They will email you back for extra shipping fees on rod. It's UPS. I wanna say somewhere in the 4,800 yen mark? I'm glad you got the BFS Rod! I changed to the 66M because I have a 66L+ BFS on order. And I love how versatile my 66M Ultima is.

Not yet. I changed my order to the 66M Wolfgang so the 62L BFS is back in stock at Japan lure. Should have a first look soon! Can't wait!
Please let us know when you get it. I'm pretty excited too. Last shimano stick was the original cumara.

Sweet. Thanks for posting these. Have you been able to test them out? I'm planning on putting a 51dc and a 101dc on the 610ML-BFS and the 610M.

These aren't mine, they are from a blog site.

Busy tonight so only got to unbox, not take pics and play with Rod much:( Super impressed though! Really feels and looks like a slightly different version of my Poison Ultima I love so much. Super happy! I'll try and get more up in the next day or so.

66M "Wolfgang" is listed at 97g or about 3.4 oz. I have not officially weighed mine.

Having trouble uploading pics:( I was able to fish the rod quite a bit the last few days (66M Wolfgang).used a Shimano Chronarch Ci4 with 10 lbs Sunline sniper FC. Amazing all around rod. Caught fish on spinner baits, keitech swimbaits, buzzbaits, flukes, fat ikas,and t-rig worms. Can't say enough about the rod. Crisp blank that has give for moving baits, but ass when you need to move the fish. Biggest today was a nice spawned out 23 inch bass. The 66M Ultima and 66M PG Wolfgang will always be with me on my fishing trips.
