For monsters
Challenging 300kg-plus Bluefin Tuna.
Gouki & BALSAM Now Available.
Battling giant bluefin tuna is not just fishing; it's an extreme game that tests an angler's physical strength, mental fortitude, experience, and tackle to their limits. In recent years, "300kg-plus" tuna have become a reality in offshore areas like Izu Oshima. To maintain the upper hand against their overwhelming power, the ultimate weapons are now available for purchase.
GOUKI Monster Tuna Series
Gouki, a pioneer in big game live bait rods, has poured its fully integrated in-house manufacturing technology into this monster casting and jigging series.
The unique stickiness inherent in glass material reduces the burden on the angler while delivering powerful torque (restorative force) to stop the violent turns of giant fish. This rod is crafted for victory, with no compromises.

BALSAM 245: Limited Stock
The monster tuna specific lure "BALSAM 245," which converts the power absorbed by the rod into pressure on the fish, arrived in very limited quantities on March 8th.
With the unique water bite of wood material and an overwhelming presence, it delivers an unparalleled action that drives 300kg-plus targets wild. Due to limited stock, please consider it early.
Each Balsam is painted only after passing buoyancy inspection. It boasts an astonishing buoyancy tolerance of 78 grams. Even with large hooks attached (lure alone), it is a unique lure that floats vertically.
Field Report & Attention
The smaller the monster's feeding bait, the more the lure makes a difference. In the Izu area's 10cm anchovy pattern, we received an astonishing answer from monsters with 40 bites for 3 people.
Unfortunately, the fish were too big! We were unable to land them after hookup. Further trial and error is needed to target 300+ kg tuna with casting. This "High-Flow Balsam" is especially effective when regular lures aren't getting bites.
Challenge The Monster.
For those with resolve, Gouki and Amberjack continue to create serious tools.
