IPPON DEADSTOCK 70's / SEIRYU 24SS002

Back to the 70's: Rediscovering Bamboo Rods

This rod is designed to help you understand the essence of bamboo rods and transform your local natural environment into your fishing field. The "nobe-zao style" WAZAO is ideal for a wide range of fishing locations, from lower to midstream rivers, ponds, and lakes, to pier fishing. It not only delicately conveys the bites of small fish like dace, minnows, and crucian carp directly to your hand but also allows you to feel the life force of the fish throughout the entire rod, providing an immersive dialogue with nature. Fishing with a nobe-zao is one of the most direct ways to experience the pull of a fish. As you assemble the multiple sections, tucked away like a Matryoshka doll, into a single rod, your senses become intimately connected to the outside world (True Nature) through nothing but the line and bamboo. This rod’s versatility makes it perfect for various fishing scenarios and an ideal product for learning the characteristics of bamboo rods.

WAZAO-IPPON 2024 SUMMER COLLECTION First Release: "Resistance"

This limited Seiryu rod collection, revived after nearly 60 years and clad in deep crimson, has been meticulously restored by skilled rod builders. It's, to put it mildly, incredibly dope. We hope you’ll grasp this bamboo, once swayed by the winds of Showa, and stand resilient against the headwinds of Reiwa with a rebellious spirit.

Note: "Nobe-zao" traditionally refers to a single-piece rod without joints. However, we use the term here to describe rods that operate without a reel, with the line connected directly to the rod tip.
Please note that since this product is made from natural materials, changes in appearance may occur depending on storage conditions and usage. We encourage you to embrace the aging process as part of the experience. Maintenance and warranty limitations apply, so please be aware before purchase.
