Supreme is Anglo's Tonkin bamboo line, hand-planed by a skilled builder. Rather than the nostalgic, slow action usually associated with bamboo, Supreme uses a contemporary sharp taper that still allows the angler to twitch lures, while bamboo's parabolic give cushions the fight.

The series shows that a cane rod can be tuned for modern stream-lure fishing instead of being a display piece. The taper is the deliberate departure: it keeps the casting and twitching response a lure angler expects, then bends deep under load. Full custom-order lengths and actions are available, so a rod can be planed to a specific stream and style.

Supreme covers 4'9" to 7'4", rated 1-18g, in both baitcasting and spinning builds. It is the most expensive line in the catalog, priced from about ¥136,000 to ¥168,000, reflecting the hand-planing and custom work behind each blank.
