DAIWA Metallia Yari-ika 82-155

Lightness is sensitivity! The delicate bites of squid are also not missed by the metal top.

Lightness equals sensitivity! Capturing delicate bites with a metal top.
A dedicated squid fishing rod pursuing the optimal balance of lightweight, high sensitivity, maneuverability, and ease of casting. The delicate and highly sensitive metal top not only expresses the sensation of touches from deep-sea squid beyond 200 meters in depth through visual sensitivity but also through tactile sensitivity. It features a lightweight zero seat center grip designed for improved grip when using electric reels.
By incorporating "V-JOINT α" for joints and "X45" for blanks, the rod's power loss is minimized. It possesses maneuverability to jig the rig freely even in deep waters and has enough power to handle multiple hookups effortlessly, including umbrella-sized catches, and can also handle squid.
This dedicated rod supports aggressive squid fishing, encouraging continuous jigging to hook them.
