I used this for main-stream cherry salmon fishing. I believe the manufacturer's suggested retail price was 29,800 yen. It's a rod with a beautiful wood grip. With its small-diameter guides, it's more suited for PE lines than nylon. It's ideal for minnowing with floating minnows. It feels softer than a Daiwa M, and similar to a Shimano ML, but with a more mid-action feel than Shimano. However, it's not like a Ueda rod. Buying fishing rods in bulk is a good deal. Depending on the size, a significant discount is possible. Please feel free to consult with me, and I will do my best to accommodate you.
