The strange bite that appears when the lure follows and sucks in the light jig head as it slowly falls. The short bite that feels like a peck in a tough situation. These are transmitted to the hand holding the rod and the angler can grasp them, and are also called echo sensitivity. If this sensitivity is improved, reactions that were previously unnoticeable will be recognized as bites, and it will be possible to bring it to the hook with confidence. The newly reborn Shimano's highest-end light game rod "Soare Limited" is focused on absolute sensitivity. Since the lightness of the rod is linked to sensitivity, we paid attention to each part and detail even in the pursuit of sensitivity in weight reduction, and by accumulating small details, we have entered a different dimension. Its sharpened performance gives the angler a great advantage and leads them to an unexplored zone.
Sensitivity is not only important for detecting bites, but also for understanding the ever-changing conditions of the field. Gathering as much information as possible, such as changes in current speed, the presence or absence of tides, and understanding the shape and quality of the seabed, is an important process for target fishing, and is an essential part of planning a game.
Closely related to the information gathering is the sensitivity, also known as the feeling of operation or operability. Understanding how lightweight jig heads and metal jigs are moving and whether they are able to produce the action the angler intends are very important aspects that directly affect the fishing results.
Echo sensitivity, sensitivity for grasping information, sensitivity for manipulation.
"The new Soare Limited was created with a thorough understanding of these three elements (sensitivity) and with the aim of achieving the ultimate sensitivity. It is a product that satisfies all of its sensitivities," says instructor Yoshitsugu Niwa. Akihiro Shinbo and Kenjiro Abe, who are experts in light games, were also surprised by the overwhelming sensitivity, saying it was at a level they had never experienced before.
