Description The SUIRYU S96 is engineered for a wide range of fishing scenes—be it sweetfish (ayu) grounds, slack currents, or rapid flows. Its balanced taper ensures the rod flexes smoothly, so the tip softens under load to prevent the lure from erratic flailing that might spook an sweetfish(ayu). When a fish strikes, the tip and belly flex gradually until the fish’s weight registers, ensuring a solid hook set. The overall flex of the rod efficiently absorbs sudden bursts from fish strung along the current, while its robust butt section delivers the power needed to lift the catch. Enjoy consistent performance from early-season, smaller sweetfish(ayu) to the larger specimens of later seasons with this one versatile rod.

Weight: 156 g

Section Count: 2

Folded Length: 1,365 mm

Grip Length: 390 mm

Lure Weight Compatibility: 10–20 g

Description Ideal for anglers targeting ayu with a light, nimble touch, the SUIRYU 88 is crafted for exploring small to medium rivers and tributaries with slack currents, rapid runs, and even dandan rapids. Its standout feature is a clutch system that provides effortless line management, enabling you to hold the lure precisely along the desired current strait. If a lure’s initial placement does not trigger a bite off a target rock, you can quickly adjust by reintroducing the lure from another angle while maintaining proper line tension. Designed with a flexible balance from tip to belly, it delivers smooth action for interactions with ayu from under 20 cm in the early season to those exceeding 25 cm—while retaining enough backbone to handle larger fish.

Description For those looking to cover a broader range of course, the SUIRYU 10.6 is purpose-built for fishing in middle to large rivers—especially in areas with wide rapids or in fast-flowing early currents. Its longer length expands your reach, letting you approach delicate spots without alerting the sweetfish(ayu). In wide river sections where conventional rods might struggle to stabilize the lure, this rod holds your presentation securely, giving you a clear advantage. With a taper balance similar to the SUIRYU 88, it flexes smoothly from tip to belly, absorbing the pull of an ayu caught in the current while still delivering enough power to lift the fish. Even with larger sweetfish(ayu) (over 25 cm) during late season fishing, the rod’s graceful arc ensures reliable lifting power. This model is ideal for anglers ready to take their lure-based sweetfish(ayu) fishing to the next level.
