Description
In-shore Octopus fishing has been attracting the attention of anglers in recent years. From the Solpara series, a model dedicated exclusively to Octopus fishing has appeared.
The rod itself has excellent, long-distance casting properties, just like any Major Craft spinning model, despite its length being 2.13 mt. The Solpara Taco rod, fits with a spinning reel and aim at the octopus lurking at your feet, or in the nearby area. These rods are specially designed to have a delicate tip, that allows you to feel even the slightest change at the end of your braid. The butt section, is strengthened to enable the rod to fight a resisting octopus and handle thicker than usual braid, in the area between 2.0 and 5.0.
All in all, the Major Craft Solpara Taco rod, makes the fishing of octopus not only productive but also pleasant and easier.
The Action of most Japanese, European and American rods is typically described as Fast, Medium, or Moderate to describe simply put how stiff or soft a rod is. There is also the Tenkara Action Index, that uses numbers instead of adjectives. The numbers refer to how close to the tip, a rod flexes when loading, on a one-to-ten scale. So, from the Stiffest , to the Softest , the range is: 8:2, 7:3, 6:4 and 5:5.
A numerical rating system like this, is more objective than using adjectives because it shows a more measurable ratio, of how much of the rod flexes, based on an index. The Tenkara system describes where the rod bends rather than how it responds to an external force.
