DAIWA Kohga Tenya Game MX MH-235MT/J

For All Anglers Captivated by the Red Sea Bream

The name "KOHGA" is inspired by the stunning crimson hue of the red sea bream and its razor-sharp fangs—a fish that continues to fascinate anglers.

This brand embodies the respect and thrill of the battle that comes with targeting such a remarkable species. The focus is on Tai Rubber and Tai Tenya, both demanding a one-on-one challenge with each fish.

To help anglers hook and land their catch with precision, DAIWA continues to innovate and refine its gear.

KOHGA will keep evolving—to deliver both the excitement of the chase and the moment of victory to all anglers drawn to the red sea bream.

Ultimate Sensitivity & Control—The Pinnacle of Daiwa’s Hitotsu Tenya Rods

Designed for unparalleled visual sensitivity and superior operability, this high-spec Hitotsu Tenya rod lineup redefines performance.

The newly tuned action enhances sensitivity and control, while the solid tip is optimized for visual detection, bite absorption, and maneuverability.

Equipped with AGS (Air Guide System) at the tip, it achieves exceptional lightness and effortless handling. The SVF high-density carbon blank ensures lightweight durability, providing outstanding responsiveness and fatigue reduction.

For enhanced palming comfort and weight reduction, the rod features the Air Sensor Reel Seat. With a diverse lineup covering Hitotsu Tenya fishing across Japan, this is the ultimate specialized rod series.

Two Specialized Tip Designs:

• Metal Top Models: Prioritizing visual and tactile sensitivity with a metal tip. M-240MT, MH-235MT, H-230MT, XH-225MT, MH-230MTB, H-225MTB
• Mega Top Models: Focused on visual sensitivity and operability with a Mega Top. MH-240, H-235, H-215

Daiwa Technology – Advancing Rod Performance to the Next Level

ESS (Expert Sense Simulation) – Sensory Field Design System

When a rod bends, it generates restoring force, which is the strain energy influencing performance. Daiwa’s proprietary analysis system precisely evaluates this energy, identifying strengths and areas for improvement. By incorporating angler sensory feedback, Daiwa ensures its rods meet the demands of serious anglers.

SVF Carbon

By further reducing resin content compared to HVF, SVF Carbon achieves higher carbon fiber density, resulting in lighter, more powerful, and slimmer blanks.

Metal Top

Utilizing super-elastic titanium alloy, this ultra-sensitive tip detects even the faintest vibrations that standard carbon cannot pick up. This allows anglers to sense subtle bites and weight shifts with extreme precision.

MEGA TOP

MEGA TOP is a uniformly structured carbon solid tip, providing consistent flex in all directions. Compared to traditional carbon solid tips, it offers:
✔ Enhanced strength
✔ Thinner, more flexible high-taper designs
✔ Superior tactile and visual sensitivity for detecting bites

X45 – Twist Resistance Technology

Daiwa's research found that preventing rod torsion requires a ±45° bias cross structure, in addition to the traditional 0°/90° fiber orientation. X45 reinforcement significantly enhances:
✔ Casting accuracy
✔ Rod action and control
✔ Hook-setting power
✔ Overall sensitivity and performance

AIR SENSOR SEAT

Made with carbon fiber, this lightweight, high-strength, and high-sensitivity reel seat is specifically designed for each rod model, offering unmatched handling that generic reel seats cannot provide.

AGS (Air Guide System)

Daiwa’s carbon-framed AGS guides are:
✔ Three times stiffer than titanium
✔ Extremely lightweight (especially at the tip, improving overall sensitivity)
✔ Maximizing signal transmission for detecting the faintest bites without loss of feedback

V-JOINT – Reinforced Ferrule Technology

By integrating a bias-structured carbon sheet at joint sections, V-JOINT technology creates a seamless, one-piece-like bend. It enhances:
✔ Power transmission
✔ Rod stiffness and rebound speed
✔ Smooth, natural action for ideal performance

Daiwa’s cutting-edge technologies continue to push rod performance forward, delivering unrivaled sensitivity, strength, and control to dedicated anglers worldwide.

Product Details
