It's a natural bamboo rod, approximately 3.0m long, with a closed length of about 1.6m, and includes a reel seat. It's handmade by Wakao Kobo Yoshida. The tip is incredibly flexible, as shown in the photos. The guides are small, which I think makes it good for drop-shot fishing. I think it would be great for boat goby fishing, black sea bream fishing, etc. I'm selling it because it's been sitting unused in my closet since I bought it.
