Raid Japan Gladiator Anti Casting Rod

What means an ANTI?
I want to make a rod that is the opposite of the ORIGINAL GLADIATOR. If ORIGINAL GLADIATOR is my mission, I would like to create an automatic rod that automatically performs the rod's original job.
This project started with this idea in mind.
We, who poured our heart and soul into creating ORIGINAL GLADIATOR, dared to deny it outright and come up with another answer from a different angle.

ANTI'S 3 Concepts…
Concept-1. Highly assists the angler in "casting", "retrieving" and "fighting" (all-purpose medium-elasticity blanks that allow the rod itself to do the job perfectly) - Operation "casting" that the rod is responsible for
during fishing activities ”, “Retrieve”, and “Hooking to Fight”, the rod itself performs the job perfectly. When casting, the blank bends firmly due to the weight of the lure, and its repulsive force allows the lure to fly accurately and with light force. When retrieving, do not push too hard and accurately transmit the signal sent by the lure to the angler. When hooking, the torque generated by the entire blank causes the hook to penetrate the fish's jaw. During a fight, everything from the tip to the butt end exerts torque proportional to the fish's pull. Automatic blanks that the more the fish pulls or the rod bends, the more force the blank tries to return to its original position overflows, naturally pulling the fish closer. It is not just an arm for the angler, but a strengthening tool that strongly assists the angler and pushes him to the next level.

Concept-2. Ultra-wide range of defense (wide range of areas centered on main operations)
- When it comes to visiting the field for the first time, let alone shore fishing, you can't carry around a number of dedicated machines. You will be sacrificing the "mobility" that can be called the advantage of shore fishing. If there was a rod that could do more than just the main operation, it would be a powerful weapon. Anti has an extremely wide range of coverage due to its blank characteristics.

Concept-3. Providing high performance at a low price
・The Anti series reconsiders the original role of the rod from the ground up, and by using blanks to compensate for all the burdens and required skills on the angler side, it is easy for anyone to use and has high quality. It is finished as an automatic rod that can carry out dimensional operations. Even if you are an expert, you will be surprised by the high performance of Anti, which allows you to experience fishing on the next level. Our goal was to have as many anglers as possible experience the ``original performance of the rod'' that this Anti rod has, which we are proud of. In order to achieve a low price, the guide is made of stainless steel, which does not easily affect blank performance (the TOP guide has a titanium frame). Made of high-grade cork with EVA. We have succeeded in reducing manufacturing costs without compromising the quality of the blanks' performance and the decoration that gives them a sense of ownership. Anti is a series that allows you to experience "high performance" at a "low price".


Low Modurus (Modulus) Muscular Carbon Graphite The rebellious “ANTI” is here.
What does ANTI mean?
We wanted to create a rod that was the complete opposite of the ORIGINAL GLADIATOR. If the ORIGINAL GLADIATOR was made for single missions, the alternative would be a rod that automatically delivers the core capabilities of a fishing rod. The project began with that single aim.
As the development team that poured blood and sweat into the ORIGINAL GLADIATOR, we took a hard look at the original which led us to a different answer.

ANTI’S 3 Concepts…
Concept-1. Exceptional assistance of the angler during the “cast” “retrieve” “fight” (All-around mid-modulus blank that perfectly performs all motions)
・For all operations handed by the rod from “cast” “retrieve” “hookset and fight”, the rod itself completes the job. When cast, the blank fully bends with the weight of the lure and sends the lure flying with accuracy and little power. On the retrieve, without pulling the lure too hard, the angler can accurately feel the signals at the end of the line. On the hookset, the torque generated from the entire blank penetrates the hook into the fish’s jaw. During the fight, torque is generated from the rod tip to the butt end in relation to the fish’s pull. As the fish pulls harder and bends the rod, the blank exerts power to bounce back, which makes the blank “automatic” in landing fish. Rather than becoming the angler’s arm, the blank becomes a power arm that assists the angler in reaching the next level of fishing.

Concept-2. Ultimate versatility (beyond its primary strengths)
・When visiting new waters, especially bank fishing, it’s impractical to carry multiple special-purpose rods. Doing so might sacrifice the advantage of bank fishing which is “mobility”. The focus became developing a rod that performed its primary function and serve secondary functions at a high level. The ANTI with its unique blank specifications enables this exceptional versatility.

Concept-3. High performance at a low cost
・With the ANTI series, we reassessed what is truly needed in a rod and selected blanks that compensate for various field conditions and angler skill levels. The result is an “automatic” rod that delivers easy handling and high performance for anyone. Even advanced anglers will be amazed at how the ANTI will elevate their game. We want everyone to try our masterpiece, the ANTI, which brings the focus back on a “rod’s core capabilities”. To provide it at a low cost but keep blank performance intact, stainless-steel guides (top guide is titanium frame) and EVA grip (instead of high-grade cork) were used. The final product has blank performance and quality aesthetics that anglers can appreciate, while manufacturing costs were kept low. Feel the “high performance” of the ANTI series at a “low cost”.
