22 rod series from 3 Japanese makers, 1.10 m (3'7") to 9.02 m (29'7").
Items the makers file under "other", or under a label that is not a fishing style.
The makers file these under Free style (travel and multi-purpose)（フリースタイル）、Overseas exclusive、SUP & kayak、Snakehead. We only group the makers’ own categories together — we do not decide what a rod is for.
How to choose
Rods the maker files under other categories. Read them by the numbers below (length, weight, packed length, lure rating) rather than by name, and check the maker's category shown on each row before you decide.
