TOYO Mikami II Zoom 9H

Mikami II is the flagship of TOYO's convertible shrimp-pond poles, an upgraded second generation aimed at both competition and recreational pond anglers. The blank is rolled from Toray carbon fabric from Japan, which the maker credits for faster blank response and better signal transmission at no cost to strength. The action is light and stiff in the 9H class, tuned for clean reads and quick lifts.

The defining feature is the multi-section conversion: the pole reconfigures between 4, 5, 6, and 7 sections to match pond size, conditions, and personal handling style. Supporting details include a pearl-white finish with pink accents, a weighted butt plug that steadies the balance point for long sessions, and silicone ring seals that tighten the joints between sections. The single model is 2.1 m at full extension, 7 pieces, 99 percent carbon, 103 g, closing to 42 cm, with a 1/92 action rating.
