JACKSON Kawasemi Rhapsody KWSM-S411L

KAWASEMI RHAPSODY
A stream-specific rod series that frees you from the frustrations of tight approaches and opens the door to untouched trout.

Fishing in upstream rivers—what we call "mountain streams"—often comes with numerous challenges: limited footing, overhanging branches, dense vegetation, and other obstructions that make casting difficult. Yet, it's precisely in these hard-to-reach areas where untouched trout often remain, and sometimes even large ones hold their ground. The true thrill of mountain stream fishing lies in overcoming these natural defenses to entice the fish hidden within.

That said, it’s also true that constant obstruction from overhead branches, boulders behind you, or grass underfoot can lead to frustration. The KAWASEMI RHAPSODY series was developed to free anglers from such stress and allow them to focus on casting.

We've carefully selected rod lengths that enable smooth casting without worrying about the environment—whether it’s branches above, rocks behind, or brush at your feet. Beyond that, each model is equipped with a purpose-built action designed to match a wide variety of lure types and modern stream fishing techniques.

By adopting Fuji’s SiC-S ring guides, the rods offer an even smoother cast feel for lightweight lures—ideal for small stream use. At the same time, heavy sinking lures with fast initial velocity now achieve greater casting distance, thanks to the smooth line release enabled by these guides.

Whether you're making a pinpoint side-hand cast tight to a rock wall, or an underhand cast to slide under overhanging branches—

With the support of this rod, you'll finally be able to deliver lures into those untouched spots you've long struggled to reach.
