Nissin Pro Spec 2Way 6:4 360 

The Nissin Pro Spec 2Way is one of the most versatile tenkara rods you'll find. It is designed to be fished at either 3.1 meters (just over 10') or 3.6 meters (just under 12').  A "shorter zoom rod" is what made the Sagiri such a hit. The Pro Spec is a bit shorter yet, and makes it an ideal choice for anglers who fish both medium sized streams and also the headwaters. For tenkara fishermen in the Catskills, the Appalachians and the Smokies, it may be the ideal rod.

The softer 6:4 version is a very light, very sensitive rod that is well suited to either the 6" brookies in the headwaters or the 10-12" (or occasional 14") trout in small mountain streams. It is a bit soft for fishing tungsten bead head nymphs, although I have caught fish doing so (as did Alan D, whose first fish on the rod is shown below, along with the tungsten bead head nymph he caught it on). For smaller nymphs with smaller beads in smaller streams it works fine. If you want to fish with an unweighted fly and a light line in small streams - which to my mind is the very essence of tenkara - this is a rod designed for exactly that.

The 6:4 rod is one of the softer tenkara rods I've measured, at 11.5 and 11 pennies (10'3" and 11'9", respectively). That just means it excels at casting a very light line and is not way too much rod for little wild fish in little wild streams. If you enjoy fishing for modest sized fish in a range of stream sizes you'd have a hard time finding a better rod.

The tip plug is rubber, and is fluted so that you can insert the plug while you still have your line attached to the rod. The plug is quite snug but it goes in very easily if you "screw" it in.

The 2way mechanism holds the rod securely at either the 3.1 or 3.6m length. There is a narrow band of material around section #7 (remember, for all Japanese rods, sections are counted from the tip down, not the grip up) that holds it firmly in the grip section. The other end of the #7 section slides over a protrusion in the grip screw, which has an "O" ring to hold the section securely. Held snugly in two places, it doesn't rattle. The grip screw itself is one plastic piece with a gold metal accent band.

Brand new. Plastic wrap still on grip.
