Gamakaz started out as a fish hook maker, with a 70-80% share of the Japanese market, but it was the fishing rod that really established its image as a luxury product, which sold at a high price and never sold at a reduced price. Although the flagship products of Dayiwa and Shimano are often in the tens of thousands, there are often year-end promotions and inventory clearance discounts, and consumers only need to wait for a year or two to buy at a more affordable price. And even if the rod of Gamma Kaz waits for three or four years, it is still the original price that cannot be beaten. At least for players who have purchased high-end fishing rods, they can find original spare parts for repairs within 10 years, and Dayiwa and Shimano, which are fast in product upgrading, do not have this "advantage".
Although Gamma Kaz has opened a trading company in Guangzhou, mainly engaged in the import and promotion of fishing tackle, and the anglers in the coastal provinces of China highly respect its rock fishing products, Gamma Kaz has not paid attention to this trend and still sticks to the position of Taiwan fishing rods.
Gamma Kaz only launched the Gamma carp and がまへら series of table fishing rods in the Chinese market, and the official claim is that it is specially designed for Chinese fishing grounds and fish conditions, but many domestic fishing fans question that this is a "special version". In order to save labor costs, Gamma Kaz has indeed transferred most of the entry-level rods to overseas production, but the production line for high-end products remains in Japan, while the Gamma carp and がまへら series are made in Japan, and the materials and craftsmanship should be more secure.
The gamma carp series is basically divided into two worlds: "Shoto" and "MARK". "MARK" fully demonstrates the luxury image of Gamma Kaz, and the highest price of MARK IV is about 12,000 yuan, but it does not add a refreshing rod-making process, and the selling point cannot support the price. The "Speed Fight" maintains a balance between price and performance, and the price of about 6,000 yuan is comparable to that of Dayiwa and Shimano's competitive poles. As the name suggests, the 3.9m fast fighting 39 Special is a good choice for competitive fishing if the rod is too long to be flexible enough and too short to cope with unexpected situations. However, in some demanding large fishing tournaments, the Speedfight 39 Special will not be allowed to play due to its long length. Anglers who often fight in black pits should first consider the speed fighting GOLD, which has been optimized in terms of shaft, hardness and operabilityblackPit stealing donkeys。
Interestingly, the most cost-effective product of Gamma Kaz does not come from the many members of the "Shoto" or "MARK" families, a title that was taken by supernumerary Gamma Koi Red. Its price is about 5200 yuan, the rod body is slender and lightweight, which helps to break up the pull of the fish. The "3H model" swings the rod accurately and smoothly, which is perfect for walking fish. The "4H model" specifically improves the rigidity of the handle and rod, and the fish picking speed is faster, so as not to give the hooked fish a chance to buffer. Among them, the 3.6m and 4.5m models are suitable for competitive fishing, and the 5.4m model is slightly larger in weight, which will be a little difficult to compete in, but the excellent waist strength and strong toughness make it the best choice for recreational fishing.
がまへら series only Yun Xiaotian and Xun Hui two products, the price is about 6000 yuan, the main selling point is the small diameter of the yuan, in the stinging fish and fish control is slightly lacking, but the rod body arc is beautiful, the feel is clear and clear, it is more suitable to play with fish.
Gamma Kaz's table rod is so durable that it is battle-tested before it is fully marketed, and the tonality is adjusted according to the tension of the fish when the fish is hit, which reduces the probability of running away from the fish, so some fans claim that it does not need to be "accommodating" the design of different fishing grounds and target fish. In fact, the fish conditions vary greatly from place to place, and it is no longer possible to "eat all over the world" with "one trick fresh". Dayiwa and Shimano launch new products every year, and also develop products for special fishing grounds and target fish in China, which directly enhances the fun of fishing. In contrast, Gamma Kaz appears to be somewhat conservative.
At present, there is no official flagship store of Gamma Kaz on the e-commerce platform, and the prices of Gamma Kaz fishing rods sold by ordinary sellers are uneven, and they may not be genuine, which affects the purchase experience of consumers. Part of this is due to Gamma Kaz, which has a lower profit margin on its fishing rods and no measures to protect its dealers, resulting in more imitations entering the market and increasing the cost for consumers to identify genuine products.
