■ This is the third generation model of Shimano's "Shumonho" series of crucian carp rods, which were manufactured and sold. It was released around 1985 and is now discontinued. The rod is made by wrapping carbon tape in an X-shape, which appears as a pattern on the rod's surface. Instead of hiding it, the rod has a slightly thick coat of paint and is polished to a beautiful finish, giving it a sense of weight. ■ This rod has been stored for a long time since I stopped crucian carp fishing. Although it is an old rod, it is a tip-action, slightly stiff carbon rod that can handle the strong pull of crucian carp. The rod's action depends on personal preference, but I think it is an easy-to-use and good rod. ■ The grip shows some signs of use, and there are a few fine cracks along the cotton thread wrapping near the center. Also, the gap between the butt cap and the cotton thread wrapping has been repaired (Photos 6 and 7). There are no noticeable scratches, cracks, or paint peeling on the ferrule/mouth/tip/lilian, and apart from the grip, the rod is in very good condition overall, from the hand to the tip. ■ Includes the original mouth plug and rod bag. The rod bag has some stains and spots, and the bottom has been sewn and repaired where it was torn, making it slightly shorter (Photos 11 and 12). ■ Main Specifications (Measured Values/Reference) ・ Manufacturer: Shimano SHIMANO ・ Product Name: Shumonho Nukesaku ・ Total Length: 3.97m ・ Number of Sections: 4 ・ Closed Length: 108.5cm ・ Weight: 78g ・ Tip Diameter/Butt Diameter: 1.1mm/8.5mm 【Bonus】 Although it may be unnecessary for children, I will include a flexible and short telescopic rod as a bonus. ■ Telescopic Nobe Rod: Glass rod? 7 shaku (Closed length/approx. 80cm, Weight/approx. 46g, No mouth plug, temporary cap, rod bag has stains/spots) ★ About Packaging ★ I will reuse used cardboard boxes, but I will pack them so that they do not cause any discomfort in appearance.
