Not sure it means anything....or anything we understand....LOL. I remember Chris discussing why they use certain names....when he asked his wife about it....who is Japanese....I think she replied that is was too complicated to explain in English and he would not understand.....at least that’s what I remember. I’ve been playing around with the rod all afternoon. Pulled out every rod I own to compare tip firmness to this rod. This thing is Uber soft in the tip. The color is a very pale maroon on the butt and the rest of the blank is dark gray. It looks nothing like the colors on their webpage.....which is not uncommon. Other than the grip and reel seat not a lot of Wow factor. I have to say it does scream trout though.
