Seabass Game model
Shore seabass lure rods from entry-level Solpara to mid-grade Tidedrift 3G, 8'6"–11'
This batch groups two Major Craft seabass lineups under one slug: the New Solpara (SPSB) entry-level series and the Tidedrift 3G (TD3) mid-grade series. Both target shore-based Japanese seabass (suzuki) anglers casting plugs, vibrations, and metal jigs from jetties, wading flats, and rocky shorelines. The SPSB models are sold as cost-effective all-rounders; the TD3 models use Toray T1100G carbon in R360 construction, placing them closer to performance territory.
SPSB blanks use intermediate-modulus carbon with regular-fast action and Fuji K-frame guides. Weights run 150-220g across the lineup. TD3 blanks are lighter (121-199g) with the same RF action, Fuji VSS or DPS reel seats, and single-foot guides on lighter models. The TD3-1102MH is a dedicated rock-shore hirasuzuki model with double-foot guides and a DPS up-lock seat. All are two-piece spinning rods with split-grip cork handles.
SPSB models span 8'6" to 10'6" in L/ML through M power, scaling from sheltered bay work to surf casting. TD3 models span 9'0" to 11'0" and include a specialized rock-shore MH at the top. The TD3-902L/ML is the lightest everyday model at 121g; the TD3-1102MH at 199g is built for sustained rod-loading against surf and swell.
Shaded band: the spread of the lineup's 12 models, as percentile rank among same-type rods. Solid line = series median · dashed ring = catalog median.
