Returns Simplified.The Sakura Ryokan FW 7 Medium-Heavy is arguably the most versatile rod in the entire freshwater range. At 7 feet (2.13m) with a 728g casting weight, it covers the classic power band used by lure anglers across Europe. Whether you are twitching hard baits for Perch, jigging for Zander, or casting spoons for Pike, this rod provides the perfect balance of sensitivity and power.
Built on the IM30T High Performance Carbon blank, it offers a fast, reactive action that excels at both casting distance and lure manipulation. The signature HD EVA and Rubber Cork hybrid handle ensures that the rod is as durable as it is comfortable, providing a firm grip even during the most explosive strikes.

Versatile IM30T Blank: This carbon grade is specifically chosen for its all-around properties. It is stiff enough to set hooks firmly in a Pikes jaw but has enough soul to absorb the head-shakes of a large Perch or Zander, preventing hook pulls.
Fuji K-Frame Guides: Using world-standard Fuji hardware, the anti-tangle frames ensure that even when using light braids in windy conditions, your line remains free of wind knots and wraps around the tip.
The 7-28g Sweet Spot: This casting range is the industry standard for a reason. It allows you to fish everything from a 7g Tailspin 10 ZN up to a 110mm minnow or a medium-sized soft plastic with a 14g jig head.
Ergonomic Hybrid Grip: The combination of high-density EVA and rubber cork is designed for longevity. The rubber cork butt is especially useful for protecting the rod when its stood upright against a wall or on a stony bank.
Zander Jigging: The fast action is perfect for hopping soft plastics along the bottom. You can feel the lure hit every stone, and the sensitivity allows you to detect the classic thump of a Zander take.
Hard Bait Twitching: At 7ft, the rod is the ideal length for downward twitching with jerks and minnows. Its short enough that you wont hit the water surface with the tip while working the lure.
Canal and Small River Fishing: The 7ft length makes it manageable in tight spots, under bridges, or on narrow towpaths, while still providing enough length to cast across most mid-sized waterways.
Surface Lure Action: The MH power is perfect for walking the dog with surface lures. The tip has enough stiffness to pop the lure effectively without being too soft.
If youre only going to buy one freshwater lure rod, make it the 7ft 7-28g Ryokan. Its the Swiss Army Knife of the range. I pair mine with a 2500 or 3000 size reel and 0.12mm Sensibraid. Its light enough to enjoy a 2lb Perch but has enough hidden power to land a surprise 15lb Pike. Its the rod I always keep in the car just in case
