The HOTS Gipang Tide Lez. 59H is a power-style short casting rod engineered for targeting large pelagic species such as Bluefin tuna, dolphinfish, yellowtail, yellowfin tuna, and sailfish. Developed for use in Japan’s renowned offshore fisheries—including Shichirigasone, Sagami Bay, Suruga Bay, and Izu—as well as Payao (floating fishing bank) expeditions, this rod combines exceptional strength with lightweight handling.
Built with HOTS’ ultra-light yet ultra-strong blank technology, the GIPANG Tide Lez. delivers the lifting power to subdue giant fish quickly in strong currents without giving them the initiative. Its design allows anglers to cast big plugs with ease and maintain full control during high-pressure fights.
The 59H model is particularly well-suited for casting large plugs to big dolphinfish from a shared boat and can also be used for vertical jigging with metal jigs, offering versatile performance for topwater and jigging applications.
