DAIWA Lateo Boat Seabass 68MHS/W

A rod that attracts seabass and anglers by controlling lures without stress.

A rod that allows you to manipulate lures without stress and enjoy technical boat seabass games.
The standard series of boat sea bass rods, LATEO BS, has undergone a model change.
With the basic performance greatly improved, casting has been improved in long distance casting and accuracy, and when operating the lure, you can not only jerk and walk on the dock, but also change the trajectory of the lure at will.
I want you to feel the pleasant casting feel that makes the lure fly like a bullet until the end, and the joy of moving a sharply moving lure.
Also, by reviewing the tip taper and guide balance, trouble-free performance has been greatly improved.
Thread tangles to the tip are greatly suppressed in headwind or crosswind conditions. The lineup covers the latest trends, from finesse fishing with worms to trendy jerk baits and large top waters.
In addition to sea bass, it can also be used for flatfish and Spanish mackerel games in the back of the bay.
