A high-performance tenkara rod has been completed after a comprehensive review and redesign of materials, blank design, and component selection from scratch. The blanks are designed to achieve pinpoint accuracy in casting, with a supple and responsive feel. Furthermore, the BAT (bottom section) incorporates high-density 4-axis carbon that is resistant to twisting and quickly restores its shape, boasting impressive impact resistance and design aesthetics.
The grip is designed in a gourd shape using premium cork for easy handling, and the bottom end is rounded to fit comfortably in the hand while fishing, ensuring a stress-free fishing experience. The rod comes in two actions, 6:4 and 7:3, with lengths available in 320mm, 360mm, 400mm, and 450mm, totaling 8 items. This allows anglers to choose the optimal rod based on their preferences and main fishing locations.
This top-tier tenkara rod, bearing the name "Zero-Sum," has been crafted without compromise in blanks, component selection, and design.
----- About Rod Action -----
The expressions "6.4 action", "7.4 action", and "8.2 action" are used to indicate the performance and characteristics of fishing rods. They are typically expressed in a format of "number:number".
For example, "6.4 action" indicates the balance of flexibility and stiffness along the length of the rod. Specifically, it means that the upper part (toward the tip) of the rod bends about 60% of the total length, while the lower part (toward the base) retains about 40% of its stiffness. This type of rod is well-suited for light fish and small rivers, offering flexibility that allows for smooth casting and fish fighting.
Similarly, "7.4 action" means that the upper part of the rod bends approximately 70% of the total length, while the lower part retains about 30% stiffness. Rods with this action are commonly used in tenkara fishing and fly fishing. The flexible upper section makes it easy to handle the line softly, enabling smooth casting and fish fighting. The rod's flexibility also allows for quick adaptation to sudden fish movements and easy adjustment of line tension during fights.
A "7.4 action" rod is versatile, suitable for medium-sized fish and various fishing environments, making it popular among a wide range of anglers. Choosing the right rod depends on the fishing style and environment, but rods with this action are generally considered user-friendly for a variety of fishing applications.
Lastly, "8.2 action" indicates that the upper part of the rod bends about 80% of the total length, while the lower part retains about 20% stiffness. This type of rod is suitable for targeting large fish in big rivers. The flexible upper section provides the necessary flexibility to handle fish fights effectively, while the stiff lower section efficiently transfers power. This allows the angler to handle strong fish while maintaining control over casting and maneuvering.
An "8.2 action" rod is relied upon for targeting big fish and in situations where power is required. However, the balance between flexibility and power is distinctive, and the choice of the right rod depends on the angler's skill level and preferences.
