With a wide range of technique specific models, the Daiwa Tatula Elite Series Casting Rods were designed from the ground up by several Daiwa pros such as Patrick Walters, Seth Feider, Randy Howell, Takahiro Omori, Brent Ehrler, Ish Monroe, Cory Johnston, Cody Meyer and Chris Johnston. Actions, powers, lengths, grip material and more were selected by each individual pro with free reign, giving themselves their own ideal rod well suited for the techniques that have made them famous throughout their careers. This all translates to rods that both casual and pro alike can fish, with all the guess work taken out, giving you more productive time on the water. Each rod utilizes Daiwa’s SVF Nanoplus Technology (Super High Volume Carbon Fiber) which combines precise resin control and unidirectional graphite fiber to produce a blank that has maximum graphite density. This ultimately creates a blank that is extremely lightweight, robust, powerful, and sensitive, all the qualities you want in any fishing rod. Daiwa also implemented their X45 Technology, which eliminates blank twist, therefore increasing power. X45’s Bias Wrap Construction uses a left/right 45-degree carbon weave within the blank, radically improving the rod strength and durability along with preventing blank ovalization. Each rod utilizes a AIRSENSOR Reel Seat, made from lightweight SVF carbon, which increases the sensitivity transmitted from the blank to your hand and provides a more compact and comfortable feel.
