The "Masurao 3.6m" is a new model in the Tenkara rod series designed for large trout, a collaboration between SOUTH2 WEST8 and SAKURA. This rod builds upon the "Masurao 4.5m" model, incorporating design elements inspired by Taos, New Mexico, a location visited during the 2023 TENKARA SESSION American expedition. The rod features a vibrant yellow and red color scheme, with English lettering, evoking a retro aesthetic reminiscent of vintage European and American fishing gear.
