About Rooster Gear Market

Rooster Gear Market (RGM) is a Japan-based fishing brand operating under Jackall Inc., a major Japanese tackle manufacturer headquartered in Shiga prefecture. RGM is positioned as a lifestyle fishing brand: its products are designed to look at home as a piece of outdoor gear alongside cameras, bicycles, and travel bags, targeting anglers who fish as part of a broader active lifestyle. The design language across the lineup emphasizes compact pack dimensions and restrained industrial aesthetics over performance marketing language.

The product catalog is built around multi-piece and telescopic rod designs that pack into backpacks, tote bags, and jacket pockets. Every rod in the range prioritizes pack length as a primary spec alongside fishing performance. The lineup spans fixed-line poles for traditional Japanese small-fish fishing (tanago, tenkara, hechi-zuri), multi-piece spinning and casting rods for trout and light freshwater fishing (spec.2, spec.5), and a saltwater light-game range (spec.6). The spec.T series offers fiberglass solid-blank rods as a character-oriented alternative within the otherwise carbon-dominant catalog. RGM's online store and retail partner network (shop list on the website) are the primary sales channels.

What Rooster Gear Market is known for

Compact multi-piece and telescopic rods designed to pack into bags for everyday carry. The spec.5 Convertible System (2-length-mode rods), the spec.3 tanago poles (sub-25cm pack dimensions), and the spec.T fiberglass solid series are the most distinctive products in the lineup.
