Why We Made These Adjustment Sections?
The original Mizuchi rod can be a little stiffer casting action in the shorter lengths, which this stiffness aids in keeping fish out of snags in tight quarters, so it is by design, and it is also great for nymphing. We have had many people who have contacted us wishing it was a softer action mainly in the shorter 2 lengths to make for smoother softer casting, these Soft Action Attachment Sections do just that for those of you who want a softer action Mizuchi rod. We listen and instead of making a whole new rod you need to buy we made these sections you can swap out to make it a different rod.
This includes section 4 & 5 counting from the handle section (or T3 & T4 if counting from the tip section) that you replace the current 4 & 5 sections on your Mizuchi rod with. These soft action sections have Fiberglass added to them to make them much softer without loosing strength, you may loose backbone thickness but not rod strength.
Because these sections do have some fiberglass blended in and fiberglass is slightly thicker than carbon fiber, we had to make these sections slightly shorter to make sure the taper fits with the other parts properly. Because of this, your Mizuchi rod will be 16cm (6.3 inches) shorter in all 3 lengths. This length change may be a bonus or negative for some of you. The new Mizuchi rod lengths with this attachment will be 324cm (10.62 feet), 274cm (9.06 feet), and 224cm (7.36 feet).
These Soft Action Attachment Sections are gloss black color so you can tell the difference between them and your carbon fiber original sections if you switch back and forth.
Also includes a plastic tube to keep the parts in when not being used.

What Changes When You Swap These Sections In
- Action: Significantly softer — transitions the Mizuchi from its slightly stiffer carbon-fiber casting feel to a softer and more flex-through action, especially making the 2 shortest rod length a lot smoother casting action.
-
Length: Each zoom position becomes 16 cm (6.3 inches) shorter due to the slightly reduced length of the fiberglass-blended sections.
- Long zoom: 340 cm → 324 cm (10.6 ft)
- Mid zoom: 290 cm → 274 cm (9.0 ft)
- Short zoom: 240 cm → 224 cm (7.3 ft)
- Feel: The result sits between the original Mizuchi's crisp carbon action and the FoxFIRE fiberglass rod — ideal for anglers who want a more forgiving stroke without buying a second rod.
