Major Craft Egizaust 5G Tip Run Rod

The 5G is a New Manufacturing method, adopting the "R360 Structure" on which the development of the Major Craft Egizaust 5G Tip Run Rod has been based. Under the 5G rod development concept, the carbon fiber orientation is arranged toward all axis directions:

• Straight – Vertical
• Side – Horizontal
• Fade - Diagonal Right
• Draw - Diagonal Left

The arrangement of Carbon fibers in all directions have created a ultra-lightweight blank, that combines power and torque. Unlike the conventional carbon tape reinforcement on the blank’s surface, the blank itself is composed of carbon sheets, laid in the multi-axis directions. It is a blank structure that can respond to any force applied in a 360° degrees angle, hence it helps the rod’s blank section adopt to the situation.

For the development of the 5G rods, Major Craft utilized the T1100G carbon sheets by Toray Industries. The T1100G is a nano-level carbon fiber material, that achieves both high strength and high elasticity modulus. It is a latest technology carbon material, used in the field of aerospace or in aircraft applications (such as the tail of planes and floor beams of Boeing 777s), where extreme performance is required. The difference between the T1100G Torayca® material and other composite materials is that when compared (Load vs Strain), they both behave identically until the maximum load, after which the T1100G resin shows a significant increase in energy absorption, offering 13% higher-strength and 10% higher-elasticity.

The Tip Run fishing style is a very popular way for fishing squids in Japan and in recent years it has reached Europe. Fishermen of Squids, Short Fin Squids and Cuttlefish from a boat, find the Tip Run fishing style particularly sporty, fun and efficient in depths where we can not reach with Eging. The Tip Run technique is similar to Eging with the only difference being that the length of the rod is shorter, since we will not need to cast and so they can be easily managed inside the boat.

When we fish with the Tip Run style, we let the boat move with drift. We tend to fish on the opposite side of the boat's route. When we drop the TR squid jig, it is essential to feel that it has sunk. When this is noticed, we close the Bail Arm and start working the rod with jerks, exactly as in Jigging. After we have retrieved the lure for a few meters we pause, to explore our best chances of having a Strike.

Major Craft has developed the advanced Egizaust 5G range of rods, exclusively for the Tip Run technique. The Major Craft Egizaust 5G Tip Run series of rods, in addition to the top quality materials used in their construction, also focused on functionality. The Egizaust is a perfectly sensitive rod, but with a reserve of loads of power in the butt, thanks to the R360 technology. At the same time, its sensitivity, will offer fisherman the sensation of even the most subtle touch from small, or weary Cephalopods.

For the Major Craft Egizaust 5G EZ5TE-S682M blank, four layers of high and medium density Carbon fibers have been used, Fuji Guides with SiC ceramic material and K Frame, Fuji VSS reel seat and EVA anti-slip material. The Egizaust 5G Tip Run rod series is mounted with Spinning reels. This is a rod that can be used all year round. Its length is 2.07 m for easy jerks and excellent maneuverability. Made from the strongest Carbon Toray T1100G, it has the strength you can rely on when you want to fish at great depth and enjoy the real thrill of the Tip Run technique.
