DREEM UP manoma Rafter710 四滝 -shitaki-

Rafter, meaning 'raft', is the name of this rod born on the Kumano River, which originates from the sacred mountains of the Kii Mountain Range. The rod is named after the 'rafting' industry, a core industry of the Kumano River system with a history of over 600 years. The river's flow is thick and strong. The trout that inhabit it are robust and show powerful fights. It is possible to forcibly draw in the target accustomed to the rapid flow at times, and at other times to let it ride the flow, similar to a raft master who controls the river freely according to its flow. This model is designed with the flow in mind.
In terms of design, the blank features a vivid green reminiscent of the Kumano River, appearing depending on how light hits it. The name Rafter imagines a raft standing in the river flow, and the grip end is tightened with an aluminum plate engraved with the MANOMA logo.

In midstream to downstream areas of large rivers, dilemmas such as 'reeling not being stable due to the strong pushing flow' and 'unable to achieve sharp rod actions' often occur. Rafter710 Shitaki is a tough rod made for such situations. Its resilient butt does not get swallowed by the rapid flow and firmly transmits action to the lure. At 7.10 ft and weighing 113g, it is light for a trout rod, allowing for effortless continuous twitching, a crucial technique when targeting migrating trout like cherry and Satsuki masu, even under harsh conditions, and reduces fatigue during long fishing sessions.
