ARES Royal Stage 3WAY Keisho

Keisho is the Royal Stage tier's three-length zoom keiryu rod. Each blank locks at three fishing lengths, so the 4.35 m rod also fishes at 4.00 m and 3.60 m without changing rods or re-rigging.

Four blanks cover 4.35 m, 5.25 m, 6.15 m and 7.00 m in two hardness grades, Kouchuukou and Kouchou, for seven rods. Weights run 80 g to 220 g and rods close to 55 cm. Harisu ratings are 0.2 to 0.6 号 on the softer grade and 0.2 to 0.8 号 on the firmer.

Prices run ¥17,800 to ¥31,500 before tax. The hardness grade is the variant axis: one length is sold in several grades, each with its own weight, tippet rating, price and product number.
