Description

Namazu Stations Nocturnal Custom (鯰ステーションズノクターナルカスタム) is Daysprout's catfish (namazu) rod line. It keeps glass fibre's softness to maximise lure action while blending in carbon for backbone, so the blank gently loads on the hookset and absorbs sudden bites while still driving the hook home.

This listing stocks the Nc-61ML and Nc-70M models:

Nc-61ML: 6'01", ML power, approx. 144g, lure weight to approx. 18g, line to approx. 16lb, 75% glass / 25% carbon composite blank.
Nc-70M: 7'00", M power, approx. 150g, lure weight to approx. 21g, line to approx. 20lb, 74% glass / 26% carbon composite blank.

What makes it different

Built to fish, not just to sell

The blank

A glass-carbon composite blank keeps the softness needed to maximise topwater lure action while carbon content adds backbone, so the rod gently loads on the hookset and absorbs sudden, violent bites without pulling the hook free.

What it's built for

Built for night sessions on canals, rice-paddy drains and slow rivers where catfish (namazu) hunt frogs and small prey on the surface, typically warm-season evenings and after dark. The style calls for warm, calm nights with minimal boat or bank traffic disturbing the water.

How it fishes

Worked with a walk-the-dog or steady wake retrieve on floating frogs and topwater plugs, keeping constant contact so the softer blank can cushion an explosive surface strike. Give the fish a beat before setting the hook rather than striking on sound alone.

The setup it likes

Pair with a mid-size baitcasting reel, 16-20 lb fluorocarbon or 30-40 lb braid with a short heavy leader for abrasion resistance. Step up to the heavier end of that range on the longer c70M model.

Straight answers

FAQ

What does the power rating (UL, L, M, MH) actually mean?

JDM power letters often run lighter than the same letter on a US or Australian blank. The honest spec is the lure-weight range in grams on each listing — match that to what you throw, and use the letter as a tiebreaker.

How do I read Japanese rod lengths?

Japanese lengths are written in feet and inches as a decimal: 6.6 reads as 6 feet 6 inches, not six-point-six feet.

One-piece or multi-piece for travel?

Two-piece and telescopic travel rods pack shorter and ship more easily. One-piece blanks feel cleaner, but long parcels can attract courier length surcharges and some carriers route them more slowly.

What warranty or service do imported rods have?

There is no local service centre for a JDM rod. Repairs go back to Japan, usually with a fee and a multi-week turnaround — we state that plainly so you can weigh it before you buy.

Will a one-piece rod cost more to ship?

It can. Long parcels attract courier length surcharges on some routes and can move through fewer carriers. Any shipping cost shows at checkout before you pay — no surprises after the order.
