Taiwan's coastal regions—east, south, west, north, and the outer islands—feature diverse environmental structures, from sandy beaches to rocky reefs and pebbly shores. This diversity is mirrored in the rich variety of fish species found in these areas. Aside from using bait for fishing, lures are a great alternative. Using lures eliminates the need for a fridge to store bait or the hassle of keeping live shrimp, making the fishing experience much more relaxed and convenient. The gear required is simple: a fishing rod, reel, and lures. Depending on the fishing environment, you can choose between hard or soft baits. In Taiwan's western coast, the most common methods involve using jigs and soft baits. Fish species in this area include black bass, grouper, red snapper, barramundi, flathead, blackfin jack, Japanese Spanish mackerel, queenfish, greater amberjack, and more. Depending on the season, you might also encounter higher-end species like barred mackerel, spotted Spanish mackerel, and fourfinger threadfin fish. If you're aiming for a wide variety of fish species, are the most suitable choice. Jigs mimic the movements of small fish, and their compact size and heavy weight make them excellent for long-distance casting, making each cast not only a fun challenge but also a hopeful pursuit of the catch.
When setting up for shore casting in saltwater, it's important to choose the fishing spot and target species, then select the appropriate rod length and power. For a versatile setup, a rod length between 7.5 feet and 8.5 feet is recommended, with a weight capacity of 30g-60g max. This type of rod usually has an R-action, providing great flexibility but may lack sensitivity. Sensitivity is crucial for shore casting in saltwater, especially when using jigs. The moment the jig hits the bottom, the subtle movements that occur as it sinks can attract fish. When the fish hits the bottom, a small jerk is often all it takes for the fish to bite. Without a sensitive rod, you might miss the bite, as there’s no clear feedback when the line loosens after the jig hits the bottom. For this reason, Valley Hunter II VH2S-724/855M is recommend. With a max weight of 30g and an R-F action, it features a sensitive tip that allows you to feel the jig's subtle movements. The moment the jig touches the bottom, you'll feel the rod tighten and loosen, ensuring you never miss an opportunity to hook the fish.
Valley Hunter II has undergone 8 years of rigorous testing and development, drawing on the developer's competitive experience and adapting to various harsh environments and fishing techniques. It is designed to perform in diverse settings, from holland's crap in Taiwan's streams to Japan's Lake Biwa for big bass, and the professional bass fishing competitions in the United States. To achieve superior sensitivity, fine-tuned operability, and the power to withstand the impact of big fish, Valley Hunter II utilizes cutting-edge carbon fabric and advanced rod-building techniques. The rod's action and power are optimized to handle more demanding fishing environments and advanced techniques. The developers compiled big data to fine-tune the rod's length and action to match different fishing methods. The rod blank is made from a blend of TORAY M40X and T1100G carbon materials, offering exceptional elasticity, strength, and sensitivity—three key attributes. The Fuji SIC guides provide both durability and strength, while the ergonomic casting handle is fitted with a spring-loaded, full-strength reel seat clamp, ensuring the reel is securely locked in place. The smaller grip and ergonomic design improve the rod's balance, reducing fatigue, while the hollow design increases contact area, enhancing sensitivity. The unique design makes the rod incredibly comfortable to hold, whether you're casting powerfully or performing delicate, precise techniques. Valley Hunter II is a versatile rod combining extreme craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology, offering an exceptional feel that helps you seize every crucial moment on the water. It is the perfect tool for both professional and recreational anglers, delivering unparalleled performance.

The rod utilizes TORAY M40X high-elasticity carbon fiber material, through a blended weaving process, achieves a perfect balance of high strength and high elasticity. This allows the rod to maintain significant flexibility while offering exceptional stretch and impact resistance. It embodies the "three highs": high sensitivity, high strength, and high elasticity. Additionally, the rod features an adjustable length, allowing anglers to modify its length according to the fishing environment, maximizing its versatility and making it a highly adaptable tool for various fishing scenarios. This innovative design is definitely something to look forward to, offering exceptional performance and versatility for all types of fishing.
This is a specially developed jig designed for strong currents and deep-sea fishing. The overall design is slightly elongated, with a flat-cut side that helps stabilize the swimming action during slow jigging. On the opposite side, the triangular shape allows the jig to cut through the current more effectively, reducing turbulence and increasing its descent speed. The concave groove design at the rear of the jig provides high stability during the retrieve, preventing erratic movements and enhancing its ability to move horizontally. This design is particularly effective for targeting deep-sea bottom-dwelling species, especially those that are difficult to catch with traditional jigs. It excels in tackling fish species that other jigs struggle to attract.
Building on the outstanding performance of the SITENKIBA series, we have designed SITENKIBA III to allow anglers to precisely deliver the jig to the desired location. This jig is especially effective in attracting bottom-dwelling fish, thanks to its refined design. The shape has been slightly narrowed compared to the first and second generations, reducing resistance during retrieval and making the movement smoother. The jig's stability during descent is greatly improved, minimizing erratic drifting. It is a jig that offers exceptional bite response, making it an excellent choice for targeting fish with precision and efficiency.
