Hotei bamboo For use as a rod for hole fishing or boat goby fishing, we recommend making your own rod by cutting off one of the nodes at the tip to adjust it to your preferred stiffness. The bamboo is tapered from the handle, with well-aligned nodes and a tip-heavy action. We refer to the sides of the bamboo as "ura" and "omote." We will mark the bamboo with a magic marker, so please build the rod with the marked side facing up. This way, the rod should not bend when you catch a fish. We will also include bamboo for the joint. The photo shows a 10-go weight attached. We also accept orders for shipping after cutting (half cut, four-six cut). In that case, we can ship via Mercari便 for 1700 yen. This will be at your own expense, so please consult with us before purchasing. Handle 12mm, tip 2mm, length 187cm RNO28
