TSURINOYA INTRUDER Packable Fishing Rod | FUJI Components | UL Carbon Spinning & Casting Rod

The TSURINOYA INTRUDER is a compact ultralight travel rod built for anglers who want a genuinely portable setup without sacrificing quality components or lure control.

Designed around mountain stream, creek and finesse lure fishing, the INTRUDER uses a lightweight carbon blank with MF/F action options and a fine 1.3mm tip for sensitivity when working small lures.

The standout feature is its compact pack size. Depending on the model, the rod breaks down to approximately 38.5–44.2cm, making it easy to fit inside a backpack, travel bag, vehicle or camping kit. It's an excellent option for fishos who hike into remote creeks or simply want a quality rod that takes up very little room.

TSURINOYA has also equipped the INTRUDER with FUJI K-series brackets, FUJI O guides and a FUJI reel seat, giving the rod quality hardware throughout.

Available in both spinning and casting configurations, it can be matched to a conventional ultralight spinning setup or a BFS-style baitcasting setup.

Spinning vs Casting

Spinning: The easiest option for throwing tiny plastics, hardbodies, spinners and other lightweight lures. Ideal for anglers building a conventional ultralight setup.

Casting: Designed for anglers running a light baitcasting/BFS-style setup and wanting precise lure placement around timber, rocks and tight creek structure.

Perfect for Exploring

The INTRUDER makes particular sense for anglers who walk or hike into fishing locations. At under roughly 45cm packed, it can disappear into a backpack until you reach the water — much easier than carrying a conventional two-piece rod through bush and along narrow creek systems.
