff rod; it bends fully when fighting with a target, lifting the fish up. This flexibility and power make it ideal for targeting yellowtail and red sea bream using ground bait, bluefish using drop casting, and single-sinker fishing.
