Incredible casting distance
This rod lives up to its name. I was able to cast heavy lures much further than with my previous setup. The carbon fiber feels premium and responsive.

Daiwa quality as expected
Build quality is flawless. The guides are aligned perfectly, and the finish on the carbon is beautiful. Highly recommend for serious anglers.

Great power, slightly heavy
The backbone on this rod is amazing for hooking big bass. It is a bit heavier than expected for all-day use, but the performance makes up for it.

Solid upgrade
Upgraded from a medium heavy rod and the difference is night and day. Takes some getting used to the stiffness, but great for large swimbaits.

Perfect for heavy cover
I fish in thick weeds and around logs. This super hard action pulls fish out of trouble instantly. The gun handle fits my grip perfectly.
