ARES Keikyoku Haze

Keikyoku means light and extreme, and this is Nissin's lightweight haze pole, built for goby from harbour walls and estuary flats where the fish are small and the fishing is all in the tip.

Six rods cover 3.60 m to 5.35 m at 45 g to 85 g, all closing to 57 cm, in a standard and a Koushiki grade. Harisu ratings are 0.2 to 0.6 号 and 0.2 to 0.8 号, fine line for a fish that rarely reaches a hand's length.

Prices run ¥10,500 to ¥16,300 before tax.
