Sea pond, raft & kase

22 rod series from 2 Japanese makers, 1.27 m (4'2") to 4.50 m (14'9").

Fishing from a moored raft ("ikada"), a small boat ("kase") or a stocked sea pond. Mostly a Japanese pastime.

The makers file these under Sea pond, raft & kase(海上釣堀・イカダ・カセ). We only group the makers’ own categories together — we do not decide what a rod is for.

How to choose

Rods for stocked sea ponds and rafts are short (around 3–4 m for ponds, shorter for rafts) and chosen by the target fish size. Compare the power rating and the packed length. Reels are small spinning or levelwind models.
