DAIWA Silver Creek Glass Progressive 46ULB-G・4

SVF GLASS is adopted in the new realm of glass rods, Silver Creek.

Using the same technology as SVF (Super Volume Fiber) carbon, the resin amount is reduced, and the glass fibers are densely arranged. As a result, compared to conventional glass rods, it is lighter and has reduced casting inertia. However, during fishing, it takes advantage of the unique flexibility of glass rods to follow the movements of the fish without losing them. Additionally, this rod has a rod action specifically designed for use with sinking minnows. Even with a normal retrieve using PE line, it maximizes the lure's swimming action. Furthermore, it allows accurate casting even with lightweight lures in the 2g range. As part of the Silver Creek lineup, this rod features large-diameter guides, ensuring smooth line flow and excellent casting feel. The guides are made with titanium Sic (Silicon Carbide). The rod's design is also meticulous, tailored to facilitate various fishing actions such as casting, action, fighting, and landing. For bait rods, a short trigger-type grip is adopted to facilitate flexible casting using the wrist.

A short-length multi-piece bait model designed to take advantage of high casting accuracy in mountain streams and headwaters, allowing precise targeting.
Combining lightweight SVF glass with carbon composite, it achieves a balance between the flexibility of glass and the maneuverability and sensitivity of carbon. By making it a 4-piece rod, portability is enhanced, making it easy to approach expeditions and unfamiliar fishing spots.
The smooth taper accommodates a wide range of lures, from minnows to spoons and spinners, without any quirks.

Short Trigger Reel Seat : 

Featuring a trout-inspired trigger seat with a natural wood spacer, each uniquely crafted to exude a trout-like aesthetic. Especially designed for easy and versatile casting using wrist action, we have developed a new short-trigger type to accommodate the growing popularity of bait reel usage in trout fishing styles. This is a genuine specification tailored for baitcasting styles in stream fishing.

A guide setting that allows for smooth line release : 

Setting larger guides than usual to ensure excellent line release and achieve accurate casting. Additionally, this prevents line blockages due to guide freezing during unexpected cold spells just after the fishing season opens.

Carefully crafted blank settings : 

Throughout the season, we conduct tests to maximize the benefits of glass while ensuring optimal usability without feeling too sluggish. We fine-tune the settings for each model to bring out the unique characteristics of each item.
