Going back a quarter century, the rod that boldly pioneered the 21st century bass scene is engraved in the hearts of experts who have been in the bass fishing world for a long time. It's name is Destroyer [Evoluzion]. Based on the blank mandrel of Megabass' flagship rod, Destroyer, ITO Engineering succeeded in developing a unique composite shaft by implanting titanium fiber into the carbon graphite layer of the original Destroyer. This opened the door to another world of rod engineering different from Megabass.
The successive Evoluzion rods have acquired a torqueful and flexible character with rich spring elasticity unique to titanium, which sets them apart from the original Destroyer with its ultra-high elasticity shaft. They have highly embodied the comfortable bass fishing ergonomics that professionals who fight long tours seek. 25 years after its debut, ITO Engineering has developed a new titanium blank format to realize highly versatile adjustability of methods and schemes in the increasingly diverse bass fishing of today and the near future.
Ultra-low resin, high modulus carbon graphite MX40 is densely synthesized with ultra-thin micro titanium fibers made of shape memory super titanium. A new titanium composite shaft has been created that has dynamically evolved to achieve an unprecedented extremely high tensile breaking strength, and can bend 17% more than ever before, demonstrating high rigidity and strong tenacity. Super titanium with enhanced shape memory properties exhibits high vibration transmission characteristics of a metal due to its high recovery performance. It gives "enhanced sensitivity" to a torqueful shaft that can be bent.
In other words, the new Evoluzion can expand the fast-moving game with improved "underwater resolution" to a wider range of areas, while also bringing a high-tension feel that is unlike any previous Evo, such as "hooking" heavy cover or deep with jigs and Texas rigs. Ito has been building the HTI (Human Tackle Interface) for many years, and has devised a number of the latest ergonomic parts, such as the NEW Slant Bridge (PAT.P) and Head Locking System (PAT.), which are shaped from his own ergonomics using multi-dimensional structural theory.
These were created to "comfortably catch monsters" in all angling movements. The healthy madness of the craftsman has forged the modern demon sword. The New Evoluzion will fully execute the cyber game.
F4.1/2-610ti ELSEIL
A refined second-coming of the original double-helix DTi ELSEIL, this latest model adopts a higher taper design and comprehensive upgrades, fully prepared to tackle a wider variety of conditions. In addition to ELSEIL’s renowned multi-performance capabilities, it now delivers crisper and more responsive lure control. The newly designed high-taper Super Titanium shaft reduces unwanted blank shake, enhancing sharpness, vibration damping, and sensitivity, thus achieving unparalleled underwater clarity and enabling next-level fast-moving lure presentations.
Furthermore, the ELSEIL now expands into finesse-oriented territories previously left uncharted by its predecessors, such as high-density softbaits and light-jigs. This new-era ELSEIL delivers crisp rod work that belies its length and introduces a new feel—simultaneously delicate, powerful, and sharp—far beyond longer conventional medium-heavy rods.
