Featuring a Carbon Monocoque Rear Grip — A Next-Generation Seabass & Multi-Shore Casting Rod
Born to let you enjoy lure fishing under the clear blue sky or a starlit night, SKYHIGH is a saltwater multi-purpose rod that makes every cast refreshing and satisfying.
The blanks are designed with a strong focus on long-distance casting, making it easy for any angler to load the rod and release stress-free casts. For the first time ever in a DAIWA seabass rod, the carbon monocoque rear grip is introduced to enhance both sensitivity and control.
Outfitted with stainless steel K-guides, this rod minimizes line trouble and improves overall usability during actual fishing.
Perfect not just for seabass, but also for flatfish, light shore jigging, chinning, and coastal cherry salmon. The versatile lineup covers a wide range of targets, offering options for all waters — from Hokkaido to Okinawa.
100M Long model suited for open-area fishing. Designed for long casts in estuaries, surf, and breakwaters. Supports 12 cm-class minnows, sinking pencils, and even heavier vibration lures. Versatile enough to handle seabass, bluefish, and flatfish alike
DAIWA Technology
X45 Prevents twisting caused by casting, retrieving, hooking, or fighting fish. Through years of research, DAIWA found that wrapping carbon fibers at a ±45° angle in addition to the conventional 0° and 90° layers best prevents blank distortion. The result is dramatically improved power, control, and sensitivity.
AIR SENSOR SEAT Made with carbon fiber, this custom-designed reel seat offers light weight, high rigidity, and exceptional sensitivity. It enhances handling performance beyond what universal reel seats can deliver.
HVF Carbon Instead of relying heavily on resin (which adds weight but not strength), DAIWA increases carbon fiber density to create High Volume Fiber (HVF) carbon, a muscular and powerful material ideal for rods that demand resilience and strength.
Product Features
Stylish Carbon Monocoque Rear Grip The first-ever carbon monocoque rear grip on a DAIWA seabass rod not only improves the rod's aesthetics but also increases rigidity, reducing power loss during casting and enhancing sharpness and control.
High-Performance Blank Made with lightweight, high-strength HVF carbon, the blank delivers outstanding balance and maneuverability. Ideal for seabass, but also well-suited for techniques requiring precise rod work, such as chinning, cutlassfish jigging (wind-style), and light shore jigging. Even the long-length surf models remain lightweight and easy to handle. The addition of X45 construction brings further sharpness and control.
Stainless Steel K-Guides with Alconite Rings Equipped with K-guides to prevent line tangling. From tip to butt, all guides use smooth, line-friendly Alconite rings to ensure a trouble-free fishing experience.
