Major Craft is applying its new 5G technology to both its existing and new premium rod series, achieving significant improvements in two key areas:
The leading Japanese company Major Craft, known for introducing innovative technologies, presents its new premium rod series featuring 5G (5-Grade) technology. The Crosride 5G XR5-962M combines the cutting-edge R360 Construction method with premium Toray T1100G Carbon and Fuji components, delivering a powerful blank with very low weight for comfortable and effective shore jigging.
Technology & Construction Method
R360 Construction
Different 360⁰ Weave: Unlike the traditional reinforcement method (wrapping carbon tape), the blank itself is made from layers of carbon sheets woven at different angles.
- Horizontal direction
- Diagonal clockwise direction
- Diagonal counterclockwise direction
- Vertical direction
Toray T1100G Carbon Construction Material
Aerospace Technology: Toray's T1100G is the most technologically advanced carbon material currently used in aerospace applications (e.g. aircraft tail fins or the floor structure of Boeing 777s), where high strength and absolute reliability are essential.
Molecular Modification: Modified at the molecular level, it significantly improves its strength and elasticity.
Strength–Strain Comparison: Compared with other composite materials, it behaves in the same way up to its strength limit. Beyond that point, T1100G absorbs a significant portion of the load, increasing strength by 13% and elasticity by 10%.
Features
Technique: Specially designed and highly versatile model for Light Shore Jigging.
-
Lure Handling:
Effective use with metal jigs around 40 g.
Easy handling and precise control of sinking lipless lures and heavy minnows, delivering an immediate response during the retrieve.
-
Blank Performance & Fighting Power:
Features a particularly powerful blank with substantial reserves of strength to apply the pressure needed during a fight.
Suitable for targeting strong, hard-fighting predators such as amberjack.
At the same time, it retains the sensitivity and ease of use required for long fishing sessions.
Equipment & Advantages
All of the above innovations are equipped with the best components available on the market:
Guides: Fuji SiC for smooth line flow and maximum abrasion resistance.
Reel Seat: Fuji DPS for ultimate reel stability and security.
Key Benefits of Fishing
Effortless Jigging: The very low weight and R360 structure allow for long fishing sessions without tiring the angler.
Maximum Power: An extremely powerful blank with high torsional strength for confidence when battling impressive opponents.
