Due to the cancellation of The Tokyo Handcraft Show by the Covid-19, Bum Rod offered the sale rod for us. Bum rod is one of the most popular bamboo rod makers in our shop. The list price of Bum rods are all one tip model, but these sale models are two tips. Also These sale models are both not A6L but A6F. The difference is the cane. Madake bamboo is used for A6L, but these two sale rods are both made with Tonkin cane for the bigger size fish on the bigger size river. You will be surprised with its crisp but smooth action. For the details, please check "Bum Rod" on "SHOP" tab. We just have one each in stock. Here is the specification for two rods. If you are interested in these sale rods, just give us an e-mail. First-come-first-served. Need about 10 days for the shipping.
