2025 JUSTACE × MPG Blanks – Limited Edition Collaboration

Celebrating the 2025 Yokohama & Osaka Fishing Shows, JUSTACE and MPG Blanks have collaborated to create exclusive custom rods featuring elegant Japanese-inspired designs.

The popular Headquarters Standing Bout 173ST and 183S models combine premium performance with traditional Japanese aesthetics.

The 183S also features an upgraded IGRBSG butt guide for enhanced performance.

183S TYPE-2: Limited Edition Blue & Gold – Big Game Fishing Rod

A special limited-edition version of this highly popular big-game rod, featuring an elegant Japanese-inspired blue and gold colour scheme.

Designed for both standing fights and rod-holder-assisted (keeper) fights, this versatile rod offers outstanding flexibility and power when targeting large, hard-fighting species.

Built with a 100% MPG material ULDP blank system, the rod features a classic 7:3 action that develops a smooth, parabolic bend under load. This allows the rod to distribute pressure progressively throughout the blank, providing excellent shock absorption and controlled power transfer during intense fights.

Its versatile design allows anglers to switch from standing fights to keeper-assisted fights when fatigue sets in, making it an excellent all-round rod for demanding big-game fishing.

With exceptional lifting strength, powerful butt torque and excellent resilience under heavy loads, this No. 3 action model is designed to pull large amberjack, yellowtail kingfish (Hiramasa) and bottom-dwelling species away from rocky structures.
