Shimano BG Tenkara 48 NV [Rd035]

Shimano's strongest Tenkara rod that focuses on large trout over 50cm from good size of honryu(mainstream) yamame trout. The rod has the power and tenacity to stop large fish running down the stream, and the suppleness to easily cast light kebari by manipulating the level line. The 6:4 rod action, which can be said the classic action of Tenkara rods, makes it easy to take the timing of the casting even if you switch from other Simano’s tenkara rods such as "Pack Tenkara", "Keiryu Tenkara", or "Honryu Tenkara", and you can handle the rod without discomfort. The slender blanks, which reduces wind resistance and weight, are equipped with a spiral X structure that suppresses twisting and shaking. The flexible and hand-friendly EVA and cork hybrid long grip supports both single and double hand casting.

"BG Tenkara" is a power rod that can handle not only mainstream yamame trout and rainbow trout, but also large fish such as brown trout etc. The rod is not overwhelmed even by the fish over 50cm in length, and the tenacious rod body stops running fish just by bending the upper rod, allowing you to fight the fish easily.Some people may have the impression that a power rod is hard, but "hard" and "strong" are completely different elements. "BG Tenkara" has a rod action of 6:4. It is similar to other Shimano’s rods "Pack Tenkara", "Keiryu Tenkara" and "Honryu Tenkara". While possessing tenacity, the natural elasticity of the rod action makes it possible to cast kebari smoothly and easily. The rod is slender and has little wind resistance, and the rod action does not make you feel that it is 4.8m long rod.” Said by Dr. Ishigaki
