GRF-TX is the TX division of Breaden's Glamour Rock Fish light-game line, a spinning-oriented family built for mebaru and light rockfish work with a smaller bait-casting sub-group. The series splits into two design directions on one page. The TX Rocketmaru group is a bait-finesse and bait-casting set: GRF-TX60BL at 6'0" (2 to 6 g, 2 to 8 lb), GRF-TX73BM at 7'3" (2.4 to 16 g, PE 0.4 to 0.8) and GRF-TX77BH at 7'7" (14 to 38 g, PE 0.5 to 1.0). These carry the load from finesse presentations up to hard rock game for kijihata and shore tairaba, casting tight to pin spots and controlling the lure with a high-sensitivity tip and a butt tuned for hooking and lifting.
The core TX group is the spinning side that continues the Glamour Rock Fish lineage as a new standard. GRF-TX63M (6'3", 0.3 to 6 g) and GRF-TX60MH (6'0", 0.3 to 7 g) are 1-and-Handle short-length ultra-finesse rods for port work and larger mebaru and aji, the 60MH adding butt power over the 63M. GRF-TX77despoil V2.5 (7'7", 1.5 to 20 g, PE 0.3 to 0.6) is a reaction-style rod built to pull fish off bottom and cover with a high-elasticity blank. GRF-TX83 PE special (8'3", 1 to 19 g, PE 0.3 to 0.6) is the dedicated PE light-game model. Guides run titanium-frame TORZITE or SiC rings depending on model, all at open price.
Shaded band: the spread of the lineup's 7 models, as percentile rank among same-type rods. Solid line = series median · dashed ring = catalog median.
