"ROCK FISH BOTTOM"
From the Japanese pioneer of rock fish game, Norio Tanabe, comes the specialised rock fish rod ROCK FISH BOTTOM. In 2008 the rod range underwent a minor change and has been powered up with a new range of rods added to the line-up. Made for fishing around rocks and difficult structure, it is designed with control in mind and a sensitive tip for fantastic hooking, but also built with a truly strong butt for the power to drag fish away from the rocks and into the net.
