Grandage Legacy Riddler Rod (S72L-SS)

The GRANDAGE LEGACY,

featuring TORAYCA® third-generation carbon throughout its entire length, represents a revolutionary evolution of the Apia light game rod.
Beyond its lightweight feel, sensitivity and operability have been dramatically improved.
Furthermore, it incorporates a newly designed high-precision solid tip and blank exterior, resulting in an unprecedented blank.
The GRANDAGE LEGACY proves that there are still uncharted territories in light game rods. The BLANK: A new generation blank has been created using TORAYCA® third-generation "M40X" and "T1100G" as the main materials. In particular, its sensitivity, casting distance, and operability have achieved outstanding performance that anyone can feel. SHIELD TECH LUGHT: To protect the lightweight and delicate blank, a lightweight version of the special scratch-preventing tape "Shield Tech" used in the GRANDAGE ATLAS, "Shield Tech Light," is employed. Furthermore, the unsanded finish achieves both a strong exterior and extreme sensitivity. *Only the S86MHT is equipped with "Shield Tech". NANO JOINT A new joint system developed by Apia, employing NANOALLOY® Technology, which eliminates the stiffness at the joint that is a weakness of 2-piece rods. Utilizing this technology, all models in the GRANDAGE LEGACY series use the Put-in method. In addition to "strength," "lightweight," and "high balance," it achieves performance that surpasses spigot joints, even down to the "bending curve." Furthermore, to prevent the joint from loosening during fishing, it is finished with ultra-high precision polishing of 2 to 5/1000 mm. *Since NANO JOINT is polished with ultra-high precision, do not use ferrule wax. Precision Solid A highly durable and ultra-high-precision polished solid tip using 100% TORAYCA® high-elasticity material. "Type H" is responsive, and "Type S" is bite-sensitive. *Models ending in "HS (Hard Solid)" are stiff and responsive, while "SS (Soft Solid)" are soft solid tips that prioritize bite. APIA Premium Warranty: Until five years have passed since the discontinuation of this product, we will repair it any number of times without limit, up to the deductible amount. *Please note that if you lose your warranty certificate, the premium warranty will be invalid. [Storage Precautions] If the rod gets wet, wipe off the moisture immediately with a dry towel. Storing it while wet or in a hot and humid place may cause blistering (water blisters) to occur on the painted surface.

Despite its 7ft2in length, this rod is lightweight and extremely easy to handle. It boasts excellent casting distance, allowing for precise approaches to targets from long distances to right at your feet. It handles a wide range of lures, from jigs to small plugs, and the soft solid tip ensures that bites are not missed, allowing for solid hookups with a high probability. When targeting rockfish and horse mackerel, it is crucial to feel the current, know where to let the lure drift and stop it, and most importantly, grasp the timing of the action to entice a bite. Equipped with TORAYCA® M40X and T1100G, this rod boasts incredible sensitivity, with a very sharp finish from the belly to the butt, allowing for precise approaches by transmitting even the slightest water current to your hand. Furthermore, when a fish suddenly takes off, the rod bends to follow its movement, drastically reducing the number of times the fish gets away. From the first prototype, the GRANDAGE LEGACY shattered my preconceived notions of light game rods. Once you use this rod, you'll never be able to go back.
