Shimano's Spiral X construction forms the foundation of the blank, using a three-layer carbon structure with diagonally wound carbon tape in opposing directions to increase torsional and crushing rigidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reduces unwanted rod vibration and power loss, resulting in sharper handling, more precise bait control and efficient power transmission during hooksetting and fighting. A flexible glass solid tip combines appropriate firmness and sensitivity with excellent bite acceptance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt helps absorb subtle contacts without rejecting bites, allowing flounder to take live bait naturally before the angler commits to the hookset. The series features Shimano's X Seat Extreme Gun Grip, an ergonomic reel seat designed specifically for secure palming of conventional baitcasting reels and small to medium electric reels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts distinctive asymmetrical gun-grip shape increases contact between the palm and handle, allowing the entire hand to support the rod securely. According to Shimano's comparative testing, the design reduces rod movement during reeling by approximately 30% and palming load by up to 45% compared with its previous design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese improvements help reduce fatigue during extended handheld fishing while providing greater stability and leverage when setting the hook or fighting large fish. The grip is available in dedicated RIGHT and LEFT configurations corresponding to right-hand and left-hand retrieve reels, and the X Seat Extreme Gun Grip M component is replaceable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lineup consists of two distinct rod actions, each offered in both grip orientations. The 64 M270 features a progressive 6:4 action designed for delicate live-bait presentations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts flexible, cushioning characteristics help prevent the rig from bouncing excessively in rough seas and allow flounder to swallow the bait with minimal resistance. It is particularly suitable for anglers who prioritize natural bait presentation and controlled bite acceptance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 73 MH270 features a more responsive 7:3 action with a firmer tip-supporting section, providing enhanced control during drifting presentations, deeper-water fishing and fishing around rugged rocky bottoms. Even when the rig moves beneath the boat and the sinker pulls against the rod, its stronger tip support enables deliberate bait manipulation and stable operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll four models measure 2. 70 m and use a two-piece parallel-joint construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe combination of Spiral X strength, a sensitive glass solid tip and the X Seat Extreme Gun Grip makes Bay Game Hirame a versatile and dependable choice for technical live-bait flounder fishing from boats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0828\/4097\/7730\/collections\/background-_5.jpg?v=1794215788","url":"https:\/\/www.yokitackle.com\/collections\/49693632-baygame-hirame.oembed","provider":"YOKI Tackle Fishing Gear Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
