The Shimano REALANCER OTOSHIKOMI series is specially designed for boat anglers who love the dynamic and strategic “otoshikomi” style of live bait fishing. Built to handle everything from light rigs to powerful fights near structure, this series combines responsive blanks, excellent cushioning, and precise operability to help you land everything from flounder and seabream to yellowtail, amberjack, and big bottom fish.
The 73Light 215 model features a crisp 7:3 action with lightweight construction and superb maneuverability. Perfect for using short rigs with 40–60g sinkers, it excels in working live bait naturally while maintaining sensitivity to subtle bites.
The 64M250 highlights a 6:4 action that prioritizes cushioning. Its flexible blank absorbs sudden runs and protects light hooks and fine leaders, yet has the strength to handle large, aggressive fish when using heavier leaders.
For anglers seeking a true all-rounder, the 73MH245 delivers balanced power with its standard MH-class 7:3 action, ideal for versatile applications in different depths and bottom structures.
The 73H235 is the powerhouse model, offering a robust near 8:2 feel within a 7:3 action, designed for battles close to rocky structures. With its extra backbone, you can turn large fish’s heads quickly, making it perfect for big yellowtail and amberjack.
With corrosion-resistant guides, ergonomic grips, and Shimano’s trusted blank design, the REALANCER OTOSHIKOMI series gives anglers the confidence to master live bait fishing with precision and strength.
