Thread: new arrival

Have fun with it and tell us how it goes.

At those prices, the fish better jump in the boat after you wave the rod over the water... like some religious rite.

I have one JDM rod (Yamaga Blanks Blue Current.) I ordered directly from Japan on a Sunday. I received the package in the mail on the following Friday. The rod was well-packed and in perfect condition. I ordered from Japan Angler, one of the companies Alphahawk recommended. I would happily order from them again.

i got one other jdm and it came in less than a week and was shipped in a schedule 80 pvc pipe. if the plane had crashed i think the rod would have been fine. i dont know what happened with this one. i could track it, it stayed osaka international airport for like 10 days. o well i got it now and happy with it.

Congrats on the new rod....it is a true work of art. Mine lost a running guide insert. The new guide gets here tomorrow......I’m ready to get it back....I miss the “Ice Cube”.

what size reel did you put on yours. my plan was to go with a shimano stradic 1000. i got 5 of em 2 1000 and 3 2500. stadics and naci's are two of my favorites. cant quite pull the trigger on a stella yet.

Congrats.Its not the equipment its how you use the equipment. Thanks for post and info.shipping by UPS,USPS has really got bad we have received damaged packages.Some great times.

I pair it with either a Daiwa or Shimano JDM 2000 series reel......it balances nicely. The Shimano 1000’s sold in the states are equivalent to the 2000 series out of Japan.
