Specially made to handle the largest waters and fish. If you're big water fishing where you have to cast long distances to catch the fish, the new TX-7 is right up your alley. The previous TX-7 previously broke the tournament world record long throw (110 g lead) with a throw of 225 meters! This new generation has been developed with the same goal but with even more advanced rod technology, to break the record again. With the intensity models you can feel the power hidden in the incredibly slim blank, while the more conventional test curves between 2.75lb and 3.25lb offer an excellent compromise between casting power, accuracy and drill performance. The addition of NANOSHEET technology and M40X carbon fiber makes the blank even more responsive and recovers faster after casting. This will help you cast further than you ever have. The new TX-7 series is both strong and powerful, yet has a nice dampening effect during the fight. The addition of high-quality stainless steel Kigan Zirconia guides ensures optimal line guidance and a beautiful whole.

For those who haven’t used it before, this is a lever that is located on the rear of the reel. By activating this lever, it allows the reel to operate in a controlled freespool. This enables any fish which takes your bait to be able to run freely with your line. You can then deactivate the lever to reengage your drag, allowing you to determine exactly when you’re setting your hook to play your catch.
