My new Nissin Royal Stage 360 7:3 arrived yesterday, just returned from casting it at my local practice pond.
First though, Chris, Tenkara Bum in NYC is awesome. His advice, response to a question via email, and sale fulfillment service are absolutely extraordinary.
The Nissin is my first Japan manufactured Tenkara rod. Now I understand.
My Diawa Kiyose is, for what it was designed to do, outstanding. But the Nissin Royal Stage is, for what it was designed to do, incredible. I was casting 15' of #3 level line like I'd been doing it for years and with great accuracy. Now I understand how guys can cast long lines so well. Nice backbone in the lower part of the rod and a very efficient flexing upper section.
Chris was right about some preferring the little longer handle than the Zerosum, I like it.
Streams (most, not all) close here in CA on the 15th . . . work can wait.
