One-piece casting rod for PE No. 10 and No. 12
BORON power bursting! For casting game with 200g class lures
The size of fish that can be caught has increased in recent years due to the evolution of tackle and improvement of anglers' techniques. By studying the target, the lures used are diverse. Even when targeting big fish, the prey varies depending on the region and conditions, such as microbait, squid, saury, datsu, dace, and dorado... so more and more anglers are using lures that match these prey. And in recent years, magnum baits with a weight of over 100 g have been attracting attention.
Restaffine has added a new model to its Black Blaze II series, both of which have a maximum casting weight of 200 g. We focused on these two models.

A manufacturer that believes in the potential of boron rods more than anyone else
Restaffine is the evangelist of BORON rods in Japan. When one thinks of Boron, the image of O Corp. fly rods and F Corp. bass rods may come to mind. As for offshore rods, S Corporation’s boron rods are well known. Today, however, people say, “Boron is metal, so boron rods are heavy. The image of using boron rods is that they can be sold at a higher price, so they use them.” This is a misperception that has been spread by the media, which has diminished its presence.
However, Restaffine’s salesman, who had been visiting fishing tackle stores since the release of Boron bass rods, said, “Our Boron rods have Boron in them from the base to the tip tip,” and handed them to a tackle store representative who said, “Try holding them,” and asked, “Are they heavy? No, it’s not. I’ll bend it, it’s not hard. It bends more. It doesn’t bend from here.
Boron rods are not heavy, and they are not stiff and unbendable like a stick. Instead of using boron as “reinforcement,” Restaffine has created a full-length boron x carbon blank that goes from the base of the blank to the tip of the tip. And in the Black Blaze series, this sheet was further increased to two layers for unparalleled power. The latest models are the 76ZX and 67ZX of the Black Blaze II series.
One-piece models that fully utilize the characteristics of the blank
Restaffine has been involved in the production of Boron rods for a long time and has put all the characteristics of these rods into his works. After the release of the company’s first offshore casting rod “Blue Blaze,” the 76ZX and 67ZX are the latest Black Blaze II models released as its power models.
The 76ZX is 229 cm in length with a rod weight of 460 g. It can handle up to PE No. 10 and a casting weight of 200 g. The 67ZX is 203 cm in length with a rod weight of 487 g. It can handle up to PE No. 12 and a casting weight of 200 g. It can handle up to PE No. 12 and a casting weight of 200 g. The 67ZX is 203 cm in length with a rod weight of 487 g. It can handle PE No. 12 and a casting weight of 200 g. It can handle PE No. 12 and a casting weight of 200 g. It is designed to be used for catching big fish, casting weight is 200g.
Both of them are designed to maximize the power of the blank, so that anglers can cast magnum baits firmly on the rod and pursue torque with lift power when fighting with big fish. *The grip is detachable.
Craftsman finish on made-to-order models
One of the features of these two models is that they can be used with PE No. 10 and 12. Of course, “usable” means that anglers can cast without stress.
One-piece rods have no joints, so there is no reinforcement to strengthen the ferrule. Therefore, the characteristics of the blank can be fully utilized and the rod weight does not increase as a result of ferrule reinforcement. On the other hand, however, there is a limit to the length of the rod, and thus the flying distance becomes a problem. The Black Blaze II 76ZX and 67ZX have solved this problem.
Generally, #40 stripping guides are used for this type of rod. By installing #50 guides and reducing the number of guides, frictional resistance was reduced, and as a result, the distance problem was solved. Although this is only an assumption, it is likely that many tests were repeated to reach this point. Such things can only be done by experienced designers. An angler who has discovered the appeal of Boron rods. This model is recommended for anglers who have already discovered the appeal of Boron rods and want to enter a new world of fishing.
