The Daiwa 22 Seapower 66XXHST PE 8-12 Deep Drop Rod sports a blank constructed from Daiwas Glatech material,a combination of a carbon core wrapped perpendicular to the rod blankand longitudinal single axis fibreglass material which gives the rod the desired soft and shock absorbing nature. Since almost all fights areconducted with the rod in a gunwale rod holder, a softer blank action isdesirable for electric rods.

X45X Full Shield is also utilised to further enhance the torsional stiffness,a key component to dendoh rods which further reduces blank twist andeliminates power loss during the fight.Fuji Silicon Carbide SiC guides in a striking gold finish really set this rodout from the crowd. A heavy-duty ALPS swivelling roller tip controls the linefrom the tip preventing tangles and ensuring a perfect retrieve. A customDaiwa bent butt has been designed which was about achieving the perfectlength for the new Daiwa 22 Seapower 66XXHST PE 8-12 Deep Drop Rod.

Features:

• Glatech Construction –isa unique process which lays linear fibreglass sheet over a carbon blank to give the shock-absorbing nature of a fibreglass blank without the increase in weight and loss in sensitivity.
• Daiwa’s custom bent butt – is made to suit the specific needs of Australian anglers.
• ALPS Swivel Roller Tip –is made from aluminium, and highly durable and corrosion resistant, this is a tip designed for game fishing and features a highly polished finish and ball bearings for ultimate smoothness and roller function.
• Fuji SiC Silicone Carbide Ring – has been the gold standard of guide ring material for over 20 years. Super hard, light, and highly polished and smooth, SiC guides are an excellent dissipater of heat, making them ideal for light drags and/or big fish.
• Fuji Stainless Steel Frames – are light, strong, and highly corrosion resistant. Fuji stainless steel guides are tailor-made for Australia’s harsh conditions.
• 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.
