Thank you for viewing. This is a Daiwa Rokka-sen 17-shaku. The smooth, lustrous exterior finish, achieved through 12 processes, gives it a unique appearance. I especially liked this chrome-plated finish, as it's unlike anything else. It's a tip-action, hard-tip rod that combines lightness and power. The original metal collar on the tip was difficult to use, so I had it replaced with a NISSIN rotating tip at a fishing tackle shop. The metal collar was carefully removed, and a perfectly sized rotating tip was installed, so the overall length of the rod hasn't changed. The grip has the characteristic deterioration (linear cracks) of this rod, but it can certainly still be used as is. The stopper and rod bag are all original. I've cherished this rod for many years. I'm looking for someone who appreciates the value of this rod and will use it. I look forward to your purchase. Please feel free to comment if you have any questions. *I have used this rod with care for many years, so there are scratches associated with normal use, mainly on the butt section and the upper butt section, but there are no cracks at the mouth. The photo on the 8th page shows the largest scratch, but it can be used without any problems. I used it about twice a year until last year. Please check the photos and only purchase if you understand. Type of fish... Crucian carp
