Daiwa Longbow X45 M Carp Rod - Spod 12' 2pc 4.5lb

The blank is built using the renowned Magnum Taper profile and incorporates the same materials as the previous build with the added inclusion of the X45 material to give the blank better casting properties. Designed and built in Daiwa UK, we applied the very latest design and material technology. We have also applied the ‘near skeletal’ TDG guides making the rod light weight and super responsive. A Seaguide DPS reel seat and Japanese shrink grip make up the handle parts. Features: Magnum taper blank profile - Designed by our engineers in the UK and Japan this now iconic mandrel profile gives you the perfect balance of a responsive tip action rod for playing fish and the perfect middle and lower part of the rod for casting. HVF (high Volume fibre) - This material has been developed to reduce the weight and increase the strength and stiffness of the blank. With a reduction in the resin content and more carbon the performance is increased V joint Alpha technology eliminates any potential flat spots that occur at the joint section of the rod. It gives you a perfect playing action and aids in increasing distance when casting. Seaguide TDG guides are lighter in weight than the traditional ceramic guides with enhanced performance. The guides have a larger internal diameter size for size with ceramic guides which means line can travel faster through them when casting. The guides also offer greater sensitivity and feel plus they have a special adaman coating which also increases the performance. Japanese shrink - We only use the best hard waring shrink on all the UK made rods. This in our opinion gives the best finish and feel for a handle on a carp rod Seaguide reel seat - This is a very reliable and good platform for and carp rods
