NAIKAI TAI-SABIKI SE

The NAIKAI TAI-SABIKI SE is a single-model boat rod built for Naikai (Seto Inland Sea) style tai-sabiki fishing, a boat technique using sabiki-style dropper rigs to target red sea bream (madai) and related sparids. The target angler fishes the relatively shallow, sheltered waters of Japan's Seto Inland Sea where this style of dropper-rig sea bream fishing is a regional tradition.

At 8'10" (2.7 m) the rod is sized for vertical or near-vertical presentation from a charter or private boat. The 6:4 action ratio, noted in retailer specifications, provides a flexible, tip-progressive bend suited to absorbing multiple hook-ups common in sabiki fishing while still transmitting the subtle takes of sea bream. Rod weight is documented at approximately 155 g with a stowing dimension around 138.5 cm.

The lineup is a single SKU, NTSS27 in casting configuration at 8'10". There are no power or length variants, the series addresses one specific regional technique in one format. It is a Japan-market specialist with limited international retail exposure.
