Hi there kentofnsl,
The rod is probably Japanese as we have had those rod for a long, long time. A lot of Japanese tackle manufacturers have English versions of their website. Just click a button and you'll see English! If not, good try anyway.
BUT FIRST.....
tsurikichi's suggestions:
1) Find the manufacturer on the web. Use Google.com as your search engine and start putting in keywords in different combinations like thru rod, unique rods, in-line, etc.
But better yet........
2) Take a coat hanger or something, put a tiny drop of super glue on the very end of the straightened out wire, with a flash light locate the end of your leader, put the end of the hanger against the leader end until it's good and attached, then........ pull out leader. Lots of solvents will release the superglue's grab on your leader.
Lastly, tell your little leader to never ever do that again!
Hope this helps,
tsurikichi
