G-CRAFT's Seven-Sense TR "MID WATER" is part of the SEVEN-SENSE TR series, the flagship lineup of seabass spinning rods! The acronym TR stands for "Technical Response", and each model in the series is designed to provide an instant and precise reaction to the angler's input, allowing lightning-fast hooksets even on subtle bites, and razor-sharp lure control, even in pressured waters. All TR models are built using a composite of high-strength, low-resin carbon (30t, 40t, and up to 46t), resulting in lightweight yet ultra-responsive blanks. The perfect choice for anglers seeking a highly technical and balanced rod, offering maximum responsiveness and precision at every stage of the fishing action.
MWS-902-TR "Wading ZENGAKE Special" (MID WATER 90 TR)
The third generation of the MID WATER 902 "Wading ZENGAKE Special" represents the ultimate evolution of the MID WATER concept, the very model from which the entire SEVEN-SENSE philosophy was born. Specifically designed for technical wading applications, this version was developed to further enhance sensitivity, hook-setting speed and casting distance while dramatically reducing the overall weight of the blank. Thanks to the adoption of TORZITE guides and a newly refined blank structure, total weight has been reduced by over 19% compared to the previous generation, maintaining the same balance while significantly improving responsiveness and control. The butt section utilizes ultra high-modulus 46t carbon, capable of generating exceptional recovery speed while preserving the classic smooth "slow taper" progression that defines the MID WATER series. The "ZENGAKE" concept refers precisely to this ability to convert even the most subtle and nervous bites into immediate and secure hooksets, thanks to an extremely sensitive tip that works like a true "current sensor". The blank was engineered to provide maximum precision during lure control and complete fish management under load, drastically reducing the risk of losing fish even during prolonged fights. Designed for large rivers, estuaries, beaches, and technical wading environments, the MWS-902-TR is perfectly suited for 12g-16g minnows, 12g vibration lures and lightweight sinking pencils, while still maintaining enough hidden power to confidently control sea bass exceeding 5kg.
Components & Construction
- Fuji K titanium frame guides with ultra-lightweight TORZITE rings for unmatched sensitivity and smoothness;
- G-CRAFT CNC-machined carbon reel seat, extremely lightweight and adjustable (variable seat positioning system);
- Original G-CRAFT spigot joint, reinforced with plain weave carbon for a seamless curve and consistent blank response;
- High-density EVA grip, paired with the carbon reel seat for reduced weight and enhanced control;
- Blank built from high-modulus, low-resin carbon, with a 30t+40t tip and 30t+40t+46t butt structure for maximum responsiveness and strength.
Action & Performance
The MWS-902-TR features a highly technical slow taper action combined with extremely fast recovery speed, creating a unique balance between sensitivity, casting distance and hook-setting quickness. The ultra-sensitive tip works as a true "current sensor", allowing anglers to detect subtle flow variations, lure vibrations and nearly imperceptible bites typical of highly pressured fish. The extreme lightness of the blank and its advanced taper design significantly improve casting distance while maintaining absolute lure control throughout the retrieve. The blank loads progressively during the cast, allowing impressive distance even with lightweight lures such as sinking pencils, while still retaining enough power in the butt section to safely handle heavy vibration lures and big fish. The 46t carbon butt section greatly enhances hook-setting speed and fish control under load, drastically reducing the chance of losing fish while preserving the smooth progressive feel that defines the MID WATER concept. Optimized for 12g-16g minnows and 12g vibration lures, it remains extremely versatile across all technical wading applications.
Recommended fishing spots
Medium and large rivers, estuaries, strong current areas, beaches, shallow-water wading spots, large river mouths and technical coastal environments where long casting distance, current reading ability and precise lure control are essential.
Ideal lure weight
