New concept G.T. rod by HOT’s

Catching the Uncatchable Monster GT! Evolved aggressive GT Rod!

New “3rd Generation” GIPANG RYUJIN series reduces the burden on anglers and allows them to stand up against the violent tug of monster GT by its light weight, smooth bending curve and strong butt power. The high elastic blank makes monster GT surface by the restoring force. The good maneuverability by the light blank allows anglers to make sensitive and effective actions such as short twitching and dirt action below water under tough conditions.
In the butt section of New “3rd Generation” GIPANG RYUJIN series, the latest material “Four-direction set carbon cloth” is used. Since the Four-direction set carbon cloth gives very high strength and very high torsional strength than the old models without increasing rod weight, this new blank provides superior performance as a result of having remarkably stronger torsional strength than the old models. In the tip part, the Unsanded finish with 1 mm pitch has been applied in order to keep the lightness and strength.
A revolutionary lock nut system is adopted in the reel seat of New “3rd Generation” GIPANG RYUJIN series in order to prevent the loosening of the main nuts.The indispensable elements of rods for a casting GT game, which are good handling performance of big plugs, high lifting power and endurance, are condensed into New “3rd generation” GIPANG RYUJIN series.Please feel and enjoy the well-balanced tough performance of New “3rd generation” GIPANG RYUJIN series.

“GIPANG” is a coined word by HOTS and it means GT + ZIPANG (Japan).
GIPANG RYUJIN series are designed for big GT in severe and tough conditions of Japanese coast, though these can be used for any field in the world. We named them RYUJIN to show our respects and gratitude for the sea of Okinawa (Ryukyu) where a number of field tests were conducted.

GIPANG RYUJIN series are classified by the colors in their grips in order to distinguish each rod easily.83: SILVER79: BLUE75: RED
