CAIYEN VSM

Fishing rod

Megabass Inc.

As Japan’s traditional squid-fishing culture fades with its aging practitioners, CAIYEN VSM revives it as a modern, accessible sport. Fusing advanced rod engineering with ergonomic precision, it allows anyone to feel the subtle pulse of deep-sea life. Inspired by Urushi-nuri lacquer artistry, its sculpted form embodies the union of craft and technology—transforming heritage into high-performance design for a new generation of anglers.
