The Shimano REALANCER MARUIKA series is purpose-built for anglers who want the ultimate performance when targeting Maruika (Japanese spear squid) and other finicky squid species using the Zero-Ten method and metal sutte fishing. With its specialized tips and carefully tuned blanks, this series combines exceptional sensitivity with precise operability for both shallow and deep squid fishing.
The 73 145 model features a 7:3 action with an emphasis on visual sensitivity, smoothly bending from the tip to the mid-section. It excels in shallow to mid-layer fishing and is versatile enough for light spear squid and metal sutte game.
The 82 SS155 is a dedicated Zero-Ten method model, equipped with an ultra-flexible, float-like soft tip that catches even the faintest touches from Maruika. This delicate bite detection gives you full control when fishing for picky squid in changing conditions.
For deeper water and aggressive tactics, the 82 S160 pairs a soft, highly sensitive tip with a strong backbone from the mid to butt section. This combination ensures you can pick up subtle bites while maintaining solid hooksets, even during fast jigging or when working in stronger currents.
Each rod in the REALANCER MARUIKA series features Shimano’s reliable carbon blanks, corrosion-resistant guides, and comfortable grips that reduce fatigue during extended squid fishing sessions. Whether you’re an expert at Zero-Ten or trying metal sutte for the first time, this series delivers the refined bite detection and smooth action needed to master Maruika fishing.
