Nice, I did the 45000 yen conversion and came up with $311. Must be super high quality.
Lol thanks. Most of it I buy used or deeply discounted. Some of these cost a pretty penny if buying new, let somebody else take the hit. I found a place in Japan that sells used rods and reels, ended up getting this rod for half of what it cost new. The plastic wrap was still on the grips when I got it, looked like new. It ran me $190. A year ago when the yen was stronger, it was $450 if bought new. This rod is also sold in Europe and the shops over there have it listed for €500.
