Product Introduction:
For every human-powered traveler.
Airplanes, buses, canoes, bicycles...
A powerful spinning pack rod designed to be carried anywhere in the world by your own hands.
Inheriting the Characteristics of the Glissando 73
Portamento 73 is a four-piece spinning pack rod that inherits the core characteristics of the early TULALA model, the Glissando 73. Developed with the cooperation of Ichiro Kaiya, an angler who enjoys kayak fishing around the world, the project began under a simple concept:
“For every human-powered traveler.”
Versatility + Portability — Maximizing All-Around Performance
The rod combines the butt power required for salmon and Tokyo Bay seabass fishing with a sensitive tip that bends smoothly even with small rockfish.
It offers exceptional versatility, allowing anglers to cast everything from micro spoons to small hard baits, light big baits, and casting metal jigs — all with a single rod.
Portamento 73 prioritizes the ultimate balance of portability and versatility, minimizing situations where you find yourself wishing you had brought a different rod.
Portamento 73 Inukshuk was created with one development theme:
“For every human-powered traveler.”
Trekkers, cyclists, kayakers, backpackers, and even motorcycle riders can all appreciate its flexibility.
Think of it as a travel rod capable of handling nearly any fishing style during your journey.
Certainly, it is not specialized for highly technical techniques requiring extreme sensitivity, giant fish, or ultra-small targets.
However, for mid-sized fish ranging from bluegill to salmon, its philosophy is simple: maximize versatility for almost any fishing situation.
The more imagination and creativity the angler brings, the more possibilities this rod offers.
Although it is a pack rod, it delivers exceptional strength within its class.
Casting moderate-sized big baits presents no issue at all.
With proper tackle balance, there is little concern about fish overpowering or breaking the rod.
Of course, leaving it in your vehicle and casually pulling it out whenever the opportunity arises is also exactly the kind of use this rod was designed for.
