Sea Bass fishing is one of the most sought-after practices in France. Whether it is shore fishing or boat fishing, you will need to equip yourself with fishing gear which you can easily find within our Daiwa rod collection. A correct size reel and a properly adjusted fishing rod are essential conditions for a good balance between efficiency and pleasure.
The characteristics of the rod will be the first points to observe. Rods made of fiberglass, carbon, high module or not do not present the same characteristics and are not intended for the same uses. Each one has strengths and weaknesses to take into account according to the technique you want to apply.
SVF carbon will clearly be the best you will find at Daiwa. You can also focus on the quality of a cork handle, in EVA or monobloc carbon or models of rods equipped with rings such as AGS for example.
The fishing technique you use will also help you in your thinking. Indeed, for jigging, a revolving drum reel with multiple ball bearings and the accompanying casting rod will be more easily chosen. You may be wondering what lure for bass, and it's a good thing we have written an article to enlighten you!
In the same way, to animate a weighted head linearly at a great distance, we will opt for a range of rods for spinning. Surfcasting fishing will require other qualities that we will develop further down.
Daiwa also masters lure fishing, live catfish fishing as well as carp fishing. We will thus present you with a series of 10 rods ideal for bass fishing, depending on the different techniques and very varied practice conditions.
For Lure Fishing
The Crosscast 2023
A reference for many years at Daiwa, the Crosscast 2023 fishing rod comes in several sizes and strengths mainly dedicated to lure fishing. It will allow you to cover both light fishing and heavier practices.
Once equipped with a suitable size reel, you can depend on models for handling a light weight lead head for rock fishing with UL and L actions. Medium power models can be used for boat fishing on the fly and the most powerful ones for drift fishing, vertical or jigging occasionally.
The Caldia Seabass
The Caldia Seabass range is positioned a range up from the Crosscast. These two rod ranges are differentiated by the quality of the blank and its construction. The Caldia has a HVF blank (High Volume Fiber) with a X-45 Full Shield construction that brings robustness and reduction of twisting during casting or fighting.
These spinning rods are equipped with K-type frame-mounted rings. These are anti-tangle rings which are very appreciated when you have to cast into the wind and be reactive to the animation. The range includes a multitude of models that can be used from the shore, in a kayak or boat to meet the needs of all bass anglers.
The Saltist AGS series
As versatile as the crosscast series can be, this series of Saltist AGS III Seabass Edition rods is equipped with SVF carbon blanks and AGS rings. These latest generation components will allow you to gain in lightness and fishing comfort without compromising on robustness and practicality.
The blank is a concentrate of resonance and power serving all techniques and all battles. The carbon rings will, in turn, increase the sensitivity of the rod. You will no longer doubt between touches or not touches and no more excuses if you miss a fish.
The legendary Morethan Branzino series
These are the most high-end rods from Daiwa. The Morethan Branzino are equipped with AGS rings and a SVF Compile-X high modulus carbon blank that combines various resins for optimal fixation of carbon fibers. This technology comes from the collaboration with Toray and its nanotechnologies. We obtain blanks of unparalleled density, combining increased sensitivity with remarkable lightness and resistance.
You will be able to count on this series to sublimate each of your techniques. The set of 5 versions of this model will allow you to sublimate each lure technique with sensitivity and lightness.
For optimal resistance during battles, these rods have under-wraps under these rings. You will therefore be armed to overcome the biggest bars!
For Jigging Practices
Jigging consists of using metallic jigs or soft lures on a boat, most often vertically. We also talk about shore jigging. This involves the use of jigs but from the shore. The rods are then rather short for those intended for boat fishing and long for those from the shore.
The Legalis Shore Jigging
Ideal for shore fishing with a very affordable budget, this range of rods will also be noticed for its diversity. With 5 different models designed for shore bass fishing, you can benefit from rods from 2.74m to 3.20m designed to reach great casting distances.
The Legalis Shore Jigging has a strong progressive action to animate jigs and heavy lures. Equip this rod with a large capacity spinning reel and you will be equipped to go fishing for distant bass, from the jetty or the beach.
The Grandwave Jigging
The Grandwave Jigging series embodies an excellent quality-price ratio. These are rods that appeal to anglers who have to watch their budget but do not want to compromise on quality.
These 3 casting models are to be equipped with a casting reel, allowing you to maintain a pleasant and comfortable grip of the rod during battles. They are ideal for deep sea fishing.
The high-end Saltiga
The Saltiga range is one of the most known at Daiwa. Within this family, there are reels known for their reliability but also jigging rods. This 1.65m model with a power of 100 to 300g embodies power.
This is a rod for vertical jigging fishing. Indeed, it remains very manageable thanks to its small length of 1.65m. Its blank is made of HVF Nanoplus carbon (High Volume Fiber) mounted with x45 technology and reinforced with 3DX carbon for optimum resistance.
Other Uses
Bass is not only caught with lures! Indeed, bass can also be caught using natural baits and on the other side of the world.
Travel rods
Daiwa is recognized for its wide choice in travel rods. Travel rods are rods constructed in 3, 4, 5 pieces or more, allowing easy transport due to limited clutter.
You will end up finding a lot of models, like the Saltiga Air Portable for strong fishing or the Ballistic Travel with medium powers.
You should also pay great attention to the size that must allow you to fit your assembly into a suitcase or a backpack to avoid airline overcharges.
Surfcasting fishing
The Daiwa brand has also made a place for itself among surfcasting fishermen with a wide range of rods from the most affordable to the most sophisticated. The Crosscast Surf is an affordable surfcasting rod, available in several models with tubular or hybrid tip for fishing in rough seas or at a great distance.
On the high-end side, the Tournament Caster Evo has a very marked tip action with Fuji LC Titanium SiC rings for ever more efficient casts.
