A light rig all-rounder that can be freely manipulated according to the user’s will.
“Are you really holding the bottom?” “Is the shaking action being transmitted to the lure?” This will change the way you fish with ultra-light rigs, which you used to worry about.
The solid tip spin free will allows you to freely manipulate the light rig according to the user’s intention with the sensing and operating power that allows you to practice each movement with confidence. An all-rounder light rig with an easy-to-use, tubular-like feel.
Advantages of short solid tip × Torayca® T1100G small diameter tubular
The factors that determine its ability are hidden in the combination of a short solid tip and slender tubular blanks.
▪Light weight and high
balance In order to keep the “weight increase” and “easiness of bending” that come from the characteristics of solid to an appropriate level, the solid tip is shortened. Eliminates the weight and dullness of the tip that affect precise operation.
balance In order to keep the “weight increase” and “easiness of bending” that come from the characteristics of solid to an appropriate level, the solid tip is shortened. Eliminates the weight and dullness of the tip that affect precise operation.
The tubular part from the belly that supports the solid body to the bat uses high-strength, high-elastic carbon “Torayca® T1100G” as the main cloth, and the butt part is reinforced with 40 ton carbon and Quattro woven cloth. And the slim design makes it lightweight.
▪Easy-to-handle natural bend curve
However, the reason why the blanks were designed to have a small diameter was not just to reduce weight. As the tubular part gets thicker, the joint with the solid becomes thicker and harder, resulting in an unnatural bend, so it is also designed to have a small diameter to achieve a natural bend curve that is easy to handle.

Thinness for smooth energy transfer from tip to berry. “Trading Card® T1100G” is for that purpose. Even though it is thin, it can ensure sufficient strength.
▪It is tensioned when operating and bends when casting.The
material called “Trading Card® T1100G” has a unique property of being “tensioned but bendable”, so it can be used for hang-offs and berries with just the right amount of tension during operation. While supporting techniques such as escape action, it bends firmly when casting and uses the rod’s repulsive force to carry lightweight rigs over long distances.

▪ High sensitivity due to quick information transmission
Short solid x small diameter tubular has other advantages. That is sensitivity. The thin and sharp tubular belly quickly detects the minute signals from the lightweight rig picked up by the solid tip and transmits them to the hand.
Short solid x small diameter tubular has other advantages. That is sensitivity. The thin and sharp tubular belly quickly detects the minute signals from the lightweight rig picked up by the solid tip and transmits them to the hand.
By feeling the minute signals that would be absorbed by a berry that is too long or too thick or too strong, you can create an exquisite stacking feeling and confidently control the action of stopping or shaking to remove. You will be able to do it.
Although it is sharp, it is easy to handle and retains the strength unique to Orion.
The more we pursue the sharp ability to freely manipulate a lightweight rig, the freewill has acquired an all-round ability that is easy to handle and has no quirks. The streamlined cork grip, which fits anyone’s hand and has no difference in the index finger position, also contributes to its ease of handling.
Although it is slender and has a crisp feel, the solid tip creates a gap between bites. Let it suck without popping, and hook with the tension of the berry. And after applying it, it exhibits a lot of stickiness.
While it has the delicate feel of UL, it also inherits the strength that rivals Orion’s unique “bending but returning” big bass. You can do super delicate fishing without sacrificing your landing success rate. It’s also a free fill.

Pro staff impression
Toshifumi Kikumoto
A free will with a flight distance of 6.5 feet and a feel similar to 6 feet. Anyway, it’s lightweight and highly balanced, and the ease of handling the light rig is impressive. In addition, it has an amazing sensitivity that allows you to clearly feel the grain of each shake that is carved by line slack, so you can continue to precisely control the shake with the rhythm and strength that you want.
Therefore, you can freely perform one-point shakes with a reduced travel distance at the bottom, as well as mid-strike and hobust movements that will make you writhe in the surface to middle layers. Alternatively, you can use the site to perform a precise, sharp short jerk that instantly pops the hidden smolaba right in front of the bass. Literally, it is a rod that allows the user to freely manipulate the rig according to their will.
Yasunao Hondo
A rod that is easy to use for light rigs in general, from swimming with jig head rigs that take advantage of the solid tip’s good bite, to down shot rigs that take advantage of the ease of shaking of the solid tip, and manipulative fishing such as cat rigs, midst, and hobust rigs. .
It’s not only shallow, but also has great sensitivity even in deep waters of 15m, and it’s easy to hook, so it’s an all-rounder that’s often used. The feeling of being able to manipulate the rig as you want is recommended not only for light rig lovers, but also for anglers who are not good at light rigs. This is one that will make light rig fishing fun.
Eien Yoshikawa
Freewill is a versatile light rig rod that is delicate and sensitive, and is easy to use without any peculiarities. When you’re operating it, it’s light and well-balanced, so you can precisely control the lure, and once you hook a fish, you’ll feel the stickiness and repulsion from the entire rod that you wouldn’t expect from a UL.
Taking advantage of such performance, at the 2021 JB All Japan Bass Pro Championship West Japan Tournament, we will aim at bass suspending in trees over 10 meters deep, hook a line to a branch in the water, hang a worm, and lure it to bite. I definitely caught the fish I hooked and was able to take second place.
Kenta Onishi
The Freewill is not a so-called solid-tip rod where only the tip bends, but the entire rod is clean, making it easier to throw and allowing you to get a good distance even on Lake Biwa. Although it allows for delicate operations unique to a solid tip, it feels similar to a regular taper tubular rod and is easy to handle, allowing you to remove weeds.
In the test, I suddenly caught a Rokumaru, but during the fight I felt such a strange power that I mistook it for a 40cm class one. In Lake Biwa, it’s a reliable rod in situations where there are fish but they don’t eat.

24 ton carbon solid tip that is delicate and short with just the right amount of tension.Tubular part with small diameter and lightweight design. Mainly made with high-strength, high-modulus carbon fiber “Torayca® T1100G” and “Nanoalloy® technology,” the bat is plyed with high-modulus 40-ton carbon and Quattro woven cloth. Due to its slender body and excellent elasticity, it achieves a natural bend curve that does not feel strange at the joint with the solid tip.
