This is a Gamakatsu Shiokibō 3 450mh fishing rod. I broke the tip about 3cm from the end when I knocked it over at home, and I've repaired it myself. There are absolutely no problems with its use. It's perfect for fishing for horse mackerel with a basket, for Japanese Spanish mackerel with a float, for casting sabiki, for short casting, and for bottom fishing from the breakwater. The length is just right, and you can make a full cast even in a narrow space. The tip is unfortunate, but I'd like to sell it to someone who understands. Those who have repaired a broken tip themselves should find this a good deal. Please ask if you have any questions.
