■Shonai Rod, 3-Piece (Spiral Brass Pipe Joint) Hollow, Japanese Rod, Bamboo Rod, Nigatake,磯竿 (Iso-zuri Rod), Chinu, Black Sea Bream, Rare

This is a Shonai rod from the Shonai region of Yamagata Prefecture.

I purchased it around 2000 at Kuroishi Fishing Tackle Shop in Yamagata Prefecture and have kept it in my collection at home for a long time.

At the time, Kuroishi Fishing Tackle Shop had a rod craftsman (Mr. Shoichi Kuroishi) who made Shonai rods, and it is believed that this rod was made by him.
(Since there is no inscription on the rod, it is not possible to know for sure who made it, but the description that came with the rod when purchased listed Mr. Shoichi Kuroishi as the craftsman.)
Currently, there are few rod craftsmen who manufacture and sell Shonai rods, and it is becoming rare to see them, so I believe this is a rare item.

It has not been used for actual fishing and I believe its condition is the same as when it was purchased.
I have regularly maintained it (wiping with a tightly wrung towel, then dry wiping, and then wiping with a thin layer of carnauba wax followed by dry wiping), but as it has been managed by an amateur, the maintenance may not be perfect.

This is a hollow-type bamboo rod, and compared to current commercially available hollow-type rods, the line does not pass through as smoothly. Please understand this.
I once had trouble re-threading the line after it came out, but it can be done with patience using a very thin wire.

Although it has not been used for actual fishing, it is an old item, so please check the condition carefully in the photos.
