<Outrage BR Nagasaki/Goto Islands Field Test>
The first impression I got from holding the Outrage BR, the younger brother of the Outrage offshore rod, was that it was light and cool!
It is a basic, high-cost performance offshore rod that is perfect for those who are thinking of starting offshore fishing.
First of all, the jigging model is very light and easy to jerk, and my impression after using it in a Goto yellowtail game in late autumn was that it was very light and easy to jerk.
The first obstacle that people who try jigging for the first time face is fatigue, but the lightweight air sensor seat and the long grip end that is easy to hold under your arm make it less likely to get tired. The rod's flexibility is demonstrated while jerking, and the butt has power after the fish is hooked, so I was able to catch a 12kg yellowtail and a 9kg yellowtail by relying on the rod's restoring force. The casting model is designed to be well-balanced for comfortable casting, lure operation, and fighting with fish. On this fishing trip, I was able to easily catch a 16kg yellowtail amberjack with the #5 power. A video of the powerful fight scene from this fishing trip has been uploaded to YouTube, so please take a look.
The light casting (LC) model is perfect for targets such as Spanish mackerel and bonito, which have become popular in recent years. It covers the gap between casting rods that are too strong and sea bass rods that are too soft. It is also perfect for fast pulling of minnows, small tungsten jigs such as TG bait, and blade jigging.
The younger brother of the well-established OUTRAGE series, the "OUTRAGE BR".
