Black seabream (chinu)
8 rod series from 2 Japanese makers, 2.16 m (7'1") to 2.69 m (8'10").
Lure fishing for black seabream, called "chinu" in Japan. Usually light tackle in shallow water and harbours.
The makers file these under Black seabream（チニング）. We only group the makers’ own categories together — we do not decide what a rod is for.
How to choose
Black seabream rods on this shelf are light lure rods, often 7–8 ft (2.1–2.4 m), chosen by the lure or rig weight (a few grams up to about 15 g). A 2000–2500 size spinning reel keeps the outfit light for a day of casting from banks and piers.
