Capture through heavy cover. Handle big baits with ease.
A nimble, super-class heavy hitter who controls the power game.

 

Black Rose is a heavy hitter with a super-class power and torque that goes against the nimbleness of the swing, which is hard to imagine from the specs of 71H+, and the nimble operability.

When shooting from cover, it is more advantageous to slide the lure in from below because the process from hooking to landing is less likely to be interfered with by obstacles, but there are some bass that cannot be caught unless you approach the lure from over or above the cover. There are many situations in which you can find yourself. In order to penetrate and catch the cover where wary big fish hide, such as the deepest part of the bush with complicated branches, floating wood chips mixed with driftwood, water chestnut algae, and heavy grass that stretches to the surface of the water.

Accurately introduce rubber jigs, Texas rigs, leaderless down shots, etc. to attract detailed bait. Even when the line interferes with the cover, you can clearly sense the difference between the feeling of the sinker hitting a branch and the feeling of the bass sucking the lure, and even when there is line slack, you can shoot a hook into the hard jaw of a big bass. Then, he instantly dragged it over the cover and brought it to the landing with a twist.

Its ability is effective not only for hitting heavy cover directly, but also for monster hunting with big lures. Manipulate the lure as intended, make the finicky big bass open its mouth, and after hooking it, do not give the opponent the initiative and twist it by dodging the violent lunge. Orion Black Rose is a rod that controls the power game with ease and power.

Black Rose told by Toshifumi Kikumoto
Demonstrates amazing ability to respond to everything from high specific gravity no sinkers to big baits and giant baits.

The Black Rose was initially developed as a hitting type, but as field tests progressed, it showed amazing ability to respond not only to shooting objects but also to big baits and giant baits, and we realized the greatness of its hidden power. became.

Despite the 71H+ being slender and shorter than a typical big bait rod, it can easily swing a 3.7oz class (107g) Balam 245 and send it far away. And not only that, but even the 6oz class (168g) Balam 300 can easily cast. Since you can fly accurately with a low trajectory without using any force, it will open up new possibilities for big baits and giant baits, such as conquering overhangs with giant baits that were difficult until now.

An additional advantage is that it greatly reduces the physical effort of eight trapping, which is physically taxing to do with a regular big bait rod. Physically, it feels less than half, or even one-third, of what it used to be. If I had to say it, I think it would be a bit of a disadvantage for high-deck boats because the eight trap is closer to the boat. However, this is not a big concern on rental boats or low-deck aluminum boats, so once you use this comfort, sharp rod work, and accurate lure control, you will become addicted.

In addition to the super-gravity Balam, it goes without saying that you can cast big baits such as Royal Flush , Temper Flash , Noisy Ducks , and Brim Slide with ease, and the accuracy is improved, and maneuverability such as jerking is extremely smooth.

Of course, it is also great for cover fishing. In the reservoir, a Texas rig with a 3/8 to 1/2 oz sinker is used with a 20-pound Magic Hard R for floating cover or the deepest part of a heavy cover, and in the Kasumigaura water system, where a lighter weight is often used for cover shooting, the same 20-pound Magic Hard is used. It is often used in combination with R and Light Texas.

In addition, during field tests, professional staff from around the country brought out the potential of Black Rose in various ways. Hideo Ebihara uses an edge breaker and no sinker backslide setting. Also, Mamoru Okita uses PE line for all types of frogs such as kicker frogs .

And Satan Shimada is used as the main rod of Balam 245. We continue to catch big bass at Ikehara Dam and Lake Sagami, including landing a 3.5kg big bass.

Furthermore, Kenji Uchida went monster hunting in Lake Biwa with a brim slide jerk and a reaction football jig . Staff at the Onga River have received reports of big bass fishing with 12-inch bowworm

Neko rigs. The appeal of the Orion Black Rose is that it can easily handle lures with an unimaginable wide range of weights, from high-density worms without sinkers to giant baits of over 6oz.

    Emphasizing gripping performance, operability, and sensitivity, we have adopted a slender and lightweight blank-touch Fuji ECS reel seat.
  • ■ Grip design (center/rear)
    Separate type that supports casting from all directions and pursues operability and weight reduction.

    Both the center grip and rear grip are made of high-hardness EVA, achieving the excellent durability unique to EVA material and the direct feel of operation due to the hard material.
