Nissin Air Stage Hakubai 390 and Small Fish

In late August of 2015 I ordered my first seiryu rod, a Nissin Air Stage Hakubai 390, and began fishing it September 1. Wow! Double Wow! No wonder Chris likes fishing with seiryu rods, and when he gives a rod, including this one, the “double really” endorsement it pays to really, really consider it. This is a seriously fun rod, insanely light, absolutely delightful to cast and thrilling to fight the many small to medium species and young of the larger fish. Thanks, Chris, for your advice and for stocking such excellent tackle!

As age slows my pace, I will become more like the heron.
