Major Craft SP Solpara Shore Tachiuo Tenya Rods

The constantly evolving fishing techniques, especially the one involving the use of lures, require the parallel evolution of the rods required to handle them. Japanese company Major Craft is constantly advancing its rods, not only to keep up with recent developments, but also to play a leading role in the new fishing styles.

The Solpara series has evolved in every aspect of the rod building process. The Major Craft Solpara series does not need any recommendation, as it is one of the most successful and user friendly rod series, both in terms of value and usability by beginners, but also from experienced anglers. Over the course of time, the Major Craft Solpara rods have been an excellent entry level option, in any fishing style.

The new Solpara Shore Tenya has been built exclusively for the Tenya fishing technique, this time for its in-shore variant. The Tenya fishing style has become very popular in recent years, both for the excitement it brings about and for its effectiveness. Having the knowledge from the off-shore Tenya fishing technique, Major Craft passed all this know-how and experience in the Solpara Shore Tenya rod, modifying it accordingly, to work from the shore this time. This series focuses more on Flatfish fishing, an extremely popular catch in Japan, however in the Mediterranean waters it can be applied to a wide range of catches, such as White Seabream, Red Snapper, Black Seabream, as its strong blank will always stay in touch with any prey, exhausting it and eventually reeling it in.

The rods of the Solpara Shore Tenya series enable the anglers who want to get to know this fishing technique, to live the experience and the emotions of Tenya from the coast, at an affordable price, but without any compromise in the high quality construction and Japanese know-how. Major Craft, has equipped the rods with a Fuji reel seat, as well as Fuji New Concept O Series guides, with SiC ceramic material.

The SPX-962STY model is Tubular (hollow tip), for emphasis on sensitivity. This is the ideal rod for any angler wanting to take the first step in the Shore Tenya technique. With a Casting Weight from just 3 to 30 grams, this Solpara rod can be used with a wide range of Tenya jigheads, combined with live, or fresh bait, silicone, or even biodegradable worms. This particular rod has a fast tip action, will produce natural motion to the bait and will make it look tempting in the eyes of predators. The fact that it can be used in combination with braided lines starting from PE# 0.6 to PE# 1.5 is an indication of the rod’s strength. The upper section, starting from the fourth guide and towards the tip is coated with a fluorescent yellow color that reacts to UV light, so that it is easy to distinguish any movement of the rod’s tip, even in complete darkness.

The Solid tip rod SPX-S902STY, places emphasis on sensitivity, but also in the technical presentation it recreates. It is a rod targeting more experienced anglers, pursuing difficult and weary fish, with low weight Tenya, letting them be carried away by currents. The extremely sensitive, solid top of the SPX-S902STY will make the difference during the strike. Having an Extra Fast action tip, Casting Weight starting at 2 to 20 gr and ideally a braided line from PE# 0.4 to PE# 1.5, we understand that this is a rod that will offer finesse in our fishing. The top section, starting at the fourth guide and all the way to the top, is coated with a bright fluorescent yellow color that reacts to ultraviolet (UV) light, so that it is easy to distinguish any tip motion, even in complete darkness.
