Browsing the net and came across these. I take it they are for the Japanese market but anyone know much about them or where to order them? Why do the Japanese have all the cool tackle?

I believe Nautilus bought one of these rods. They look cool, but I'm with GAME on this one. Performance? I don't know.

They are available down here in Europe.
I tried one of those rods for 2 days. It was really nicely built and very sensitive.
The price is a little expensive according to me but the real problem is the color scheme. I know some others who will love it

Yeah, but can the Revo freaks resist these rods after they find out about the limited edition matching Revo

I just checked with a Pure Fishing rep, in Italia you can get them with your local store if they make an order to Pure Fishing Europe.
Contact me via PM if you want more details =)

I checked one out the other day at the store and they're nice. Color's ok I think. Very light and sensitive. I found the grip to be cheap foam, kind of soft. Not hypalon or anything like that!

That "Limited" Revo is EXACTLY the same as the Cabela's exclusive model...interesting!!!

Interesting. I wonder if I can sell them at a premium in Japan

I have been looking at the Yabai FCY-65 light for a long time and just can't pull the trigger on it. I might just have to do it. I figure it would be a great rod paired with the Presso

Well that pretty much says it. You can find better for cheaper and deffinatly better for the price.
