NIRVANA Kokoro 400 Tenkara Rod 13ft

Kokoro 400

My Kokoro 400 arrived on the 24th of January, but because of a cold spell I wasn't able to get out with it until February 1st. I have now been out with it 5 times and can say that I really, really like this rod. I got it on the recommendation of Matt Sment who knows a lot about rods and how they handle. He told me that it is the closest rod to the 395 Honryu for casting that he has used. Spot on. It casts as well as anything that I have fished with, is super sensitive, but is a better nymphing rod than the Honryu. I have landed a pair of fish in the 15"/16" range and with proper technique it should handle a 20" fish.

Loving it!

I'm loving the Kokoro 400. My go to has been the Mizuchi, for tight spots but I've been carrying both with me for anytime I can switch to the Kokoro. I told my son how much I'm loving the rod. The last time we were out he asked to try it. His response after one cast was, "This casts really good!" His go to is also a Mizuchi, which is an amazing rod, and he still felt a difference.

Awesome rod

My KOKORO 400 is an awesome looking rod and light in the hand. I’m looking forward to blue line action and bringing fish to hand.
