This rods feature a unique Red-Pine handle, a very high quality wood that is light-weight, durable and water resistant. This beautiful wood has very fine grain and rays that flows in the same direction as the rod, and contributes to its beautiful aesthetic quality. We designed a very short handle, which makes it feel more "delicate" and great in the hands. The wood handle is a great addition to a fishing rod that you will feel proud of. These rods are mid-weight tenkara rods, and the action right on the mark at 5:5.
