Asuka rods

Anybody heard of this brand? Asuka?

I saw a spinning rod in a local tackle shop. The rod feels good. Price around RM100+ for a 6.5ft. Very nice finish, the look is really good.

Dunno if any of u heard of it or use before, but i can’t find any info on this brand at all, even through google.

FYI, the one i’m looking at is called Asuka Sidestroke. As i said, looks good… except for the fact that their tag line is “FISHING LIKE APRO” (no typo there… they actually printed it “APRO”).

bro, you can try checking out:

have the look of quality stuff but no info [V]

hi acheong, thanks for the links.
looks like the asuka brand that i saw. but those rods(those in the links u gave) are different models, probably newer ones.
they look nice too.

i’m still thinking of getting the asuka sidestroke 6.5ft, i think 10-20lb test (if i remember correctly), n 12-40g lure wt.

there’s another one that’s similar, just different color. it’s called red vision. roughly same specs but 6ft long. a few months back, saw one of these at kurauking’s shop too.

anybody seen these rods before? anybody used or can comment on these two rods? again, they’re called Asuka Sidestroke and Asuka RedVision.

dei..bro, don’t buy yet as you will be going down to melaka this weekend.
Ask sifu wkl2020 to bring you to Got-U-tackle, got better choices and probably end up like sengiran, order a custom rod [:p][:p]

haha. i better not bring too much money with me to malacca. i know wkl2020 will surely poison me.

about the custom rod… i already sort of kena poisoned the day i met u all, when wkl demonstrated what those custom rods could do.

i’m dying… the venom of the tackle shop bug is too strong! help me!!

**know wat… i think when i say ‘help’, i dun mean ‘help’ in the sense of getting the venom out… i think i want donations… haha)

Wait a while … KK was lovingly fingering some Thailand blanks when we were there. ( Probably some made in Taiwan as well )

Let’s see whether he brings some back.[:p]

Oh, never heard this brand before. But the picture you posted is nice.

vicky,

there are many more out there we ain’t seen … much less heard of.
eg JDM exotic UL range, one of myriad market segments (and leagues).

zenith akatsuki, nories, olympic, golden mean, ivyline, many more.

i wonder whether some of these are brand names or model names [:D]
