The Shimano SABER MASTER BB series is an excellent entry-level rod lineup designed specifically for hairtail (tachi-uo) fishing using tenya and tenbin rigs. Combining Shimano’s reliable blank technology with user-friendly handling, this series gives anglers a smooth blend of sensitivity, control, and affordable quality.
Each SABER MASTER BB rod is built with a balanced 7:3 action that features a delicate tip to clearly detect subtle hairtail bites while maintaining a moderate backbone to absorb sudden runs. This helps prevent lost fish even when the hairtail bite is light or hesitant. The rod’s smooth bending curve allows anglers of any skill level to control the lure with confidence, making it easy to perform slow micro retrieves, stop-and-go, lift-and-fall, and jerk-and-stay techniques.
With corrosion-resistant guides and a comfortable EVA grip, the SABER MASTER BB is ready for saltwater use and long sessions in coastal waters like Tokyo Bay. It is versatile enough to cover everything from shallow to mid-range depths, supporting different sinker sizes and adjusting to the hairtail’s constantly changing swimming layers.
For anglers looking to start or upgrade their tenya/tenbin hairtail fishing without breaking the bank, the SABER MASTER BB delivers dependable Shimano quality, easy handling, and solid performance that lets you enjoy hairtail fishing with peace of mind.
