The Charm LIVE Taedo is JS Company's flagship hairtail (galchi) single-line rod, a Korean-made variable-length design descended from the 2024 Taedo 540, which the brand cites as Korea's first four-stage variable hairtail rod. The 540 converts between 4.8 m, 5.2 m, 5.4 m, and 5.8 m via a section-2 swap and EX extension, runs six pieces at 1,037 g, and is rated for 700-1,000 g sinkers on PE up to 8 with a 6:4 action. Sangtaedo and Hataedo 580 variants extend the family.

The blank combines 5-axis carbon, S-2 glass, helical core, 5DS Cross, and SHD high-density core processes, with X-JOINT construction carrying the action through the joints. Guides are Fuji PLCSG with a PMNST top, the reel seat is a DPSD/DPSLD pairing, and the grip is dimpled rubber over stainless. Tip and EX sections wear multi-layer fluorescent paint rather than tape for night visibility. Priced from about 891,000 KRW with a hard case included.
