THE WORLD is the expedition end of the Black Serpent idea: every model is a five-piece (TR5) that closes to 43-50 cm, small enough for carry-on luggage, in specs that run from ordinary bass weights to the heaviest rating Dranckrazy publishes. The casting side spans five Japanese-named models: TSUKIKAGE, a 6'6" M for 5-28 g; SHIDEN, a 7'3" H to 84 g; SETSUNA and SHINMYO, XH blanks rated to 170 g on PE 6; and KANNAGI, an XXH rated to 280 g on PE 8. The spinning side mirrors the middle of that range with BYAKUYA (M), ONIDE (ML) and KAMIKAKUSHI, the spinning twin of SHIDEN.
The format is deliberately spartan: the maker publishes code, length, piece count, closed length, lure window and PE ceiling, and lets the ratings speak. All eight models list at ¥49,500, positioning THE WORLD between the GD generation and the collaboration rods in the catalog.
Shaded band: the spread of the lineup's 8 models, as percentile rank among same-type rods. Solid line = series median · dashed ring = catalog median.
