DAIWA Silver Wolf EX 76MLB-S

Your Intuition Becomes Your Catch: The Arrival of the Ultimate Chinu Rod

Introducing the pinnacle model of chinu rods designed for anglers who relentlessly pursue chinu. This rod is packed with performance that captivates anglers in every chinu fishing scene, providing a feeling that it becomes more intuitive and familiar with each outing—truly a flagship product. The Silver Wolf EX is designed to clearly sense the bottom and offers a direct feel that allows anglers to manipulate lures as if using their hands. Its exceptional sensitivity and high responsiveness elevate chinu fishing to the next level. With a usage experience akin to a racing car, this rod delivers sensitivity and operability that directly appeals to the angler's intuition.

In the popular free rig technique for chinu, it achieves a sensitivity that makes it feel as if you’re tracing the bottom with your fingers, while in plug fishing, it enables rod actions that breathe life into lures. Made with SVF Compile X Nano Plus blank material, it possesses the power to penetrate chinu's hard mouth while maximizing its potential with X45X. The V-Joint α provides a supple feel that contrasts with its powerful performance, making fights easier. The guides are equipped with AGS (Air Guide System), which enhances the ability to accurately gauge the state of rigs and lures, allowing for quick situational judgments that significantly improve actual fishing performance in chinu fishing.

Under the supervision of tester Kohei Mori, a new sensation rod has been completed, honing the next generation of sensitivity and operability.

DAIWA Technology:

Expert Sense Simulation [ESS] When a rod bends, energy (restorative force) is generated, attempting to rise in the opposite direction. This is “strain energy” from a deformed blank trying to return to its original state, which is an extremely important factor affecting the rod's performance. DAIWA has independently developed a system for analyzing and designing “strain energy,” enabling precise numerical understanding of where a rod excels and where it falls short. This system allows for the incorporation of the angler's sensory domain into the design, bringing it closer to what anglers truly desire in a rod.

AGS (Air Guide System) The AGS achieves lightweight and high sensitivity by utilizing a carbon frame, offering approximately three times the rigidity compared to titanium. Its characteristics allow for high sensitivity that transmits even the slightest signals through the line directly to the blank without absorption. Additionally, the lightweight nature of carbon improves swing speed and quickly converges tip wobble, significantly enhancing casting distance and control.

SVF COMPILE-X Nano Plus This ultra-muscular blank is composed of significantly reduced resin and densely packed graphite fibers. Its high rigidity and tension lead to superior information transmission capabilities, resulting in a sensitivity that allows you to feel as if you’re physically interacting with the underwater environment. The reduced resin content also means lighter weight and increased power ranking, enabling the creation of much lighter rods with the same power or thinner rods with the same power and lightness. This blank is essential for fishing that requires instantaneous reactions to bites, providing acute sensitivity and strong butt power. Its slim design makes it easy to cast accurately without missing targeted spots, and its lightness allows for continuous casting throughout the day. This high-performance blank is further evolved through Nano Plus technology.

AIR SENSOR SEAT Featuring a carbon fiber-infused air sensor seat, this design achieves lightweight, high strength, and high sensitivity. Tailored specifically for its application, it provides operability not experienced with generic reel seats.

V-JOINT α By utilizing high-strength nano-alloy material at the joint and employing DAIWA’s precision processing technology, the V-Joint α has been born, evolving the V-JOINT into a stronger, lighter, and smoother bending version. In fishing where casting is repeated, thinning the joint improves the overall slimness of the blank, enhancing both castability and operability.

MEGA TOP The Mega Top features carbon solid with evenly distributed fibers and resin, exhibiting uniform bending in all directions. As a result, its strength has dramatically increased compared to conventional carbon solids. This enables the creation of a fine, flexible, and high-taper tip that not only resonates with sensitivity in your hand but also excels in visual sensitivity, allowing for the detection of bites.

Applicable only to the 76MLB-S model.

X45 Full Shield (= X45 Cobra Shield) The X45 Full Shield features a structure that tightens the twist generated during actions such as casting, action, hooking, and fighting from the most likely area of twist—the tip of the blank—using a 45° carbon bias cross. This dramatically improves twist rigidity, allowing for enhanced casting accuracy and the ability to maximize the rod's inherent performance.

Product Details:

■ High-Response, Durable Dedicated Blank That Appeals to Your Intuition

The high-response blank, lavishly wrapped in SVF Compile X Nano Plus, enables the instant identification of bottom texture and bite types, achieving high sensitivity that facilitates hooking. Furthermore, while it possesses the flexibility provided by the V-Joint α, it is covered by the outer layer of X45X to prevent power loss, enhancing casting distance and operability. The resilience from the moment of hooking, which contrasts with its sensitive feel, allows for landing fish while covering thin PE lines and leaders.

■ Sensitivity and Operability Enhanced by Multi-Point AGS Setting

By placing AGS at multiple points, the rod transmits its inherent power and direct feel to the angler. It minimizes line slack caused by wind, improving response during actions. The benefits of lightweight AGS reduce tip weight, supporting the angler's ability to perform actions while keeping the rod upright in chinu fishing scenes. The unique shape reduces the likelihood of troubles, thereby increasing the chances of encountering the next catch.

■ Short Grip Design for Unrestricted Operation

The short grip design has been meticulously crafted for optimal reel seat length, allowing for quick responses to bites during falls or actions while easily maneuvering in front of the body. The reel seat is made from lightweight, high-sensitivity air sensor material, providing excellent fit. Durable EVA is used to ensure long-lasting use, and the front grip-less design allows for easy blank touch.
