This handcrafted Japanese rod holder , made by the craftsman Mankyu , is intended for traditional herabuna fishing .
It is crafted from juniper wood , preserving as much of the material's natural shape as possible, making each piece totally unique.

In Japan, this type of rod holder is sometimes called manriki , a term referring to a support used to hold the rod on the fishing station .
In this document, the term rod holder is intentionally preferred for clear understanding on the European side.

The main body and base are made from a single piece , without gluing or assembly. This one-piece construction ensures excellent strength and stability during use.

The clamping area highlights the natural grain of the juniper, giving the whole a character that is both functional and aesthetic.
No identical model can be reproduced: this is a completely original piece .

This rod holder is designed for:

• maintain the herabuna cane in a stable manner

• easily set up at the fishing spot

• preserve high-end canes through contact with natural wood

Suitable for both experienced fishermen and collectors of Japanese crafts.
