Major Craft Days 360

Post by BARRAMANIAC » Wed Feb 01, 2023 1:39 pm

For those that are fans or following major craft the new range of Days 360 rods are expected to be available in March/April.
from what i can make out following youtube videos and using google translate they use their 5G blanks which supposedly are lighter and more powerful.

I'm following this as well. MC rods are good for the buck and they are using T1100G as main carbon material for this series from what I've learned.

Models appear to be limited though and most are shorter ones. 610M caster has my interest

I'll get a 6'6" MH for my heavy no sinker/scat baits. I love my 70X (non 360).

How much do you guys think these will cost? I haven't owned a Major Craft in many years, I think it was a Corzza. This one has my interest.

most of the information I have got from for the Days 360 is from majorcraft basstube on Youtube and following Taiyo Furuse on instagram. He is Major Craft Pro staff

I've been emailing Koichiro Hamano who is their overseas product manager for quite a while on when they were going to bring out an updated higher end bass rod. Seems this has been a long development process, he told me last year they were most likely planning on using their 5g blank for the new line and apparently this is it.

I like the newest days line as is, the 7' H rod is only 4oz and is wonderfully balanced. Sensitivity was good but not electric. I had the 5g blank "aji-do" ajing rod and that was an electric rod. Mixing the 2 together should be a very nice rod indeed.

It appears so, but fwiw the better blank, titanium framed guides and the few extra glamor pieces make it more like a reincarnated msx than than a days series rod.

I was thinkin' the same too. I wonder if they'll make other bass lines with the 5G blank similar to how they marketed the Benkei, Days, Speedstyle, etc. I was finally able to source a MS-X Limited after so long, so this is exciting news to me.

Was there something different or special about the msx limited blanks?

Not by any literature I could find. You we’re paying more for the torzite guides and extra bling with the limited. There were also a few different lengths available with the limited.

Man, the MSX is highly missed.
