Xuancai

Xuancai (炫彩) is a heavy shore casting rod built for reaching fish holding well beyond normal float range. The blank uses very thick walls and a stiff action so heavy rigs can be loaded and launched, and the maker describes the taper as designed to release the rig on a clean 45 degree casting arc. Large-diameter guides keep line flow smooth on the cast, helping both distance and accuracy, and the rod is pitched as a dual-purpose tool for bottom rigs and float rigs alike.

Four spinning models share a 5.3 m five-piece format, graded by sinker load: 10-25, 10-30, 10-35 and 10-40 go (roughly 37 g to 150 g at the top ends). Blanks are 99 percent carbon, weights run 351 g to 600 g, and closed lengths are 117 cm to 120 cm. The stout build doubles as insurance when a big fish takes at distance.
