This series collects the brand's one-off and small-batch topwater bass rods that are not part of a named family, grouped under one heading because each build is effectively unique. The rods are short, mostly four to mid-six feet, built across solid carbon, glass and S1-glass composite, and high-boron blanks, and several use a ferrule gripless construction with optional all-wood or aluminum grips. Many are limited colors, prototypes, or dead-stock single builds, so availability is sporadic and listings turn over quickly. Lure ratings, where the shop gives them, sit in the topwater bass range, roughly 1/4 to 2 oz on the heavier sticks. Prices are listed in yen. The group also includes a tanago pole and float-tube oriented Super Floater models alongside the bass sticks.
