Rod freight to major cities typically $45–85.
Quoted after order. Decline the quote and we refund in full.The Stoist RT CGS is the rarest rod in the Emeraldas stable — a single 8-foot ML model that was only ever sold by ballot in Japan, one per angler, and never hit open shelves. The full-carbon one-piece grip system strips the 80ML down to 75 grams and turns the whole handle into a sounding board, so every touch, current seam and bottom contact arrives with startling clarity. Its 2.5–3.5 jig sweet spot maps perfectly onto everyday southern calamari fishing, making it as usable as it is collectible. Each blank carries tester Hirohito Yamada's signature. For the egi tragic who already owns everything — this is the one that's nearly impossible to find.
