Shimano J Asquith J1408 Fly Rod 14ft #8

Shimano・G.Loomis Asquith J1408 14'0 #8

This rod was created by fusing G.Loomis's long-cultivated fly rod expertise, Steve Rajeff's casting theory, and Shimano's advanced rod technology.
As a result of joint development with G.Loomis, it offers excellent line control and exceptional long-distance casting performance.

It has an action that allows for accurate casting, whether overhead or Spey.

The rod's length allows for easy handling of sinking lines, making it ideal not only for medium to large rivers but also for sea fishing.

Recommended line weight is 450 grains, with a range of 400-500 grains.

The rod is surprisingly light, weighing only 195g.

You won't feel the 14-foot length at all; it feels like holding a low-line-weight double-handed rod.

The slim, high-density blank is less affected by wind, producing a stable loop even in adverse conditions.

How about this for the upcoming season?
Purchased in April last year and used a few times for lake fishing.
Selling because I primarily fish with a single-hand rod and no longer use this one.
I may use it while it's listed. If I decide to keep it, I will cancel the listing.
The item will be in its cleanest condition shortly after being listed (2026.04.05).

Please feel free to comment if you have any questions. Thank you.
