■Terminology ・Torpedo Rod A single-piece fishing rod, regardless of its material (carbon, glass, bamboo, etc.), is called a "torpedo rod." (Note: Telescopic fishing rods are extended when used, so some people call them "torpedo rods," but this is incorrect.) Among these "torpedo rods," a sea fishing rod that is approximately 4 shaku (120 cm) long, and up to 5 shaku (150 cm) long, is called a "torpedo rod." It doesn't matter whether it has a guide or a through rod. Even if it's a long-piece fishing rod, a river fishing rod is not called a "torpedo rod." Therefore, a single-piece fishing rod is not called a "torpedo rod." This is due to the origin of the name "torpedo rod." In old warfare terminology, there was a term called "torpedo attack." This was a method used by destroyers and other vessels to attack submarines by dropping depth charges directly below the ship. This led to the term "torpedo rod" being used to refer to a short, single-piece fishing rod for fishing directly below the ship. Removable rods like the Kazu Special Selection introduced this time are common in through-ro fishing. These are also commonly called "torpedoes" (including 1.5-inch rods). Hand-spring rods (hand-wing rods) This is the name for a two-jointed sea rod (regardless of whether it's a regular joint or an inro joint) called a "Japanese rod with a joint." There are various theories about the origin of the name, but I've heard from rod makers that it comes from the fact that birds have wings on both sides, which gives it two meanings, and the name is derived from the two-jointed rod. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Otsuka Seki Fishing Tackle Shop Website: 　https://seki-tsuriguten.com/ #goby #haze #shark #throughro #japaneserod
