The Hamachi Nano Stalker S2™ is a 6'6" 2-piece spinning rod built on an ultra-high-tensile Nano Carbon blank — infused with nano resins for exceptional sensitivity while staying far more forgiving of the nicks and bumps of everyday fishing than traditional high-tensile carbon. This 1–2kg (2–5lb) variant is the lightest, most sensitive rating in the S2 range: a true finesse tool built for micro-lures and light soft plastics.
Paired with a 1000–2500 size spinning reel and lures from 2–10g, this rod is in its element working small soft plastics, blades and micro hardbodies for bream, trout, perch, whiting, flathead and light bass work. The blank's tip sensitivity telegraphs the softest bite through your fingers, while the nano-resin construction keeps real backbone in reserve for turning fish well above its rated class.
The S2 range also comes in 2–4kg, 4–6kg and 6-10kg Spin, and 4–6kg Overhead/Baitcaster — see our other listings. The Nano Stalker series continues with the S3 7'0" 3-piece, EGI S4 9'0" 4-piece squid/calamari specialist, and S5 10'0" 5-piece long-cast travel rod. RRP USD $599.

Prefer to bid? We run a limited number of auctions on prior-year and New Other stock — genuine Hamachi rods at prices that regularly land well below retail. Auction items carry a 1-Year Warranty rather than the Lifetime Warranty on this current-model listing, but they're the same rods, same performance.
View Current Auctions →The 1–2kg (2–5lb) is a true finesse rating — ideal for bream, trout, perch, whiting, flathead and light bass on micro lures and soft plastics (2–10g). If you're chasing bigger fish or throwing heavier lures, see our 2–4kg or 4–6kg Spin listings, or the 4–6kg Overhead/Baitcaster listing.
This listing is the spinning build of the S2 1–2kg. If you prefer a baitcaster/overhead reel at this weight class, message us — we can advise on the closest matching build in the range.
The S2 is a 6'6" 2-piece rod — the most compact and sensitive format in the range. The S3 is 7'0" 3-piece (more reach, still travel-friendly). The S5 is 10'0" 5-piece for long-cast shore work. All share the same Nano Carbon blank technology.
