DAIWA Steez S65L+ SV・SMT [SKYBOLT]

Super sensitivity NEXT LEVEL that can only be caught with metal

DAIWA's unique tip technology, SMT (= SUPER METAL TOP), is a super elastic titanium alloy that boasts super elastic properties that return even when bent. Unlike carbon, it utilizes the vibration transmission unique to metal, so to speak, it realizes "metallic hand sensitivity". In the previous STEEZ, many models have been completed from early on that utilize this characteristic to achieve the ultimate sensitivity.
"The more we develop it, the more sensitive it becomes."

14FASTHAWK, 15FIREHAWK, and 16SKYFLASH SMT. Naoto Kawaguchi has examined all of them and finished it as an ultra-sensitive machine. Known as the keeper of STEEZ finesse, he aimed for the next extreme with the masterpiece “21SKYBOLT”, which can be said to be the final evolution of 12SKYBOLT.

The greatest feature of SMT is that it has the sensitivity to transmit metallic vibrations to the hand even when line slack occurs. As I mentioned earlier, I would like to emphasize this characteristic more than anything else. And if it is a metal, it is inevitable that there is a demerit in a sense that the specific gravity is higher than that of carbon.

In the past, it is also true that a rod design that converts the negative into a positive has been sought. However, 21SKYBOLT dared to switch to a paradoxical idea that maximizes its weight.
"With little input, the tip moves automatically and continuously. Micro pitch shake can be done freely."

A single shake amplifies vibration and converts it into repetitive motion. The addition of MNST on the top and KB guide on the tip also supports repetition. The metallic sensitivity of SMT was connected to SVF COMPILE-X from belly to butt, making it possible to transmit even the slightest changes to the hand.
“The moment you pick it up, the butt has a strong tip that feels fluffy.

It demonstrates excellent response to light rigs in general that sense slight changes in the bottom, as well as swimming types such as midst, bottom, and hobust. Focusing on various rigs with 1/16 oz.
"The world of light rigs, which I thought there was no more, has evolved again."

You can expect an ultimate machine that far exceeds Kawaguchi's ideals.
