GT 35kg on Heaviest TBL prototype rod + KLL Pandora 220+40 prototype lure
We feel great potential with this lure for large GT if we can cast...
GT 35kg on Pandora 155+30
Captain Fukui approaches to the point very precisely and this definitely supports his result
Kattobi series are designed for Tuna species but they secretly work very well for GT
Fishing will improve with good mixture of γ(Gamma), Bluefish, Kattobi, Pandora and Sea Frog Twin Hook

GT 28kg on MH 8.3ft 37lb prototype rod + Pandora 155+30

Adjustment we applied on this rod this time made some good difference
GT 47kg on MH 8.3ft 37lb prototype rod + Pandora 155+30
Although it will take long time to complete testing, this rod is now much nicer after we applied a few adjustment
Carpenter spends significant amount of time to complete testing for each product. It generally takes long time but they will be great product with no compromise when they are released to the market
