Product specifications and customization details
A custom telescopic lure rod with a slim-waisted solid wood handle, mother-of-pearl inlay and Fuji SiC guides throughout. SAOTABI Atelier Contour folds to 22 cm in casting form or 23.5 cm in spinning form, bringing the character of a handmade wood handle to a compact travel format.
The slim-waisted handle and mother-of-pearl inlay give Contour its distinctive look. An optional detachable rear handle extension adds a longer rear grip when selected. With UL+ power, fast action and a stated lure range of 1.5–6 g, it is a compact option for fishing with light lures.
