The Kishi Taco Game model (岸タコゲームモデル) places Major Craft's Triple Cross platform under the shore octopus discipline, a step up in blank quality and casting performance from the Solpara-based Kishi Taco entry. The Triple Cross series sits in the mid-tier of Major Craft's range, made for anglers who fish shore octopus regularly and want tighter casting accuracy and improved blank feedback without moving to tournament-grade pricing. At 7'2" H-power RF (Regular Fast) action, the blank is shaped around distance casting to structure, rocky headlands, pier pilings, submerged boulders, then delivering high-torque pulling power at the butt to peel octopus off their hold-fast.

The RF taper is a deliberate balance: supple enough in the tip section to read octopus grabs and tactile cues, stiff enough at the butt to apply immediate upward pressure before the animal can clamp tighter. PE line rating runs 1–5 on the baitcasting model and 2–4 on the spinning (implied from published specs), supporting both mid-weight eging and heavier kishi-tako rigs up to 56 g. Two models: TCX-B722H/TACO (baitcasting, 7'2", PE 2–5) and TCX-S722H/TACO (spinning, 7'2", PE 1–4).

Baitcasting version carries a heavier PE rating floor, suited to direct-pull scenarios near structure; spinning version covers longer-range open-coast presentations. No ultralight or heavy-power variants in this series.

TCX-B722H/TACO Casting · 7'2" · H · RF action

Rated PE 2–5, max lure 56 g, the heavier line floor suits direct structure fishing where an octopus must be pulled hard from a hold before it fully grips. Baitcasting allows precise lure placement in tight windows between rocks.

TCX-S722H/TACO Spinning · 7'2" · H · RF action

Spinning format rated PE 1–4, max lure 42 g. Suits open coast anglers casting blind to likely octopus habitat. Lighter PE floor enables use of lighter takoego rigs for shy conditions or smaller octopus.
