Steez C64L-SV ・ ST [HERMIT]

When you give up evolution, degeneration begins. When we look back at the modern field, which is becoming tougher day by day, it is difficult to make a breakthrough just by being content with the current situation. STEEZ, which will undergo a full model change in 2021, has such a strong feeling in all models.

Naoto Kawaguchi, the guardian deity of Finesse. It goes without saying that Kawaguchi, who continues to vomit at the forefront of the tournament scene with a strategy of digging in and out, has the same feelings as DAIWA. It was inevitable that the bait finesse machine, 12HERMIT, known as his right arm, had undergone a dramatic evolution.

The predecessor HERMIT is a bait finesse model that combines a solid tip with a slender and thick tubular blank, and has operability close to that of a full solid and ease of catching a bite. It is true that swimming, which makes it easy to throw lightweight rigs such as cat rigs and smoraba and allows for rhythmic shakes, has pushed Kawaguchi onto the podium many times.

However, a scalpel was added to the highly complete predecessor model.
“You can clearly see the tiny topographical changes at the bottom and their quality.”

What 21HERMIT has acquired is the immediate fighting power of even greater sensitivity. The key to high sensitivity is two sections.

One is the highly elastic and stiff, DAIWA’s original high-strength solid tip “Mega Top”. The change in the bottom, which tends to be hesitant with tubular tips with strong repulsive force, realizes a tight trace without hitting the rig with a solid tip with a tight core. The “exquisite leaning feeling” transmitted through the line is an advantage unique to a solid with tension. The other is “SVF COMPILE-X” used for berries and bats. The muscular blank, which has been squeezed and squeezed by increasing the carbon density, amplifies the minute vibrations captured by the megatop with a megaphone structure with a tubular structure. The cooperation of each section succeeded in creating a unique extra-dimensional supersensitivity.
“You can catch fish that you couldn’t catch before. It will lead to another fish.”

The blank that tightens the whole body with the X45 full shield realizes a high-precision cast without blurring. The paradoxical material characteristics that stretch under a light load and bend and repel at a high load show a sharp finish.
“When you hang it, the fish will come to you. This is the strength of SVF COMPILE-X.”

I was deeply moved by the fact that the material with a lot of muscle mass exerts the same or even better strength while maintaining its lightness. Exquisite matching of materials and design will refine the next world of bait finesse.
