ARES INGRAM Inaho IM

This is the Inaho ultra-soft blank in the INGRAM IM build, which Nissin describes as an extremely slim, extremely soft full-flex design for playing a fish rather than lifting it. Four rods cover 4.50 m to 5.35 m in 0.5号 and 00号 classes at 140 g to 175 g.

Prices run ¥34,000 to ¥39,000 before tax. Power is the 号 class, Nissin's own scale for this kind of rod: a lower number is a finer blank for lighter line, and each class is a separate rod with its own weight and price.
