Bamboo Rod

This is the last of three bamboo rods I owned.
I have used it about five times.
Some areas in the photos may appear to be scratches, but this is due to light reflection.
I have re-examined it.
I have never placed it directly on stones or hit it against branches while fishing.
I have previously listed two bamboo rods, and both buyers were very pleased. This will be my last bamboo rod listing.
This rod is 6 feet 6 inches long with 2 tips.
Listings with 2 tips are quite rare.
It is set up for a 4-weight line.
The rod did not originally come with a rod holder.
I used it because it fit into a Campanella hard rod holder.
It feels easier to insert and remove compared to metal holders.
This rod is made slender and is a short rod, so it is light and feels less tiring to cast all day. One of the two tips was consciously not used, and there are no visible signs of line wear on the guides, so I believe it is likely unused.
It provides peace of mind to have a spare tip in case of any unexpected trouble during fishing.
This rod has a very beautiful焼き目 (yaki-me -焼き目 refers to a scorched or toasted appearance, often a deliberate aesthetic treatment in bamboo crafts).
The builder is from Yamanashi Prefecture, and I fell in love with it the moment I saw it.
I purchased it at a fly shop in Tokyo.
I often fish in areas with overhanging trees, and because this is a short rod, it is easy to cast and less likely to snag the line on trees or hit the tip against branches, making it very convenient. However, as it is an expensive rod, I only used it in fields with a high degree of safety.
Regarding the rod action, in my opinion, it has the suppleness and stiffness unique to bamboo, making it easy to cast accurately to the target.
Also, because it is a short rod, I did not use a long leader.
The 19th photo shows an image with a reel attached.
The reel is not part of the product for sale, so please be aware of this.
For your reference,
About six months ago,
When I called the store owner about this product, he mentioned that purchasing a rod with the same specifications now would cost close to 200,000 yen.
For those interested in bamboo rods, please consider this offer.
Thank you.
