PAN SHI LI

PAN SHI LI (磐石鯉) is a 4H competition-taper carp pole for Taiwan-style pond fishing, built to the tournament brief of light, stiff, and hard, with a tip sensitive to small fish and a backbone strong enough for big carp. The blank uses the NET-V II process for high recoil power, and a wide-angle rolling technique shifts the balance rearward so long sessions at full extension stay comfortable. HR positions it for competitive, recreational, and circuit events. The finish is a water-transfer wrap of Chinese red interleaved with marble-like cloud-white veining, capped with laser-engraved alloy end plugs.

Five lengths run 12 through 24 chi. The 3.62 m model weighs 85 g in four sections, the 4.5 m 126 g, the 5.4 m 176 g, and the 6.3 m 231 g in seven sections, with a 24 model at the top; every length closes to 104 cm on 99 percent carbon blanks. It is the sibling of the LONG SHI LI on an identical spec ladder, distinguished by the white-veined cosmetic rather than the black crackle.
