Rock shore & breakwater
105 rod series from 3 Japanese makers, 1.11 m (3'8") to 7.00 m (23'0").
Long telescopic rods fished with a float from rocks and harbour walls. Common in Japan and Korea, rare elsewhere.
The makers file these under Rock shore & breakwater(磯・防波堤)、Kobudai (Asian sheepshead wrasse). We only group the makers’ own categories together — we do not decide what a rod is for.
How to choose
These are mostly long telescopic rods; the number in the name (e.g. 1.5, 2, 3) is the rod's power, and the common lengths are 5–6 m, with shorter models for close work. Choose the power to suit the fish size and the sea, and check the packed length for shipping. They are matched with a levelwind or a spinning reel with a line-release lever.
