Manufactured using Daiwa's state of the art HVF Carbon Technology, the blanks are lighter yet powerful & strong, lightening the load for inshore fisherman who hold the rod in hand for longer periods of time. The rods are built with Cork and EVA grips according to angler preference depending on models. An innovative FUJI Backstop Reel Seat prevents premature loosening under regular use. The graphite constructed GRC Butt Cap keeps the rod weight at a minimum while eliminating the discomfort of a hard butt-cap.
