Tachiuo model

The Tachiuo model is a sub-series of the Crostage (CRX) shore range specifically configured for shore tachiuo fishing, shore-based lure fishing for largehead hairtail (Trichiurus lepturus), known in Japanese as tachiuo. Hairtail fishing from shore is a major night-fishing genre in Japan, conducted from breakwaters, piers, and rocky shores using metal jigs, soft plastics on jig heads, and dedicated hairtail lures. The W suffix in model codes identifies these as wind-style (winding) rods suited to moderate-speed continuous retrieves instead of aggressive jigging.

All four models are spinning with RF (Regular Fast) action. The Crostage platform uses a cross-carbon blank construction that balances sensitivity with casting durability at an accessible price point. The W designation distinguishes these from other CRX models and signals a blank tuned for smooth, consistent retrieve loads. Lure ranges cover 1/4-3/4 oz for M-power models and 3/8-1 oz for the single MH model. All are two-piece. The lineup covers 8'0" to 8'6" in two power classes: M (three models) and MH (one model).

Within the M-power group, three lengths are offered (8', 8'3", 8'6"), giving anglers a choice of reach and casting arc based on shore position. The 8'3" MH model is the dedicated heavy option for larger hairtail or heavier lures in current.
