紀州へら竿は、竿師の高い技術力で作られるへら鮒用の釣り竿です。
その製造技法は、明治10年代に大阪市で確立し、その後、原材料である高野竹（スズ竹）の産地に近い和歌山県橋本市に根付いて今日に至ります。昭和初期からのへら鮒釣りブームもあり、へら竿づくりは定着し、以後多くの釣り師に愛されてきました。
Kishu Herazao are fishing rods for catching crucian carp created by master rod craftsmen.
The production method was established in Osaka in the 1880s, and afterwards production was moved closer to the production area of the raw material used, sasamorpha borealis bamboo, and it became established there in Hashimoto City, Wakayama where it continues to the present day. In the 1920s and 30s, Japan experienced a crucian carp fishing boom, and herazao fishing rods became established, and they remain loved by fishermen today.
