Izanai Stick IS-69S-GK

Hayashi's Izanai Stick IS-69S-GK is a boat squid fishing rod designed for the Namarisutte technique, developed under the supervision of "Ajigami" Nagashima, a professional fisherman from Iki Island, and tested in the demanding conditions of the Genkai Sea (Kyushu). This heavy power model is designed to handle deep waters and strong currents, offering excellent sensitivity and power during night boat squid fishing sessions. The rod features a fast taper action with a strike-oriented setup, ideal for clearly detecting even the lightest bites. The solid carbon tip enhances sensitivity and accurately transmits vibrations and signals from the lure, allowing anglers to immediately detect squid bites. At the same time, the reinforced and powerful butt section provides a strong power reserve during retrieval and fighting. The two-piece construction with a traditional joint ensures excellent overall balance, improving rod control during fishing and making it reliable even in demanding conditions. The Izanai Stick IS-69S-GK is primarily designed for use with #25 sutte (93 g), but it can easily handle #30 (112 g) to #35 (131 g) weights, and up to #40 (150 g) when fishing in strong currents or very deep areas. Designed specifically for boat squid fishing, the Izanai Stick IS-69S-GK combines sensitivity, power and control, making it an excellent choice for anglers practicing squid fishing, metal squid game and night squid fishing. A reliable and high-performance rod developed to tackle open sea conditions and maximize catches even in the most technical situations.
