Solid and well built. It pairs beautifully with my all JDM rods and Glassfin rod.
Agree most of them, I have several UD glass rods (Glassfin rod and some JDM rods). Here is my view of it.
UD glass trout rods are an excellent choice for anglers who are looking to optimize their trout fishing experience. These rods are typically slower and have more flex, which makes them ideal for cushioning the jumps and head shakes of trout, allowing for a smoother and more enjoyable fishing experience.
One of the main advantages of UD glass trout rods is their versatility. Unlike other types of rods that are specifically designed for trout fishing, UD glass rods can be used for a variety of fishing applications. Of course, UD glass rod is very good for trout fishing.
Another advantage of UD glass trout rods is that they are well-suited for both beginners and experienced anglers alike. The slower action and greater flex of these rods make it easier for beginners to cast and present their bait or lure effectively, while still providing the sensitivity and control that experienced anglers require.
In addition, UD glass trout rods are known for their durability and longevity. These rods are built to withstand the rigors of trout fishing and can provide years of reliable service if properly cared for.
Overall, if you're looking to get the most out of your trout fishing experience, a UD glass trout rod is definitely worth considering. With their slower action, greater flex, and versatility, these rods can help you catch more fish and enjoy your time on the water to the fullest.
I throw flies on ultralight spin stuff and I usually tie the fly on with a non slip loop like I would fly fishing and pinch on my weight about 6 inches upЎat https://www.reddit.com/r/BFSfishing/comments/1177nfr/glassfiber_bfs_and_...
That's unbelievable, I will try it with my Glassfin rod
We have many top notch JDM rods and reels, especially the top creek fishing rods (Anglo, Fenwick(Japan), Abu(Japan), M-AIRE, TENRYU, Casket, SMITH, Daiwa, Shimanoo, Majorcraft etc), some of them are not brand new, but at least 92% new.
Here are Anglo rod and Fenwick rod we just sell to our users.
Take the Fenwick(Japan) for example, we currently have below models in stock.

Please contact us if you want any brand of high end JDM rods or reels. You need tell us the model you want or the brief description of your fishing
scenario.
Please note, DANKUNG GLASSFIN has same fiber glass material & simialr fishing experience with high end Japan glass creek rods.
If you have no any experience of glass creek rod, I suggest you begin with a GLASSFIN rod which is much much lower price.
Much to my surprise, I just learnt the Fenwick(Japan Branch) is a very professional glass rod builder. Can I buy Fenwick glass rod that made in Japan from DANKUNG?
Below is what I learnt from Facebook

There have been two different Fenwicks since 1971. Many Americans remember the classic glass Fenwick sticks from the old days which were some really fantastic rods and still nice by even today's standards. Like most classic American fishing brands, they were purchased by a conglomerate, the quality of materials went south, labor went elsewhere, and now we have a Fenwick in America that largely builds generic products like anybody else. Well, on this side of the Pacific anyway.
So let's go back to 1971. Trout fishing is as popular or more popular in Japan than it is here. Back then, Tiemco became an authorized distributor and manufacturer of Fenwick rods for the Japanese market. They imported the blanks from here, spun them up, and put them on shelves complete with Fenwick's branding. With Tiemco controlling the brand in Japan, they were immune from the Pure Fishing takeover and now there are two Fenwicks, both cut from the same cloth, and both offering completely different products. While Fenwick here took the generic approach, the classic Fenwick still lives on in Japan, making higher end rods from fiberglass for trout and bass fishermen.
I was probably the most early user of GLASSFIN rod, I ordered it 2 years ago.
For me, the Glassfin rod is a very good small-middle trout rod on small creeks to medium rivers.
I also have a Anglo rod(luckily I got it at only 550 dollars,now the price doubled). In terms of performance , it's closed to anglo, just keep improving it from current baseline towards the best trout glass fishing rod. About comparison to another famous glass rod, the major craft major craft finetail glass rod, Glassfin in fact is quite different rod from Finetail glass rod which is more like a graphite rod although it's named as 'a glass rod'. So from a glass rod standpoint, Glassfin is much better than Fintail rod, on recovery, casting predictability, lure twitch, accuracy, hooksetting etc. Wish DANKUNG make new editions of GLASSFIN rod for larger trout, maybe a pure glass material can not do this, a blend of graphite and glass or boron material must be using ? I am not material expert, just share the ideas & advice.
I wish this is not off-topic.
I not care much about the material of Japanese(or Chinese) glass rod, while I am very interested in flick casting of their Glass rod.
Flick casting is not just aesthetic, but also very functional in fishing.
The best way to mastering flick casting efficiency and accuracy is to load the rod up and let the rod itself do the work launching the lure for you.
So instead of winding up and reaching way back to hurl the rod with your whole body,
it's more of a tight, circular sidearm whip that loads the rod tip and flicks the lure out there. it's an aesthtical motion like the dancing, you will be addictive to it.
More important, it's very useful cast in narrow spot where other casting can not be done at all.
Some guys use two hands to make sidearm flick cast, one over the reel seat where you would normally hold a rod and one on the rod butt. That's a more effective way, but is not necessary in most cases, I love flick casting as I please. Just enjoy doing it.
Drop the lure down 6 to 8 inches from the tip and begin your fist flick casting.
Glassfin rod flick casting, so cool
Just received my Calcutta Conquest BFS reel last Friday from DanKung. It has been out of stock at digitaka and other JDM website. will use it in Octoher, I am horrible busy these days
I got Calcutta Conquest BFS reel from Dan Kung in 2020, and the orange glassfin rod in 2021. They are just perfect match.
Conquest BFS is excellent at overall smoothness. The solid construction and aesthetic feel...

The rumor is circulating that new Conquest BFS will be released in 2022. It reminds me of Iphone 14 just released some days ago.
As you know, Steve Jobs' daughter mocks Apple's iPhone 14 with a meme, hinting it's the same as the previous model.
Just Wish new Conquest BFS is not like Iphone 14, there are some new features I am expecting.
1: Faster gears, 7.4 is the best in my opinion
2: the new FTB/spool and braking system
3: slightly smaller frame.
4: refine the side plate
5: multiple color option rathe than just gray.
yours?

Thumb up to Mr.Hobie Won,
When you guys are talking about philosophy of glass rod,
He is field testing with Glassfin rod + new Roro AX22 spool for the Daiwa Gekkabijin, Alphas AIR Tw and Silver Creek AIR TW.
Ad oggi la mia canna preferita è la Glassfin 4,9 ul 2-6g M.Fast Vetro UD; il fusto è una vera goduria fa una piega fino al manico, con una progressione che riesce a gestire molto bene i combattimenti sia con le piccole che con le grosse trote, e una sensibilità con solo treccia che dà una sensazione quasi come la grafite più che Ottima, un buona operabilità con esche di contrazione come 3-4g, e sotto i 2,5 e più 4,5g si inizia a perdere la gestione e precisione diventato sciatta, la versatilità tutto sommato e Ottima, lancia bene in modo accurato sia a corto che a lungo raggio e si riesce a fare facilmente un flip cast, si carica quasi senza sforzo e ritorna quasi subito ferma, e se si scuote si a la sensazione di una canna rigida. La qualità dei materiali sono più che discreti, ma mi domando se anche questa canna fosse stata equipaggiata con materiali pregiati, aumentano il costo del prodotto finale. Grazie infinite DANKUNG per averla realizzata con un costo alla portata di tutti.
