Anglo & Co. (also styled Anglo & Company) is a boutique rod shop in Setagaya, Tokyo, that builds handmade trout rods one at a time. Blanks and major parts are produced in Japan, hand-wrapped, and serial-numbered, with the shop favoring small-volume runs over mass production. The line covers three disciplines: bait-finesse trout on baitcasting tackle, spinning trout, and tenkara fixed-line. The bait-finesse rods are the core of the catalog, built for headwater and 源流 streams where short snap-casts and accurate placement matter more than distance.
Materials are chosen by tier and often vary section by section within a single blank. The Paragon G series uses UD glass, unidirectional glass-fiber cloth whose vertical fibers are likened to bamboo for light weight and sensitivity. The BORON families layer E-glass and low-modulus carbon with boron in the butt for landing power. Graphite rods such as BORON+Paragon run Toray multi-modulus carbon, 24t tip through 30t mid to a 40t-and-boron butt. The Supreme line is hand-planed Tonkin bamboo, the most expensive rods in the catalog. Builds carry Torzite titanium guides (LRV) and Portuguese cork.
The signature Mizuide Edition rods are a collaboration with trout-bum angler Junichi Mizuide (水出準一), offered as limited custom versions of series such as G+imp. and Paragon G with details like spiral guide settings. Anglo & Co. positions itself as a specialist trout maker for anglers who want a hand-built blank tuned to a specific stream rather than a production rod.
What Anglo & Co. is known for
Bait-finesse trout rods are the focus, led by the UD-glass Paragon G as the playful entry point and BORON+Paragon as the broadest graphite series, from finesse to big-trout. Heritage covers Hokkaido and overseas trophy trout, while the Tonkin bamboo Supreme line and the WASABI, KOWASA, and Honryu WASABI carbon tenkara rods round out the range. Buyers cross-shop Huerco for packable multi-piece travel rods, Valkein and Mukai for area and native-trout finesse, and Smith for established JDM trout and stream tackle. Anglo sits at the small-batch, custom-order end of that group.
