Daiwa TD Black IV Canal Monster Canal Rod Features
- AIR SENSOR REEL SEAT: Daiwa’s carbon fibre reel seat that’s minimal in weight yet high in strength and sensitivity. Our ultimate high-end, high-performance reel seat.
- SVF COMPILE X: Resin is further reduced and carbon density increased through nano technology to greatly enhance sensitivity, lightness and responsiveness.
- ZERO SEAT: Daiwa’s new reel seat concept that features a highly palmable design for ulitmate comfort and functionality in both spin, baitcast and overhead reels.
- X45X FULL SHIELD: X45X Full Shield Technology is 25% more efficient than standard X45 technology. With increased torsional stiffness, blanks armed with X45X resist blank twist during casting & jigging. This characteristic prevents the blank from losing stored energy during the cast, ensuring that every bit of force you put into your cast is transferred through the blank and ultimately to your chosen lure.
- HVF Nanoplus Blank: Lightweight graphite with nano resin for maximum strength and sensitivity.
- Fuji Alconite Guides: Anti-tangle design for smooth line flow and durability in saltwater.
