The Traditional Fisherman's Forum

What a lovely thing!
Would love to see some action shots of it in action.

Absolutely stunning item, what an item in such condition is an amazing find. I have a 'Gourd' bamboo pole but
nothing as grand as this.

A little work of art it looks so tactile and begs to be used. I noticed that the cloth/paper? cover inside has a Perch? and a old Mitchell 300 type reel drawn on it, anything else interesting on there?

This is what came in the box. There are 2 of the paper wrappings, a dedicated cloth bag and a letter with an interpretation of the lettering on the pole and paper wraps. Interesting to note that the reel is showing a full bale arm.

A wondrous thing indeed, there must be many more of these treasures stashed away. Eyes peeled now.

Wal.

I wish there were! The only markets seem to be Japan & USA - unfortunately.

They are available new at a price - an expensive one!
