Honryu WASABI (本流, mainstream or big-water) is the big-water tenkara series, built for large rivers rather than mountain creeks. It carries a torque-rich butt to handle long lines and bigger fish on a fixed line.
The 5.4m suits mid-river big yamame, giving the reach to work main currents. The 6.3m runs 12m-plus long lines for large keiryu, the configuration for covering distance and pioneering unknown big water with tenkara. Both lengths put the power in the lower blank where it is needed to drive a long line and control a strong fish.
Honryu WASABI is offered in 5.4 and 6.3m, weighing 215 to 277g, rated for 3-go tippet, the heaviest tenkara setup in the catalog. It is aimed at the angler extending fixed-line technique onto water usually fished with lure or fly tackle.
