DAIWA Kyokuei Maruika EX LC

Uncompromising pursuit of lightweighting without any compromise in actual fishing performance!

Pursuing lightweighting without any compromise in actual fishing performance. LC Light Concept. The zero-tension fishing method, which truly shines in severe conditions, requires even more delicate tip sensitivity. Simultaneously, it pursues rod power and action to respond to instantaneous hook sets from zero tension. Achieving lightweighting while merging tip sensitivity and hook sensitivity at a high level. Employing the Sensory Zone Design System (ESS). Next-generation 'AGS' with thin and lightweight N rings. High sensitivity 'SMT,' the greatest advantage in squid fishing. The ideal seat, the ZERO_SEAT, which does not feel its presence. Achieving high responsiveness with the X45 anti-twist structure.

Thin-walled and lightweight N rings :

Equipped with lightweight, high-rigidity, trouble-free R-type frames and newly developed thin-walled, lightweight N rings.

ZERO_SEAT : The ideal seat that makes its presence unfelt :

Cavity Trigger Seat: Lightweighting and Improved Grip Sensation As lightness is said to correlate with sensitivity, it directly affects sensitivity. By shaving off unnecessary material and slimming down, you can feel the material more directly, drastically improving sensitivity and maneuverability. However, when slim and tight, the grip may decrease, especially when a strong grip is desired. The revolutionary cavity structure achieves both lightweighting and improved grip sensation.

We aim for a shape where the step between the trigger and its surrounding area is minimized, reducing the strain on the finger placed behind the trigger.

Lightweighting (meat-cutting structure)

The bottom of the reel seat has a large R curvature, providing a comfortable shape even when gripped tightly.

At the same time, the front portion is narrowed down to allow for a more direct grip, enhancing sensitivity and maneuverability.

"Milled rear grip to stabilize the elbow rest.

Other details :

1．"AGS" R (Round) Frame
⇒Strength increased with SVF Nano Plus + T1100G.

2．"AGS" N Ring
⇒Downsizing is possible by using one size smaller frame while maintaining the advantages of thinness, leading to lightweighting. As a result, compared to the existing AGS specifications, a 25% reduction in weight is achieved. Especially, the lightweighting of guides densely placed in the tip section brings out the performance of materials one class above. (1) Sharper (2) Smoother (3) More sensitive (4) Easier to manipulate bait

3. Based on the "Kyokuei Maruika EX AGS F," the balance remains the same from the butt to the tip, but it is further lightened and sharpened.
⇒Regarding the tip section, it is made more flexible and faster, aiming for sensitivity and a suitable action for zero tension fishing. Mainly used for the longest season [Sinker 40-50g: Depth 50-60m], achieving high versatility.
