The Seabass Game Custom Model is Major Craft's high-end TiDrift 5G sub-series dedicated to European-style lure fishing for seabass (suzuki) from shore. It has gained significant traction among UK and Irish lure anglers made for bass on soft plastics, surface lures, and hard minnows along rocky coastlines and estuaries. The Custom designation implies a step above the standard TiDrift model, Toray T1100G carbon blanks represent a top-tier material choice. Target angler is experienced shore lure anglers fishing mixed terrain at range. Blanks are Toray T1100G, one of the higher-modulus materials in production use, delivering light dead weight with strong mid-section resistance.

RF (Regular Fast) action is the standard designation for most models, which suits the varied lure types common in European seabass fishing, the tip loads for soft plastics while the mid-section provides casting power for bulkier surface lures. The TD5-932MH+ model uses a pure Regular action, showing a softer mid-section suited to large plugs or current-heavy presentations. Two-piece construction throughout for portability. Five spinning models, 8'6"–10'. Powers span L/ML through MH+. The 8'6" ML model and 9'6" ML cover finesse seabass; 9'3" MH+ and 9'6" M handle larger lures and heavier conditions; the 10' M model provides maximum shore-cast reach.

All spinning, Casting models is absent. The MH+ designation on the 9'3" model suggests an extra-stiff mid-section compared to standard MH; the pure R action on the same model is unusual and indicates slow-loading behavior suited to heavier, longer-range retrieval techniques.

A closer look at notable models.

TD5-862L/ML Spinning · 8'6" · L · RF action

Shortest and lightest model. Favored by anglers fishing confined rocky marks or estuaries where a 9+ foot rod would be unwieldy. The L/ML dual designation appears to span the finesse end of the seabass spectrum.

TD5-932MH+ Spinning · 9'3" · MH · R action

Only Regular-action model in the lineup, diverging from the RF standard. Suited to large heavy plugs, surface poppers, or heavier weighted rigs where a slower, deeper load is beneficial. The MH+ power classification indicates backbone above standard MH.

TD5-1002M Spinning · 10' · M · RF action

Maximum-length model for the series. Shore-cast distance is the priority, 10 feet clears cliff edges and gets lures into tidal rips at range. Standard M/RF profile keeps it versatile across lure types.
