🎣 CROSS BORDER SERIES
Balancing Opposing Performance at a Higher Level
The CROSS BORDER series is designed to balance opposing performance elements—strength and sensitivity, toughness and rebound power—at a high level. Choose between the standard models and tuna-specialized models to match your field and target species.
■ CROSS BORDER (Standard Models)
Built to handle more dynamic and powerful jerks without sacrificing control or feedback, maintaining the essential characteristics required for slow-pitch jigging.
-
Unpainted Blank for High Sensitivity: Minimizes cosmetic elements to transmit underwater information as directly as possible.
-
11 Titanium-Frame SiC Guides: Precisely positioned to maximize blank performance.
-
Butt-Joint Construction: Highly practical 2-piece design for portability.
■ CROSS BORDER TUNA (Tuna Specialized Models)
A tuna-specialized slow-pitch rod completed after five years of development, balancing the "joy of hooking" with "operability for landing." Produced by Yasuo Nishimoto, this is a pure tuna jigging machine designed to challenge giant tuna with an aggressive stance.
-
6'3" Length for Maneuverability: Facilitates maneuvering at the bow and prevents line breakage when tuna circle underneath.
-
Operation-Oriented Blanks for Underarm Fight: Maintains constant pressure while utilizing the reel’s power to recover line.
-
Custom "Size 19" Carbon Reel Seat: Developed with Fuji Kogyo for extreme rigidity and secure fit for large reels.
