I purchased this rod new last month and have only used it once at home, so it's practically new. I'm selling it because I primarily use bamboo rods. I've owned all lengths of the Tokusaku series (Itten, Ibuki), and the Futengen series (Doppo, Shikiko), but I think this one is the best. I went to a famous carp fishing specialty store today to buy a bamboo rod, but the Irohana was out of stock and they said the price would increase with the next shipment. It has never been used for fishing and comes as a full set with the original cardboard box and warranty. When it arrived, I felt like it was a little dirty, so I wiped it down with water and then a dry cloth, and dried it in the shade before putting it back in the box. This is a rare item, and you don't know when it will arrive, so it's first come, first served. The following is an excerpt from Shimano's website: A clear, soft action. Lightness with a deep flavor. The beautiful appearance that boasts the prestigious "Tokusaku" crown is a dignified flute-wrapped design. Generally, to enjoy the weight of a natural material like a bamboo rod, you need the physical strength to keep swinging the rod and careful attention to handling. Therefore, Shimano thought that the times were demanding a rod that could enjoy the fishing feel of the total Koya while taking advantage of the "lightness" that is a characteristic of carbon materials. That is the "clear, soft action" Tokusaku Irohana. The clarity is expressed through the high operability felt in each fishing action, It is thin and flexible, and has the characteristic of not delaying the hookset, so it is possible to catch many fish lightly without worrying about line breakage, especially in the cut-in fishing. And, while it is a soft action with the fun of bending the rod firmly, Due to the effects of Spiral X Core and power joints, it is finished as a rod that can be drawn while being held even if it is thin, It is a rod that allows you to smoothly bring in large crucian carp to the landing net without being played at hand. ● Model Number: 8 ● Total Length (m): 2.40 ● Joint Method: Parallel Joint ● Number of Joints (pieces): 3 ● Closed Length (cm): 87.2 ● Weight (g): - ● Tip Diameter (mm): 1.1 ● Butt Diameter (mm): 8.2 ● Carbon Content (%): 89.7 *The butt diameter shows the outer diameter directly above the grip.
