DAMIEN is built for precision-heavy games, such as technical frog fishing and heavyweight lures requiring intensive angler input and control. Its triple-six configuration embodies a new golden ratio—a power spec designed purely for dominant heavy action.
The 6’6” length improves rod handling and casting accuracy, enabling pinpoint casts deep into thick cover. Its F6 power class gives it the muscle to dissect complex structure and accurately probe tight zones with baits like the MAGDRAFT series, i-SLIDE 187R, and i-WING135, where cast precision is crucial.
The MX40 Super Titanium Hybrid Shaft brings surprising lightness and responsive control to even the heaviest lures, enhancing the fine-tuned performance needed to trigger bites. Its abundant torque overpowers even the most determined fighters.
Despite its shorter length, this 6’6” super titanium shaft outcasts many 7’ carbon rods, enabling seamless, long-distance casts with minimal fatigue. Designed for expert anglers who demand absolute control over big baits and close-quarter casting, DAMIEN offers intuitive handling and exceptional accuracy—a new breed of high-powered performance.
A righteous demon blade, forged in the disciplined madness of the unrelenting craftsman.
Originally built on the flagship blanks and mandrels of the Megabass Destroyer, ITO Engineering achieved a groundbreaking advancement by implanting titanium fibers within the original Destroyer’s carbon graphite layers, opening the door to an entirely new dimension of rod engineering.
Each Evoluzion iteration distinguished itself clearly from the ultra-high modulus original Destroyer, gaining a supple, torque-rich character defined by titanium’s uniquely responsive elasticity. This innovation perfectly embodied the sophisticated ergonomics demanded by professional anglers enduring lengthy tournament battles.
Now, 25 years after its debut, ITO Engineering introduces a completely reimagined titanium blanks format, meticulously crafted to adapt to the increasingly diverse demands of contemporary and future bass fishing methods and techniques.
Utilizing ultra-low-resin, high-modulus MX40 carbon graphite, intricately combined with fine micro-titanium fibers made from shape-memory super titanium, this revolutionary composite achieves unprecedented tensile strength. The result: a dynamically evolved new titanium composite shaft, boasting over 17% greater bending capacity and exhibiting a robust fusion of rigidity and resilient flexibility.
Enhanced shape-memory properties of the super titanium amplify vibration transmission with a metallic sharpness, enriching the torque-responsive shaft with heightened sensitivity.
In essence, the latest Evoluzion dramatically elevates “underwater clarity,” significantly expanding versatility in fast-moving presentations while simultaneously delivering a high-tension, decisive hook-setting experience for heavy cover and deep-water scenarios such as jigs and Texas rigs—an entirely new evolution for the Evoluzion legacy.
ITO Engineering’s long-refined Human Tackle Interface (HTI), based on multidimensional ergonomic theories, now materializes through innovative components like the NEW Slant Bridge (PAT.P) and Head Locking System (PAT.), ensuring ultimate comfort in every angling movement. Crafted explicitly for effortlessly capturing monsters, these breakthroughs symbolize the craftsman’s virtuous madness shaping today’s demon blade.
The new Evoluzion is forged for the dawn of a new fishing era.
Within its sleek blank hides groundbreaking technology, an emerging legend in its own right. Combining ultra-low-resin, high-elasticity MX40 carbon graphite fibers with high-density, shape-memory Super Titanium microfibers, this composite achieves extraordinary tensile strength and unparalleled resilience under load. For powerful casting, lure control, and tough fights, it offers unmatched flexibility and strength.
Meanwhile, in delicate applications—when subtle line tension is key to sensing underwater nuances—its heightened vibration transmission provides exceptional sensitivity and clarity. This new standard in fishing performance broadens your offensive strategies, comfortably enabling a diverse range of tactics.
Developed from Yuki Ito’s latest HTI (Human Tackle Interface) concept, the new Head Locking System is a multi-axis structure precisely machined from a solid block of high-strength aluminum.
This specialized construction prioritizes comfort, strength, and vibration transmission. When securing the reel, it dramatically increases blank rigidity at the reel seat, delivering intuitive, precise rod handling and maximum performance.
The Slant Bridge by ITO Engineering expands wrist mobility, making it effortless to perform underhand, backhand, and acute-angle, one-handed casts into tight, complex cover. Machined from a solid block of high-strength aluminum, its asymmetric, drilled-hole design enhances balance and speeds up casting movements, creating an optimal feel in the tip section. Additionally, it doubles as an extension grip, allowing anglers to comfortably handle intense battles single-handedly—perfectly embodying ergonomics optimized for sport-fishing.
The ITO Full Palming Seat ergonomically accommodates any grip style—one-finger, two-finger, or full-palming—with seamless comfort and intuitive confidence. Designed to achieve perfect integration with the reel, extending even into the hood section, it enhances direct blank contact for exceptional sensitivity. Whether under low or high stress, the IFPS drastically improves grip stability and rod handling. Developed through advanced Human Tackle Interface (HTI) ergonomics, it provides a uniquely natural and versatile grip for competitive angling scenarios.
Created by Yuki Ito, the Airy-Fit Ergonomic Seat focuses on minimalist contact points between the angler’s hand, the reel, and the blank. Born from exhaustive motion analysis of top anglers globally, its uniquely split design dramatically reduces weight and provides a natural, direct grip—maximizing sensitivity to vibrations transmitted through the shaft. This intuitive palming style effortlessly accommodates one, two, three, or full-finger grips, ensuring precise rod control and optimal touchpoints for pure competition-level angling performance.
The Ergonomic-Contact Seat incorporates a fast-back contour that comfortably nestles deep into your palm, enabling a natural, effortless hold without the need to grip too tightly. Designed for spinning reels, it provides stress-free comfort across a variety of movements. Its lightweight, airy structure exposes the rod blank directly to your hand, significantly enhancing the detection of subtle bites, especially critical in deep finesse fishing scenarios.
Each Evoluzion rod is individually designed and built. The titanium guide system is custom tailored per model, and its ultra-light thread work applies only the minimum thread necessary to protect the guide foot—executed by the master craftsmen of Megabass.
The result is a high-grade, lightweight, and resilient thread wrapping unique to the Evoluzion series.
