5/5

I have been searching for the ultimate surfcasting rod for a number of years now, sifting through Multiple “high end’’ rods on the market. For some reason I just couldn’t seem to find the rod that ticked all the boxes for me…one that felt like home! Then finally that painful search ended when I walked into a nearby fishing store! I was immediately impressed by the striking Bright burnt orange Daiwa Castizm that greeted me from a distance and allured me to investigate further! As I picked the rod off from the shelf, I was blown away by the immaculate construction, top quality components and the overall feel of the rod. A few minutes later I left the shop with a smile on my face and a new weapon in hand! From the first cast I was not disappointed! The blank loaded effortlessly with a with a 5-ounce sinker and sent my bait sailing out into the depths. Although many rods can look nice, it doesn’t always guarantee they will perform well. This rod certainly did not disappoint! Landing my first snapper was an experience of pure joy. The way the hybrid tip flexed and absorbed the explosive runs of the fish gave the rod a unique feel and sensitivity. I felt totally connected to the fish the whole way through and could feel its every twitch! Although the tip has a softer action, you don’t need be afraid to put some muscle into a decent cast. This rod is well equipped for a solid thrash! There is plenty of lowdown grunt in the mid and butt section for those hard, long-distance casts. I’m yet to tap into its full power! A lot of thought has gone into the construction of this rod, from top to bottom. The balance between castability and fishability has been perfectly matched, providing a Rod with power, responsiveness, and absolute control. I have been using these rods for quite some time now and would highly recommend them to any serious surfcaster looking for a rod packed with quality features across the board. The rod will continue to perform well under the harsher NZ conditions and will produce a fishing experience that will continue to satisfy for years to come.
