Waterside is Jointer's case for the smallest fishing there is: ultra-compact telescopic poles for the ponds, ditches, and canals that sit beside campsites and city walks. Every model adjusts between two fishing lengths, with an end-cap mechanism that locks the unused section so the rod does not rattle when fished short. The main pair covers 1.5/1.8 m and 1.8/2.1 m at 26-30 g; the Small World sub-family shrinks the idea to 1.0/1.2 m and even 0.7/0.9 m, packing to 24 cm.
The targets are the small classics of Japanese waterside fishing: kobuna, oikawa, haze, tanago, and tenagaebi on simple bait rigs. Nothing here needs a reel or a cast, which is the point; the series is pitched at children, beginners, and traveling anglers who want a rod that lives in a jacket pocket. Prices run ¥6,300 to ¥9,000.
