Daiwa Rods

Daiwa Rods: Precision and Power for Every Discipline

Daiwa rods are engineered to deliver a superior angling experience, combining decades of Japanese rod building expertise with innovative technologies. Whether you are pursuing carp, coarse fishing, or tackling hard fighting sea and predator species, Daiwa designs a rod to meet the demands of your chosen discipline.

The Daiwa Story

The Daiwa story began as a reel maker in the 1950s, but it was their commitment to innovation that quickly expanded their brand to include high performance fishing rods. The company's relentless pursuit of better tackle, driven by their "Feel Alive" philosophy, led them to pioneer new materials and construction methods. This dedication to pushing boundaries has earned Daiwa a reputation for crafting rods that are not only powerful but also incredibly accurate and sensitive.

The Daiwa Rod Advantage

Choosing a Daiwa rod means selecting a tool that offers a tangible edge, providing confidence and control in every angling situation.

Superior Casting Accuracy: Daiwa rods are engineered with precise tapers and advanced carbon constructions that provide exceptional twist resistance. This allows for more efficient energy transfer during the cast, resulting in greater distance and pinpoint accuracy.

Heightened Sensitivity: The use of advanced materials and technologies like AGS guides and Carbon Monocoque handles heightens the rod’s ability to transmit vibrations. This allows you to feel subtle takes and have a deeper connection to the action of your lure or bait.

Formidable Power and Durability: Designed to withstand the rigours of hard fighting fish and demanding environments, Daiwa rods feature reinforced blanks that ensure long lasting performance and reliable fish fighting power.

Optimised Balance and Feel: Each rod is crafted for an optimal balance and a comfortable feel in hand, reducing fatigue during long sessions and providing a more enjoyable fishing experience.

Daiwa Rod Technology: Building Performance from the Blank Up

Daiwa's reputation for rod excellence is underpinned by a suite of proprietary technologies that translate into real world angling benefits.

X45 Carbon Fibre: A special carbon fibre material layered at a 45 degree angle to improve torsional stiffness. This prevents the blank from twisting during casting, ensuring all your power is transferred efficiently for more accurate and powerful casts.

AGS (Air Guide System): AGS guides feature a carbon fibre frame, making them up to 40 per cent lighter than conventional guides. This reduces weight, optimises rod action, and heightens sensitivity, transmitting more feel into the blank.

HVF & SVF Carbon Fibre: These technologies reduce the resin content and increase the carbon fibre density in the blank. The result is a lighter, more condensed blank with a faster action, increased sensitivity, and minimal torque.

Diaflash: A reinforced structure in the butt section of the rod that prevents twisting under high pressure, ensuring maximum power transmission from the angler to the blank during casting and fighting fish.

FAQs

What does X45 technology do? X45 technology is a carbon fibre layering system that improves the rod's torsional stiffness. This prevents the blank from twisting during the cast, ensuring all your power is transferred efficiently to achieve greater accuracy and distance.

What is a rod's "action" and why is it important? A rod's "action" describes where it bends along its length under load. Fast action rods bend mostly in the tip, offering power for casting distance and quick hooksets. Moderate action rods bend more through the middle, providing versatility and good fish fighting qualities.

Are Daiwa rods suitable for saltwater fishing? Yes, Daiwa produces many rods specifically designed for saltwater use, featuring robust construction, corrosion-resistant components, and actions tailored for marine species.

What is the difference between HVF and SVF carbon fibre? Both HVF and SVF technologies reduce the amount of resin in the blank to create a lighter and more responsive rod. SVF contains less resin than HVF, resulting in a blank that is even lighter, more sensitive, and has a faster recovery.
