EX Boat is the premium boat eging series, above AIR Boat, MX Boat and X Boat. The fishery is tip run: from a drifting boat the angler sends a weighted egi to the bottom, works it with a short burst of strokes and then stops it completely, and the squid commits during that stationary phase. The take moves the tip a few millimetres and nothing else, which is why the whole series is built around tip material. Most models carry SMT, a super-elastic titanium alloy tip that bends under load lighter than carbon will and returns without the lag of a solid carbon insert. Because tip-run egi and sinker-equipped egi are sold by weight rather than in shore 号 sizes, ratings are in grams: seven two-piece models cover 15 to 90 g on PE 0.4 to 1.0, at 5'11" to 7'2" and 75 to 102 g. Blanks are SVF Nano Plus with X45 Full Shield bias carbon and V-Joint alpha ferrules, on AGS carbon-frame guides and an Air Sensor Seat Slim Fit. Three models take different paths: the 63MLS IL is an interline build using the Hyper Dry internal spiral to lift the line off the blank wall, the 64MB-S is a baitcasting model at 102 g, and the 70MLS/68LS-SMT ships with two interchangeable tips.
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.
