The Standard Model of the "Neko Shaft" series, Ideal for Super Light Jigging (SLJ), Targeting Species like Gruntfish (Isaki) and Yellowtail (Hamachi)
Issei Neko Shaft Shang-Shang-Maru C702L

The baitcasting model C702L is 7.0 feet long and features a 2-piece butt joint construction with a highly responsive tubular tip. The blank incorporates Haruhiko Murakami's meticulously designed guide settings, allowing for smooth bending according to the applied load. It provides excellent flexibility while maintaining remarkable tenacity, ensuring easy jigging and making it comfortable to fight even slightly larger fish. It gives users confidence, knowing they can bend the rod fully without worry.

In addition to making jigging easy, this rod's balance prevents the unnatural "sharp corners" in jig movements, even with high-pitch jigging, allowing anyone to create smooth, fluid jig action. It's a great option for beginners in jigging who are still learning jig control.

When paired with a low-gear baitcasting reel, it can also be used for slow-pitch fishing. By using a baitcasting reel with a counter, you can efficiently explore the hit range and make the most of your game.

Apart from SLJ, this rod is versatile enough to handle tasks like Tachiuo jigging with jigs up to 100g, making it a valuable asset for a variety of offshore fishing situations.
