This “Bounty Killer” was developed concurrently with the “Light Feelips” as one of the models in the “GLADIATOR Technix” series.
The rod is made up of a powerful highly elastic solid tip with a butt section rivaling the power of a MH class rod. Unlike those artificially looking tapered rods with a flexible tip and stiff butt, the Bounty Killer’s bend curve is so natural that one will not even notice where the rod joins together. Once the fish is on and the rod loaded, it will show its true power (torque), allowing anglers to maintain the initiative against the monstrous bass hooked-up in the heavy cover.
One noteworthy aspect of the rod is its ability to cope with various situations. Since it was code named the “powerful bait-finesse” rod since the beginning of its development, anglers are not only able to undertake the bait-finesses style but can also utilize hard-baits exceeding 10g, increasing the options for approaches.
If the “Light Feelips” (bait-finesse) exists as a rod to fill the gap between the sensitive/light spinning tackle and the hard/heavier bait tackle, then the “Bounty Killer” is a rod to fill the slightest gap between the bait-finesse and the bait tackle.
Takashi Kanamori won the title as the “king of land-based bass fishing” with this single rod. This Bounty Killer is the Next generation rod RAID JAPAN presents to the modern bass fishing scene.
