If you get this rod you’re going to love it. It casts both kebari and beadheads with great accuracy. The cypress handle is shorter than on most rods but I really like it.I have mine set up with a 3.5 level line and so far it has handled everything I’ve hooked. The picture is from yesterday.
I have the 360 version of this rod and it’s brilliant! It’s quickly becoming one of my favorite rods, for the same reasons that you state. I also just got the 5:5 version of the 330 rod. I’ve only done a little practice casting, but it’s amazing! I hope the weather cooperates so I can get out and use it.
Same here…love it! I was surprised how comfortable the wood grip is too.
I’ve been so impressed, that I’m also going to purchase the 360 5:5 version. Thanks to Dr Tom for his review and insights on the rod, as well as Tenbum’s write-up. I need to quit reading those…
Finally got a chance to try the Nissin Air Stage Fujiryu Tenkara 360 5:5…SMOOTH & EFFORTLESS. It is an awesome rod and I love the unique grip.
I like the two that I have so much that I now have a 6:4 410 on order. I think it will be a great rod for some of the bigger water/fish that I frequent when I’m not hiking into the wilderness. I just love how the grip feels and fills the hand, in addition to the casting and balance of the 330 and 360 that I currently have.
On 06/24/24 Plat.llc received a “new arrival” inventory, restocking many of the Nissin Airstage Fujiryu models of Tenkara rods. I ordered the NASF 410 6:4 . Absolutely infatuated by this line of Nissin rods. Finally, the NASF 410 6:4 arrived 7/01/2024 I hope to use it soon.
I have the 330 cm and the 360 cm in 5:5. Both rods are amazing. I want to fine the larger rod in 6:4 if possible. Does anyone know where I can order one. Thank you ahead of time for your help.
Digitaka has all lengths of the 6:4 in stock right now. Ships for free. I bought all of my Air Stage Fujiryu rods from them over the last few years.
Ross,
Thank you so much for helping me out. I hope all is well and you get plenty of fish this summer
but please leave me a few to catch.Take care.
Mike,
I’ve got the 330 and 360 both in 6:4 and 5:5. You are going to love them whichever you get. The 360 5:5 might just be the sweetest casting rod out there.
