DAIWA Emeraldas Air Boat 72MS/K

For Those Mesmerized by Enigmatic Emerald Eyes

The Aoriika (Japanese Flying Squid) captivates with its emerald green eyes, drawing in anglers. In the early days when night fishing for squid was the norm, DAIWA introduced the world's first eging-specific brand, Emeraldas. With innovative rods, reels optimized for PE lines, and uniquely designed squid jigs (egi), everything about the Emeraldas series was new, pioneering the genre of daytime eging. The brand's core philosophy is dedication, a principle shared by DAIWA’s developers and charismatic pro-testers, who rigorously pursue constant evolution in eging. They delve into both the simplicity and depth of this fishing style, uncovering its hidden charms as they strive to meet the emerald-eyed squid.

At the heart of the Emeraldas Boat series is the lightweight "AIR", now more refined than ever.

The AIR series is devoted to lightness. Refining the long-standing concept of lightweight design, it significantly enhances sensitivity and ensures fatigue-free operation for the angler, making every action—whether casting or jerking—the egi—a satisfying experience. The rod's lightness supports the angler's movements from every angle, continuously evolving while redefining previous standards. It is a rod that lets you truly feel the "AIR."

Features:

• AGS (Air Guide System): Lightweight, high-sensitivity carbon frame that is about three times stiffer than titanium, directly transmitting signals from the line to the blank without absorption, improving swing speed and control.
• SVF NANOPLUS: High-density carbon combined with Toray's Nanoalloy technology, offering superior strength, lightness, and a slimmer profile.
• V-JOINT α: Evolved joint technology utilizing high-strength Nanoalloy, ensuring smoother, lighter, and stronger bends in the blank, enhancing casting and handling.
• X45: A cross-bias carbon structure that prevents twisting, improving power, handling, and sensitivity.
• MEGA TOP: A carbon solid tip with uniform bending in all directions, offering superior strength, flexibility, and sensitivity for detecting strikes both by feel and sight.
• AIR SENSOR SEAT: Featuring a carbon fiber air sensor seat, offering lightness, strength, and high sensitivity tailored to specific rod uses.
