ARES INGRAM ISO V2

The V2 is the second-generation INGRAM iso rod, with a screw reel seat and an all-titanium IM guide train. Twelve rods cover 4.50 m to 5.30 m in seven classes at 195 g to 215 g on a 98% to 99% carbon blank.

Prices run about ¥39,500 to ¥40,500 before tax. Power is the 号 class, the Japanese scale for iso rods: a 1号 blank is a fine float rod and a 5号 is a heavy one, and each class is a separate rod with its own weight, rating and price. 遠投 (entou) in a class name marks the long-casting version.
