DAIWA Presso Limited AGS 63UL 20th Anniversary

It was a little over 20 years ago that the image of fishing ponds was dispelled and it became known as area fishing. PRESSO was born in 2003, exactly 20 years ago when area fishing began to establish itself as a genre of fishing.

At that time, tackle specifically for area fishing was scarce, and the quality and quantity were far from what they are today. Under such circumstances, many area anglers were surprised by the arrival of PRESSO, a so-called family brand that has a lineup of area-specific tackle, including not only area lures but also rods, reels, lines, and accessories.

The brand concept at the time of its debut was not just to catch trout, but to enjoy area fishing in style. The image color is orange, which stands out and appeals to people, and the butterfly-themed logo is based on the P and S of PRESSO, making its debut with an emphasis on style. This concept of enjoying fishing in style has remained unchanged to this day.

PRESSO means "close" in Italian. The area is not only surrounded by nature, but also in areas adjacent to residential areas, so the field is closer than other types of fishing. And you can enjoy it easily. Since fishing is such a familiar thing, PRESSO has a concept of stylish fishing that collaborates with everyday fashion.

The famous rods of all time sought by professional staff are now equipped with the latest technology.

PRESSO 20th Anniversary, which has undergone significant evolution, is particularly noteworthy for "SVF compile-X NANOPLUS."
In addition to making the rod lighter and more sensitive, it responds sharply and exactly as the angler wants when casting, hooking, or manipulating lures.
The grip uses a separate grip, but has a length and shape that provides a strong grip.
The exterior uses aluminum parts that are lightweight but have a new appearance.
The case is a cylindrical semi-hard case that prevents damage during storage or in the car.

Produce by Takada Tatsuya : 

Reproduces a model with excellent total balance.

It has been 20 years since we have worked together with PRESSO. Takada has been involved in the development of a huge number of rods. I love all of the models, but the one I'm especially fond of is the PRESSO LIMITED AGS 63 UL released in 2011.
``It's not a rod that has one outstanding performance and is specialized for a specific lure or fishing method, but a rod that has a great balance of all the basic performances you want from a rod, such as casting, hooking, bending and pulling. Especially in terms of sensitivity, it was overwhelmingly superior to any rod I had used up until then.”

Takada's style of fishing is very simple. Although he is faithful to the basics of lure fishing, such as casting and reeling, his skills are extremely high, such as attacking precisely in increments of a few centimeters and drawing out 100% of the lure's response. The PRESSO LIMITED AGS 63UL was a model that was perfectly adjusted to Takada's fishing style. And this 20th Anniversary 63UL was developed in a way that sublimated the 63UL from 12 years ago.
"The circumstances of the area have changed over the past 12 years. With the spread of ester lines and the increased use of micro spoons, we cannot continue to develop rods in the same way as we did 12 years ago."

The 20th Anniversary model 63UL was developed with the aim of improving casting performance while considering compatibility with the ester line. During its development, we paid particular attention to the guides settings. By setting the guide to eliminate the spiral of the line released from the reel in as short a distance as possible, the compatibility with Ester line has improved, and micro spoon casting has become stress-free.
``Sensitivity and operational feel have improved tremendously thanks to the SVF COMPILE-X NANOPLUS.It turns smoothly, and even when interacting with large trout, you can firmly hold the bat from the belly.Basically. The balance of performance remains the same as the 63UL rod feel from 12 years ago, and the performance of each has definitely improved thanks to the rod technology that has evolved over the past 12 years.

Before we get into the latest technology, let's start with the unified design of each model.

Newly shaped lightweight aluminum parts are used for the foregrip and end nut. It has a stylish design that reminds you of a machine. The grip uses a separate type. The slightly longer mid-grip provides excellent hold while ensuring lightness.

The end cap has a new shape with the 20th anniversary logo engraved on it.

※※ If the butt part hits the ground strongly, the aluminum parts may be damaged, so we recommend using a rod stand.

A new grip that is both lightweight and comfortable to use.

Adopts a new grip shape that combines lightness and holding performance. All types of fishing can be done comfortably, from fishing with coils to fishing with control plugs.

AGS&CWS

Combining lightweight and highly sensitive AGS with CWS, we have achieved unprecedented sensitivity, swing feel, and no weight.
