About these figures

Tap a size to see its current eBay listings at the top of the page. Lengths are the maker's figures; feet and inches are our conversion. Where a length is marked “read from the name”, Fishman does not publish one: we read the number in the model name as feet.inches (e.g. 8.6 = 8 ft 6 in) and kept it only when it fits the published folded length and piece count. Go (号) is the Japanese size number: for sinkers it is an exact weight (1 go = 3.75 g, converted); for line it is a diameter class, printed as published.
