DAIWA Hera R 12

"Lightness is attack power." Lightweight spatula series "HERA R" is now available

The highest peak series of lightweight parallel spatula rods released
by Daiwa. Light, long, and rigid with a lineup of 12 to 32 shaku medium to super long developed by collecting the best of Daiwa carbon technology based on the stock theory design. Innovative parallel HERA rod series

• Stock theory design: A design method that realizes smooth transfer and uptake while balancing each scale by taking inspiration from the fabric composition of the Japanese rod.
• Super SVF Nano Plus (17-32 shaku): Toray Industries, Inc. Nano Alloy Technology Daiwa's original manufacturing method for carbon material "S-SVF" that has a higher density of carbon fiber than SVF and enables lighter and stronger rods. The combination made it possible to further increase the strength and reduce the weight.
• V-joint α: High-strength material including Nanoplus and Daiwa's original ultra-high-precision rod design and manufacturing technology improve the accuracy of stock theory design and the power to float crucian carp by smoother power transmission.
• Air gloss finish: Daiwa's unique surface treatment that maximizes the performance of carbon rods. Contributes to weight reduction
• Charge ring: A function that enables supple and tenacious blanks like bamboo knots by adding an ultra-thin carbon sheet to the right place of the blanks.
• Super ring structure (17-32 shaku): By increasing the roundness of blanks, operability such as reduction of rod shake and weight reduction is improved.
• New tactile spatula grip: A soft and firm grip realized by combining the three-dimensional effect of wound yarn and the coating that does not slip even when wet.
• Extra-fine spatula-only tip

"Unexpected length!" 13 items including 32 shakus with new innovations 13 items with 12 to 32 shaku including 32 shaku that attack new areas made possible by Daiwa Technology.
Year after year, we also transfer crucian carp fishing, and the number of scenes where delicate rod operations such as invitations affect the fishing results is increasing, and it is required to reduce the weight not only for long lengths but also for medium lengths.
In particular, "HERA R" emphasizes lightness and sharp usability, and the taper of each scale is not bound by the common sense of Japanese rods, such as the new lineup of 32 shaku and the four-joint 15 shaku that can aim deeper and farther.・ The knot balance has been reviewed.

"Unexpected lightness!"
Including Super SVF Nano Plus Carbon used for 21 shaku 97g ultra-lightweight rod Ayu rod, air gloss finish that gives off the brilliance of carbon itself without painting, stable and roundness With the super ring structure that creates a blank, we have achieved 97g, which is less than 100g with 21 shaku! By further improving the grip performance and adopting a new tactile spatula grip that can be firmly gripped, the weight is reduced and you can feel the lightness that exceeds the numerical value.

"Unexpected rigidity!" Secures power that is comparable to large swords
Lightweight = power that overturns the common sense of weakness is realized.
Exquisite balance by stock theory design, "V-joint α" that does not let power escape with smooth bending, and by adding a structure like a bamboo knot to carbon blanks, a charge ring that can store power even if it is lightweight and thin Achieves sufficient power to lift a large spatula from a deep place.

The "HERA R" series is a spatula rod series that emphasizes operability and can be used widely from competition to field fishing.
Not only does it have the power to firmly hold and float the crucian carp in response to the recent increase in the size of the crucian carp at managed fishing spots, and the small weight that enables delicate invitations and transfers, but also the direction and depth of turning in the middle. It is a new series developed assuming all situations of crucian carp fishing, such as reliability that can be used safely in field fishing such as lift-up with a chochin in the field.

There is a wide variation of 13 items from 12 to 32 R (shaku) :

12 to 16 R (shaku)

Demand for lightweight and medium-sized items such as shallow shelf sets aimed at offshore areas during severe times, pull-out chochins and step bottoms that require delicate invitations is increasing year by year. Due to its swing and lightness, medium-sized and lightweight items have the appeal of being unable to return to conventional rods once they are picked up. In particular, the 15 shaku has been made into 4 relays this time, giving it a sharp swing that allows for more aggressive attacks.

17-21 R (shaku)

It is the most frequently used lightweight item, and the balance between lightness and power is directly linked to the fishing result. "HERA R" has succeeded in reducing the feeling of weight beyond the specifications by reducing the weight of the blanks and the new tactile spatula grip that fits the hand more firmly without reducing the power.

22-26 R (shaku)

This item was developed with an emphasis on operability under the theme of "a long rod that can be used with 21 senses". While many rods of 21 shaku or more are made on the premise of chochin in dam lakes, "HERA R" has been developed with a view to situations in the field fishing of half-finished shelves. Of course, the lift-up power from the depths is of course, but in fact, the good transfer is the best selling long item.

28-32 R (shaku)

It is a practical super long item developed to aggressively capture unknown shelves and offshore points. Especially for "HERA R", we have developed an item called 32 shaku. It is an epoch-making item that invites you to an unknown area off the coast, a depth that you could not explore until now. The ultra-long length is an important factor not only for its lightness but also for its strength including durability. With Daiwa's original carbon technology cultivated with Ayu rod and stock theory design, it is a "ultra-long" that can be sent and swung with one hand.

Daiwa technology that realizes lightness : 

■ SUPER-SVF NANO PLUS (17-32 shaku) that achieves both lightness and power with high density 

To achieve both weight reduction and power of blanks, not only the high elasticity of carbon fiber, but also the amount of resin for high density , and the integration of the technology to mold the material is considered important. Daiwa uses its own technology to mold high-precision, high-strength blanks. In HERA R, even higher strength Toray Industries, Inc.'s Nanoalloy® technology is combined with Daiwa's unique manufacturing method to make it Daiwa's own Nano Plus, making blanks lighter and more resilient than ever before.

■ Super ring structure (17-32 shaku) that realizes lightweight and smooth capture

Technology to increase the roundness of blanks during manufacturing. Especially for thin lightweight rods like HERA R, it is an important factor in realizing smooth intake as well as weight reduction.

■ Thoroughly cut off waste and reduce weight 

Air gloss finish that brings out the performance of carbon blanks Daiwa's unique surface treatment that cuts off unnecessary parts to maximize the performance of carbon blanks. It is not only unpainted, but also removes as much of the excess resin as possible by polishing it. The glossy appearance of carbon black is proof of that commitment.

A new tactile hera grip that pursues comfort and ease of use, with a focus on lightness. 

By combining the conventional cotton thread material with a new tactile paint that does not slip even when wet, it is a new cornerstone that achieves a moist grip and ease of use. spatula grip. Regarding the HERA R, it is positioned as an important part that greatly affects operability, and the shape has been reviewed with an emphasis on lightness and handling rather than its own weight in the specifications. While maintaining a diameter that can be gripped firmly, the shape of the rear end of the grip, which is burdensome, has been redesigned to realize stress-free interaction with a large spatula. The lack of food clogging is also a big attraction in long lengths where gluten is used frequently.
