ARES Minamo

Minamo is Nissin's 2026 entry pole for small-fish fishing, closing to 25 cm at every length.

Four rods cover 0.75 m, 1.00 m, 1.20 m and 1.40 m at 10 g to 29 g, on 4 to 8 sections, with a 0.2 to 0.6 号 harisu rating. It shares its dimensions with the Ibuki and sits slightly above it on price, which places it as the better-finished of the two starter poles.

Prices run ¥4,800 to ¥7,300 before tax.
