Stream
Micro-lure stream trout rod for spinning and BFS casting in small rivers
A light-line trout and panfish lure series from PureLure (a Chinese brand made for the JDM-influenced light-game segment) for small stream and river fishing. Primary application is casting small spinners, spoons, inline lures, and micro soft plastics to stream trout, perch, and small bass in tight quarters. Lure ratings of 1/32–3/16 oz (0.9–5g range) put it firmly in micro-lure territory. Two-piece construction in 6'5" and 6'6" lengths.
Blank material details are not confirmed in available sources, claimed construction references carbon fiber with FUJI guides. The pairing of UL and L powers with F action is consistent with the JDM stream trout style: a tip sensitive enough to detect light bites on small lures, with enough backbone through the mid-section to land fish in current. Cork handles referenced in related lineup descriptions. Four models covering both spinning and casting in two powers (UL and L) at closely matched lengths (6'5" spinning, 6'6" casting).
The split between casting and spinning is equal, casting models likely intended for BFS (baitfinesse) setups using small low-profile casting reels, a technique common in Japanese stream trout fishing. This is a budget-accessible entry into the JDM stream-trout style instead of a high-specification Japanese domestic rod.

Model notes
1 of 4 modelsUL casting version, intended for BFS reel setups with very light lines. Handles the smallest lure weights in the series (1/32 oz). Requires a well-tuned BFS reel to cast effectively at this weight class.
