Eging

X Boat is the entry point into boat eging, below MX Boat, AIR Boat and EX Boat. Boat eging replaces the shore angler's cast with a vertical drop from a drifting hull. In the tip run style the egi goes to the bottom, gets a short burst of strokes and is then held completely still while the drift carries it; the squid commits during that motionless phase and moves the tip a few millimetres, which is the whole reason these rods are short and tip-focused. Ratings follow the boat convention of grams rather than the 号 body-length sizes used on shore rods, because tip-run egi and sinker-loaded egi are sold by weight. Five two-piece models run 5'11" to 7'0" and 78 to 89 g, rated 15 to 50 g, 18 to 70 g or 25 to 90 g depending on model, on PE 0.4 to 1.0. Four carry solid tips finished in silver paint so a take can be seen as well as felt, the detection method most beginners rely on before they learn to read it through the line. The fifth, the 65MLS IL, is an interline build whose braid runs inside the blank on a spiral ridge structure and cannot wrap a guide. Construction is Braiding X cross-wrapped carbon at the butt, stainless-frame Fuji K guides and an Air Sensor carbon reel seat.
