Trout
55 rod series from 5 Japanese makers, 1.118 m (3'8") to 4.57 m (15'0").
Two different games share this shelf. "Area" trout means stocked ponds fished with tiny spoons; native trout means wild fish in rivers and streams. Daiwa labels its lures separately, and both labels are shown below.

391 sizes with full specs
TroutChar
The makers file these under Native and area trout（ネイティブ・エリア）、Trout（トラウト）、Trout & fly（トラウト・フライ）、Cherry salmon (sakuramasu, satsukimasu)（サクラマス・サツキマス）、Trout (yamame, amago, char, rainbow)（トラウト(ヤマメ・アマゴ・イワナ・ニジマスなど)）、Fly、Native trout、Area trout. We only group the makers’ own categories together — we do not decide what a rod is for.
How to choose
Two very different games share this shelf. For stocked ponds (area trout) look at the lightest rods and lures of 1–3 g; for rivers and streams (native trout) the rods are a little longer and the lures heavier. A 1000–2000 size spinning reel suits almost everything here. If a lure lists a single hook type, that is usually for pond rules.
