Nissin Prosquare

I am looking at getting a longer tenkara rod and ran across the Nissin Prosquare Super Tenkara 6:4-4510. It is supposed to be 80 grams and 4.5 meters. So, if this is correct it will be roughly 2.8 ounces and 14.7 ft. I was wondering if anyone had used this rod before. If so do you mind sharing some feedback on it? Would I be better off with a different rod? If so, which rod? I have grown accustom to the lightness of the Kiyose 33SF and am looking for this in a longer rod. I have the Amago at 3.5 ounce and 13.5 ft which tends to feel heavy and cumbersome compared to the Kiyose. The oscillation of the tip of the Amago just does not feel correct compared to the other rods I have cast. So let me know what you think.

I think that is the rod that Eddie Yamakawa has. He really likes it (if it is indeed the same one). I spoke with one other person who has a shorter Prosquare and likes it. I may order a couple of different lengths to evaluate because it does sound like it may be an interesting rod. I certainly agree with you about liking the light rods.

Doesn't TenkaraUSA have a rod you can fish at like 12 or 13 something and 14'7

They do, the Ito, 13' and 14'7", but it weighs 3.8 ounces and feels it. The difference between 2.8 ounces and 3.8 ounces is huge when the rod is that long. Longer is better but lighter is better, too.
