Brightliver is a Japanese maker of gripless topwater bass rods. Its blanks are glass or glass-carbon composite, roughly 5 to 6 feet, that end in a metal champion-style ferrule instead of a fixed handle, so the angler mounts their own grip. They are built for topwater bass with wood and plastic plugs from about 1/4 to 3 oz. Brightliver names rods with a four-digit code: the first digit is the blank material (1 = glass, 2 = glass/carbon composite, 3 = carbon), the second and third are length (56 = 5'6"), and the fourth is power on Brightliver's own 1 to 5 scale (1 lightest, 5 heaviest).
