These rods are called "Skagit rods" or "Edward rods" if you dare to use another name for them.




The process was based on the concept of reproducing all of the specifications that Mr. Skagit himself has used and pursued in his fishing career, from the taper design of the rod to the placement of the guides and the length of the grips.

What is a single hand? What is a single hand? What is a double hand? What is a switch?
We started by clearing up such simple and primitive elements and questions, and then, instead of converting existing graphite data, we assembled the latest graphite materials to obtain data, temporarily attached guides made of the latest materials to the proto rods, and checked the action of the guides. The first step in the long process of creating this rod was to clear the various processes one by one.

As a result, it took about six years to complete the process.
As a result, it took about six long years to complete the process.

The result is a rod that is filled with his pride and dedication to creating a rod that bears his name, and his quest to pursue its practicality as a tool.

This rod, designed and tested by Ed Ward himself, is unique in his life.

Ed Ward was aware that releasing a rod with his name on it was also a commitment to sharing his fishing style and approach to fishing with the world.

The most important thing that he has always advocated and pursued as a "tool" is the concept of "versatility".


As a result, the "Sustain Anchor" is designed to be the most efficient for Skagit style and Skagit casting, which is an essential element of Skagit casting.


The commercialization of these rods will also help to alleviate his constant lament that "Skagit is still misunderstood, and that steelhead are not the only type of skagit.

The new rod is so versatile that it can be used as a tool for all purposes.

The Micro Skagit series not only allows "single-hand skagit" using the specified skagit head, but also allows the use of existing weight-forward line (specified number) and double-tapered line (specified number). The concept of existing single-hand rods is not only possible, but also possible. The concept of the single-hand rod was designed and developed to overturn the existing concept of a single-hand rod.


. The Ceracoil stripping guide combines a nickel-titanium shape memory alloy frame with a smooth, high-purity zirconia insert (patent pending). It is very corrosion resistant and returns to its original shape after bending. The friction coefficient of the line is also minimized and the surface is PVD coated. A non-reflective black finish is deposited, making it sturdier and smoother than regular plated finishes.
