The DLL-C67MLRST1s, the first in DESIGNO's LIVERAL series for winding lures, can be described as a double taper. The taper of the DLL-C67MLRST1s is a bit different from a variable taper. It's a taper where fast and regular coexist, so to speak. Think of it as a regular taper that bends at the tip. Why did we want to create a regular taper that bends at the tip!? Because we wanted to create the wrist and fingertips. Think about it, try throwing a ball with your wrist fixed. You can't snap your wrist, you can't control it. The ball won't go far, and it will fly off in the wrong direction. By creating a wrist (fast) in a regular taper, the initial speed increases due to the snap, and the controllability is greatly improved. The fingertips (extra fast) allow you to feel the vibration of the lure even at slow speeds, and also to feel the contact with the structure, allowing for a slow, deliberate trace and the ability to stop instantly upon contact. New Accessories include a bag. We will keep the warranty card due to personal information. If the rod is damaged within the warranty period (until December 2027), we will repair it if you pay the deductible + round-trip shipping costs. Free Shipping (Shipping for rods costs at least 2,500 yen and can be as high as 6,000 yen. This is a much better deal than cash on delivery, where the shipping costs are uncertain.) (We are very sorry, but for Hokkaido, Okinawa, and some remote islands, we ask for an additional 3,000 yen. Shipping costs have increased significantly, and we cannot accommodate this.) We ask that you notify us within 2 days of receiving the item. A phone number is required when creating the shipping label for rods. We only ask that you provide this information.
