Smith Offshore Stick GTK

–

It’s like a strong spring.
A rod with strong elasticity,
the Offshore Stick GTK

The Offshore Stick GTK has a spring mode throughout the rod, with Kevlar on the tip and titanium fiber on the butt, with the apex of the bend as the contact point. This design creates an overwhelming casting distance with its powerful elasticity that instantly rebounds when casting, and when fighting or lifting, it has excellent self-restoring power that pulls in the fish even when the rod is just supporting it, reducing the angler’s energy loss.

Specification List

■ All models are 1-piece type
■ Blank material: GTK30-40 (30t+40t carbon + titanium fiber + Kevlar)
■ Guide: Fuji Sic guide for all models. Ocean guide setting

Development Concept

The Offshore Stick GTK, the successor to the original Offshore Stick GSS, is a high-elasticity, high-strength rod made of Smith’s original new material GTK (Graphite, Titanium & Kevlar) 30-40, which is made by winding a 30-ton + 40-ton graphite composite material in the same way as the WGJ and incorporating titanium and Kevlar.
Compared to the previous material, the GTK30-40 is 25% stronger and the rod diameter is about 9.5% thinner. In addition, the tip side is made of spiral-shaped Kevlar and the butt side is made of densely packed titanium, with the contact point being the apex of the bending during casting at the maximum allowable range (in this series, the guide above the butt guide), giving the entire rod a strong spring mode.

This new design allows the speed of repulsion caused by the strength of the load applied to the rod to follow the load in sync, so that when casting, the strong elasticity instantly repels the large load, creating an overwhelming flight distance. Also, when operating a lure, the load is light and the tip section returns slowly, so the weight of the lure can be comfortably placed on the rod.
On the other hand, when fighting or lifting, the rod has excellent self-restoring ability, taking advantage of the high repulsive force unique to the highly elastic material that attracts the fish just by supporting the rod, even reducing the angler’s energy loss.

The SJ model was tested mainly in the seas near Japan, and the GTK-74PG was tested mainly in the seas near Japan and the Maldives over a period of about two years.
