Daiwa Black Widow Lure Rod 8' 7-28g

The Daiwa Black Widow Lure Rod 8' 7-28g is a two-piece spinning rod designed for casting light to medium lures, including soft plastics, spinners, spoons, and small crankbaits. Built on an HMC+ carbon blank, the rod has an overall weight of 145 grams and collapses to a closed transport length of 126 cm. The blank design features a mottled water-pattern finish across the butt section that transitions into a non-reflective matte finish on the upper tip section.

The rod utilises a fine hollow tip section with a Medium-Soft (MS) power rating, engineered to register subtle bites while providing casting power for lure loads from 7 g to 28 g. The hollow tip profile transfers lure vibrations down the blank while retaining mid-section firmness to set hooks at distance.

Equipped with stainless steel guide frames and Zirconia ceramic inserts, the guide layout reduces line friction and prevents grooving from braided mainlines or monofilament. The handle assembly combines a classic cork foregrip with duo-tone camo EVA handle sections, completed with an integrated hook keeper ring on the blank for securing lures during bank movement.
