DEFI MUTHOS SONIO

The original rockshore rod, for anglers who seek the finest quality

We released our first rockshore rod over 20 years ago. MUTHOS was developed to satisfy the most dedicated anglers who are passionate about shore fishing for big fish. Because there was no rod specifically for this purpose, we explored new rods and fishing methods through a series of trial and error, making numerous prototypes and testing them many times. We avoided flashy designs and removed all unnecessary parts to focus on the essence of our ambitious ideas. The result of this long process was MUTHOS, a genuinely useful rockshore rod.

MUTHOS Sonio

The handling of a light rod with the power of a rockshore rod

Powerful rods are necessary for targeting big fish, but they can’t handle light lures perfectly.  Medium-class rods are good for light lures around 10g, but they lack the strength to fight big targets. The main concept behind MUTHOS Sonio 100M was the need to overcome this issue. We finally created the ideal rod blank based on the MUTHOS Accura and many field tests. The Sonio 100M casts and controls 10g to 100g lures like a medium-class spinning rod with a sensitive, soft tip, yet it displays the exceptional power of a real rockshore rod when fighting big targets.

MUTHOS Accura

A rockshore rod that overturns common wisdom

Although this is a heavy-duty rod, we designed it so you can keep fishing for a long time thanks to its perfect flexibility that causes less muscle strain. It’s gentle on your body—from jig and plug control to casting—and is bendy enough to fight big fish.

Tip: magic tip

This rod has a magic tip with an exquisite balance that can only be achieved through feedback from real anglers, and matches a very wide range of jigs and plugs. Casting capability is particularly increased when you use a light plug, and the tip works very well for hooking short bites.

Belly: front part

The well-balanced elastic belly handles jig and plug resistance and increases lure usability. The belly section also absorbs shock from powerful fish reactions.

Belly: rear part

Beyond simple stiffness, high repulsion and torque provide easy control and good tension. This special belly also improves casting distance.

Butt: flexible, strong butt

The Accura 100H provides the power range of the previous HH class, while the Accura 100HH has the power of the HHH class, so you can aim for larger fish. This strong butt is not rigid or hard; it has enough rod curve to achieve high performance with minimum physical exhaustion. The maximum lure weight has also been increased.

MUTHOS Duro

The Duro series, featuring sharper rod action, is designed for experts. We developed it focused on the concepts of casting capability, lure controllability, and fight control. The highly elastic blank can overcome many difficult situations.

Blank

While this powerful rod is capable of handling large plugs over 200g, it also inherits the unique and versatile lure compatibility of the MUTHOS Accura series to handle lures as small as 16 centimeters. We created the best, most practical blank with parts that complement and enhance each other. The magic tip increases casting and maneuvering capabilities for light lures; the midsection unleashes its full potential while casting and fighting fish; and the strong, flexible butt supports long, fierce fights.

The Duro 100H Pencil is a very special rod that gives life to and maximizes the usability of diving pencils. The most difficult challenge in developing this model was achieving two essential factors that must be combined to control this type of lure: a super-soft tip for accurate diving and a stiff butt to drag lures with high water resistance. We finally came up with the ideal rod action after producing numerous test rods.

Accura 100H Baitcasting model
Heavy-duty baitcasting rod

• Length: 10'0" / Lure: 30-200g(Jig) 30-120g(Plug) / PE Line: MAX 5

The MUTHOS Accura with an evolved, heavy-duty baitcasting reel opens up new rockshore fishing potential. Rockshore baitcasting models have been used for targeting big fish and taking on tougher situations with thick braided lines. However, recently there are lightweight, easy-to-use baitcasting reels on the market that have enough power to catch big targets. Unlike the heavy baitcasting tackle of the past, the MUTHOS Accura100H can control PE2 to PE4 line systems without any stress and also fight fish weighing more than 10 kilograms. It’s highly versatile so you can use several types of 30g to 200g lures and the latest baitcasting reels for a new style of rockshore fishing.

Advantages of new baitcasting tackle
・A lighter reel weight than big spinning reels provides easy lure action and handling with less fatigue.
・New baitcasting reels have almost the same line capacity as the Shimano 8000 or Daiwa 4500 classes.
・Easily use new rockshore techniques like slow-pitch jigs.
・Baitcasting reels have more power than spinning reels, providing advantages while fighting and retrieving fish.
・The long shock-leader system is easier to use than spinning tackle.
