In todays video, we are geeking over some amazing Japanese swimbait rods from DRT called the Artex Series! My good friend Kazuki has an entire set of all 6 Artex rods and he breaks down each one and tells us the specifics of the rods! As a JDM fan and huge DRT fanboy, getting to see and fish these rods were a dream!

Top 5: Best Fishing Rod for Bass Fishing In 2025 ๐ฃ [ Top Picks for Ultimate Performance ]")
Geoff, great stuff. Can you list up the specs on the rod that you discuss at the 8:00 mark at the end of the video? Since I can't find it anywhere and I don't live in Japan, I'd really like to spec out something close from North Fork Composites.
These rods are like rare Samurai swords damn!
I want the border patrol or the r2 rod but damn out of my price range. Iโll keep using my irod genesis 3.
I love DRT baits but what's the point to presenting these rods that only some very few lucky individuals can eventually get? It's just like they do not exist. I would definitely pay the retail on an ADX, but 3 to 4 times the msrp is insane, more than the price of a small s/h car. I own 3 DRT x Tulala Remix rods, they were expensive as hell coming off the black market in Japan, but these Artex prices set by scalpers are just ridiculous.
Hello bro.
Is "hacker" ok to use "lunker punker"?
is it suitable for wtd
Can I lift 1kg of fish from the ground?
Those rods Going for 7000 dollars on eBay right now that is rediculous
Where can I buy an Artex rod?
Take my money ๐
Glad to see how far you've come young Jedi, much โค๏ธand success on your journey. ๐๐๐
WTF
I'm just trying to wrap my head around why DRT puts EVA foam on a $549 rod?????
I saw DRT USA had some rods last spring. Think weโll see some more next year?
Question, do you prefer the fat or the slim knobs???
What NFC blank does DRT use?
Thanks for posting. Cool to get the lowdown on the lineup.
Good to hear that KZ and his fam are all gonna be fine after that little health scare.
Iโll take 2 right now!
Those rods cost around 2000-3000 USD used on Japan auction site. That is ridiculous. I love DRT stuff and I really want those rods, but damn are they hard to get. No, they are impossible to get!
Good job kazuki!
Nice set up…Where can I buy that handle you have on the pulse/Antares reel?
wish i would have grabbed a talula couple months back
Man that would be sick to get to use those rpds with DRT BAITS. After loving to fish since childhood and being ate up with bass fishing for the past 6-7 years i have 2 dedicated swimbaot setups. One for treble hook baits and another for big plastic swimbaits and I find myself buying less conventional tackle and more big baits and unique baits. U blame you bruh.. lol keep the content rolling!
Ahhhhh onnnnnnnnnnnnneeeeeeeee dayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy…
Ugh I wish I could own one. I love the handles.
Would love to have but no way Id pay 8 or 900 for any rod just way too much love the video awesome to see Cheers!! :))
Love DRT's products just wish it was a little easier to get. Another great video and hope KZ gets his channel going soon.
What's the lure called on the hacker rod???
Sick
Beautiful rods, great breakdown on the lineup. ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ
Make a trip out to CA during that fall striper run. we'll kick ass
Hi i'm korean
๐คค๐คค๐คค
Cool. So, even if you could "overnight parts from Japan" (Get it?…), how much do these rods run?
Asking for a friend.
Life goals๐
