Expert Custom

The upstream specialist of the Expert Custom line, a 5'1" rated 1-7 g whose fast action snap-casts minnows in tight, overgrown streams and works them with fine control.

The 510 UL with a reinforced tip and belly, rated 1.5-9 g and aimed at yamame over 40 cm, holding pressure from hookset to net on fish that throw hooks.

A three-piece pack version of the 510 UL for genryu trips that start with hours of forest walking, keeping the same action in a rod that fits a mountain pack.

The standard length for yamame in typical mountain streams, a 5'6" with the 510 UL's casting feel plus a longer stroke for loading casts and cushioning fish.

The long version of the 510 ULX, rated 1.5-9 g for taking big stream fish deliberately, with the stroke for side and down-cross presentations.

A single-hand 6'0" for hunting large yamame in mainstem rivers, with sakura masu and amemasu in range, working mid-size minnows stream-style against heavy current.

A semi-double-hand 6'3" rated 3-12 g that pairs 6-8 cm minnow control with mid-river casting distance, built for run-up trophy trout from honryu yamame to sakura masu.

A double-hand 7'3" rated 3-15 g with a light-feeling blank that still buffers sakura masu torque, fishing mid-river reaches and covering lakes at a fast working rhythm.

A 7'8" rated 5-18 g for sakura masu in mid-scale rivers, keeping stream-rod handling and precision while carrying the torque to land them.

The multi-purpose sakura masu rod, merging the 780 MX's handling with the 860 MX's power at 8'2" and 5-21 g, covering nearly every river short of the smallest.

The staple length for sakura masu on full mainstem rivers, an 8'6" rated 6-24 g with a firm, powerful blank that still handles like a shorter rod and launches heavy spoons.

The big-water model at 9'5" and 10-40 g, built for large run-up fish on major rivers and Hokkaido's trophy trout, with surprising lightness and sensitivity for its rigidity.
