Selling to declutter. This is a collector's item that I have used and stored carefully, while maintaining it. It was made for me a long time ago, and I've used it several times, having it repaired and maintained. I also regularly maintain it with bamboo wax, and I think it's in good condition. Japanese fishing rods are expensive, costing around 3,000 to 15,000 yen per shaku (about 30 cm) depending on the maker, materials, and decorative finish. However, the transmission power of the bamboo fibers and the luxury of the lacquer finish provide a high level of satisfaction, making it hard to part with once you've used one. Rod Condition: There are no cracks or major scratches, and the bamboo has a nice aged look. There is no sagging, loss of stiffness, or extreme bending. The rod's action is medium-stiff, not the type that bends greatly like a willow. Joint Condition: Generally good for an item of this age. The ferrules are in a sturdy condition. (The black parts of the joints almost fully insert. There is some creaking.) Tip Condition: There are 2 tips. The lilian (line attachment) on the bamboo tip has been replaced. (It is a few centimeters shorter.) A custom-made glass solid tip is included. (Durable and does not develop a bend.) Target Fish: Versatile for crucian carp fishing, stream fish, gobies, etc. Size: Length: 4.5m Weight: 169g Number of Sections: 7 (2-piece storage) Closed Length: 60.5cm ✳️Please examine the images closely to assess the condition of the rod.
