磯竿 size 3 has a certain degree of stiffness and thickness, making it suitable for live bait fishing, which requires power. In addition, fishing methods that take advantage of the length of the磯竿 include sabiki fishing and long-distance basket fishing. It has various advantages, such as being able to search a wide range of depths and cast to distant points. There is some rust on the top guide (see photo), but it does not affect use. Thank you for looking.
