Information

The blank

A light, sensitive blank telegraphs bottom bites clearly to the angler's hand, while the lower section keeps enough lift to work a hooked fish up from the seabed without excess rod length getting in the way in a boat's tight cockpit.

What it's built for

Covers two distinct Kurofune boat techniques bundled in this listing — kawahagi (filefish) zeroten fishing and tachiuo tenya — both fished from a chartered or private boat over structure and bait schools where a light, direct rod suits the style.

How it fishes

Fished vertically or on a short controlled drift, working the terminal rig gently off bottom and watching the tip closely for the subtle knock of a bite before lifting to set the hook on either technique. Adjust the exact retrieve speed and pause length to match water temperature and how actively fish are feeding on the day.

The setup it likes

Pair with a compact baitcasting or small overhead boat reel and a leader matched to the target species and bottom structure, adjusting terminal tackle to suit whichever of the two techniques is being fished. A local tackle shop can advise on the best exact match for regional conditions and the target species in mind.

We give you the cheapest available price, as we get it directly from the distributors. You pay what an angler in Japan pays, plus postage.

When does my order leave Japan?

Orders are packed in Japan and handed to Japan Post within 3 to 5 business days. You get a tracking number by email the moment it ships.

How long does delivery take?

10 to 20 business days on Standard (tracked) or Economy, or 3 to 7 business days on Express EMS with tracking and insurance. Every option is priced at checkout before you pay.

Will I be charged import duty or tax?

Is it genuine Japanese stock?

Yes. Every item is the Japanese domestic release with the original JAN barcode, sourced from an authorised Japanese distributor, never grey imports or marketplace resellers.
