From tournament-grade trout rods to deep-sea power machines, this month’s lineup highlights the balance between lightness, strength, and sensitivity that defines Japanese craftsmanship. Whether you’re chasing delicate bites in calm waters or targeting monsters in the depths, these new models from Forest, Studio Composite, Shimano, Tailwalk, and Daiwa deliver the performance and innovation to keep you one step ahead this season.
🌟 New Freshwater Rods:
Forest Ultima 61UL-E Pole Position
The Forest "Ultima" series is a high-end lineup of area trout rods designed with tournament use in mind. Each model has a distinct concept, allowing anglers to achieve better results by selecting the appropriate rod for the specific situation.
Studio Composite Paradox Parker
It is easy to make a rod that is light and brittle, or heavy and strong. But the ideal that everyone imagines—a rod that is light, strong, and highly sensitive—is made of contradictory paradoxes.
🌟 New Offshore Rods:
Tailwalk Sakuramas Jig SD
A jigging rod that sets a new standard for dedicated machines. A next-generation evolution from tailwalk, the brand that pioneered the unknown genre of "Sakuramas jigging exclusive rods.”
Shimano 25 Deep Chaser
Deep-sea models (300–500 weights) use solid high-strength glass to transmit bites clearly and handle heavy loads, preventing escapes. Mid-depth models (150–200 weights) use UD glass with Spiral X Core for lightweight, strong blanks, offering precise hand-held control and reliable performance in rod holders.
🌟 New Offshore Reels:
Shimano 25 Soare XR
The Soare XR combines a MagnumLite Rotor for light handling and high sensitivity with powerful rotation from Infinity Drive and a long handle. With durable gears, finesse drag, anti-twist features, and models from ultralight to power finesse, it's ideal for light salt games.
Daiwa 24 Light game RX IC
A versatile model that can handle a wide range of light games. With its HYPER ARMED HOUSING (AL), powerful winding is possible even under high load. Furthermore, with a generous line capacity of PE #2-200m, the LIGHT GAME RX IC excels in various scenarios, including hairtail, red sea bream, horse mackerel, mackerel, grunt, flounder, tai-rubber, light jigging, and squid metal. We offer two models: an all-round model with a gear ratio of 6.4 (72cm retrieve length) and a light jigging model with a gear ratio of 7.3 (83cm retrieve length). Handle knobs are not interchangeable.
Each of these November arrivals brings something special—refined control, advanced materials, or next-generation power. Together, they showcase the evolution of modern fishing gear built to meet the demands of serious anglers. Explore the full lineup and discover the tools that will power your late-season adventures.
