The WHIP TWITCH offers the versatility to target a variety of trout species across many fields. From small minnows to heavier offerings, the high modulus blank delivers crisp feel and whip-quick recovery, allowing for long, accurate casts and precise angler action. Its subtle tip can handle lighter presentations without the wobbling tip-shake that often accompanies casts and rod work with lower-grade carbon builds. Muscular blanks bring the fight to large trout, with torque and lifting power that belies their thin frame. The WHIP TWITCH’s size balances distance and accuracy in tight spaces, offering a wide-ranging versatility that will earn its keep in countless mountain streams.

The GREAT HUNTING line offers a diverse range to meet the requirements of the trek and the target water.

Engineered with cutting-edge technology for trout games, GREAT HUNTING rods boast high-torque, slender blanks that deliver exceptional casting accuracy, sensitivity and precision. The ultra-lightweight titanium frame SiC guides ensure minimal resistance and angler fatigue, enabling seamless retrieves and precise line control. The exquisite natural wood inlayed reel seats, meticulously crafted for ergonomic comfort, complete the aesthetic and functional appeal of these rods. GREAT HUNTING stands at the frontier of premiere trout angling, connecting us more deeply to the life-changing experiences that lie in wait in wild waters.
In the early 90s, GREAT HUNTING swept through the Japanese trout market with the X-70 Trout, the world’s thinnest trout minnow equipped with a weight transfer mechanism, and X-55 Trout, the world’s first injection trout minnow under 60mm. These were crafted specifically for native trout such as the masu salmon in the Tenryu River and the char and amago hiding in the valleys of the central Japan mountains.
This relentless dedication captured the hearts of many native trout enthusiasts and fed the nascent waters of trout lure fishing that grows and continues to this day. The MOUNTAIN STREAM EDITION, a quarter-century later, still pursues true GREAT HUNTING at a higher dimension. Carrying the specs of a new generation, it creates an entirely new native trout game.

To the main river and to the lakes. The passionate thoughts dedicated to native trout are brought to life with cutting-edge rod technology and artisanal craftsmanship.
