I.T.O. ENGINEERING was founded several years ago as an independent design studio which works closely with Megabass, but also with other fishing tackle companies such as Daiwa and Fuji Guide, and the non-fishing industry as well. Headed by Yuki Ito who founded Megabass almost 20 years ago, I.T.O. Engineering focuses not only on industrial design but also research & development for future technology. The products developed by I.T.O. and manufactured by Megabass are in general more limited in terms of availability due to their nature.
