The Grandship 1G Tachiuo Tenya Model (グランシップ1G タチウオテンヤモデル) is a boat rod specialized for offshore hairtail (tachiuo) tenya fishing from a vessel. It fits anglers who struggle to time the hookset on subtle hairtail bites, offering two distinct actions to match fishing style and fish activity level. Both models accept 30–60-go tenya weights. The blank uses intermediate-modulus carbon as the main cross construction, providing a stiff butt and belly section capable of hooksets with wrist-only movement, combined with a glass solid tip for bite detection.
Fuji K-frame guides run the blank; the tip section uses LDB guides to reduce line tangles. The grip suits a wide range of hand sizes with balance as the priority. Both models are 2-piece with sub-93 cm breakdown. Release date: November 2025. Two bait-cast (down-lock) models cover different angler approaches: the shorter 170 cm (5'7") GR1TACHI-B170H/91 has a 9:1 action suited to aggressive, high-activity immediate hooksets, while the 175 cm (5'9") GR1TACHI-B175H/82 uses an 8:2 action that lets anglers allow the fish to commit before striking.
Both are priced at ¥16,000 (¥17,600 with tax) within Major Craft's entry-grade 1G lineup.

A closer look at notable models.
9:1 action with a firm tubular blank section; designed for high-activity bite windows where immediate hooksets are rewarded. The stiff profile telegraphs when the hook has loaded, making it the better pick for anglers who want to feel and react quickly instead of wait for the fish to commit.
8:2 action with a flexible glass solid tip that reads preliminary bite signals before the fish fully takes the tenya. The softer taper allows hairtail to hold the bait longer, giving the angler a cleaner hookset window. Described by Major Craft as the most versatile and beginner-friendly model in the pair.
