HGC-962HR / GP Gungnir

A super long rod of super long 9ft 6inch, which is a heretic yet unseen in the world of bass fishing, developed for anti-covering in punching and flipping.
Although it is difficult to handle due to the long length, there are many merits, and the approach from a position close to the top with an angle drastically reduces the stack by enabling the action of manipulating the lure vertically, and over the cover. It is possible to pull out the facing bus from above.
When the cover of the water surface is used as the fulcrum, the incident angle becomes large, so the burden on the line is greatly reduced, the sensitivity transmitted to the hand is not interrupted, the power loss of hooking is suppressed, and it can be handled more directly.
In addition, the distance to the point is expanded by the length of 9ft6inch, which does not give unnecessary pressure and enables the point capture that is one step deeper than ever before.
The effectiveness of this ultra-long length is that the tip is submerged in the water from the upward position to give a wider range control to the crank, minnow, etc., and the left and right swing width makes line mending easier and controls the trace line. The long cast that makes the best use of the length, the exchange through the bush and the cover brings great advantages to Ocapari.

 

Unchanging essence. Unwavering performance.1999.
Sidewinders appeared in the days when light rigs were the mainstream, where lighter and more sensitive rods were being pursued.
With ultra-high elasticity rods appearing one after another, as if going backwards in time, a torque-rich long rod with de-class power at that time cast the question, “What are you going to catch with this rod?” Was done. But our answer was clear.

“It’s a rod for catching big bass” …

In the heyday of the tournament, big bass hunting was only a style of some core anglers, but the sidewinder series that started with only three models of “slap shot”, “super border” and “outcross” is such a core. It was a rod that was created just for the Big Bus Hunter.
This specialized spec was because it was the only one that can handle the strong styles such as slow rolling of heavy spinner baits, rubber jig swimming, and big baits that are now standard.
For more than ten years since then, although there have been slight minor changes in cosmetics, the basic performance has not changed at all, so the rod has been loved.

In 2011, the new sidewinder, which was brushed up with sharpness and high rigidity that you can easily grasp without modifying the long-loved blank, also has a pedigree as the second generation sidewinder carrying the subname of Great Performer. Is firmly inherited.
