Dear followers of Sato Custom Rods,

It is with a heavy and broken heart, that I announce the passing of my beloved husband and the owner & rod builder of Sato Custom Rods... Brent Ikari

He passed away peacefully at home with me by his side last night. He slipped into sleep quietly and is now able to rest free from pain. No more pumps beeping throughout his day, no more nausea and vomiting, no more needle pokes, no more surgeries. He is free from the burdens of a physical body and his soul is at rest with the Lord.

He battled cancer courageously and was a beacon of strength for our family. Words cannot express the deep sorrow my heart feels even though I know he is in a better place.

Thank you to everyone who was part of this journey with us. Thank you for your support during this difficult time.

-ThyVan Ikari

Little reel tackled some decent fish in Cedros opening a lot of eyes. This reel is being proven globally with great results.
