Daiwa Sea Rod Daiwa Morethan Branzino 73 HMHFS Tide Feather Custom II

The Tide Feather Custom II now features a heel joint and is ideal for handling small shads from 10-12 cm with a 14-35 g head. It won't miss a single bite!

• 99% SVF Compile-X Nanoplus carbon blank with x45 fibre wrap and 3DX reinforcement
• V-Joint spigot joint
• Exclusive AGS carbon rings Daiwa. Under the first two rings is a layer of carbon that reinforces the blank to prevent the base of the ring from compressing the blank under heavy tension. Titanium Torzite head ring
• Exclusive DAIWA ergonomic reel seat with Fuji locking screw (66M and 73HMH) and ring customised in the image of the Certate 2016 reel.
• High-density EVA handle (made in Japan)
• State-of-the-art action
• Each model comes in a superb cordura protective cover
• Triligature on the guides to ensure the blank stays in place and is protected during strong pulls

The Morethan Branzino AGS rods once again push the limits of lightness and sensitivity. They are without doubt the most sensitive and accurate rods you can use for lure fishing. Inspired by the common name for sea bass in Italy, Branzino rods were developed for lure fishing for Labrax in Japan. Our rods are exclusively adjusted to fish European Labrax according to specifications that we pass on to the Daiwa manufacturing plant in Tokyo. This is how these exceptional rods are created, using the latest technologies such as SVF Compile-X carbon, which blends several types of resin to fix the carbon fibres better. Daiwa uses Toray's nanotechnology and optimises it with its own manufacturing processes to adjust the resins down to the nanometre! This manufacturing technique produces ultra-high density blanks that are more sensitive, lighter and stronger all at the same time. To push the level of excellence of this range even further, new AGS carbon rings have been tested. They are 30% lighter. The carbon frame retains its thickness but has a thinner envelope covering a new silver-plated cobalt oxide ring. The 30% lighter and 35% smaller frame increases casting distances tenfold by greatly reducing tip vibration during casting. To develop these new ultra-high-tech carbons, engineers at Daiwa Japan used ESS technology, which uses digital sensors to analyse blank force during casting and tension. The computer records and corrects the action of the rod with microscopic precision to fine-tune the expertise of specialist anglers carried out upstream.
