DAIWA Battle Game Cover Metal Tune MH-240

A highly technical kabuse fishing rod designed to elevate both visual sensitivity and tactile feedback, enabling precise and highly refined presentations in demanding conditions. It features a supple yet highly responsive metal top that vividly translates subtle bites and faint signals into clear indication at the hand and tip, making it ideal for targeting highly cautious large fish. The blank delivers increasing power and resilience as it is deeply loaded, allowing controlled battles with powerful species such as large stonefish, Ishigaki-dai, and Kandai without giving them control.

DAIWA Technologies

Metal Top

A super-elastic titanium alloy tip similar in concept to SMT is mounted at the rod tip, delivering exceptional metallic sensitivity. It captures ultra-fine vibrations such as bites and subtle holding actions that conventional carbon tips cannot detect.

V-JOINT α

By incorporating high-strength NANOALLOY material and Daiwa’s precision joint engineering, V-JOINT α improves strength, lightness, and bending continuity. It enhances rod taper uniformity, improving casting, handling, and overall responsiveness.

X45

A bias cross structure with ±45° carbon fiber layers prevents twisting under load during casting, action, hooking, and fighting. This significantly improves power transmission, operability, and sensitivity while maintaining structural stability.

HVF NANOPLUS

High-density HVF carbon reduces resin content and increases fiber density, enhancing strength and toughness. Combined with NANOALLOY technology, it achieves further improvements in lightness and durability.

Product Features

• Highly sensitive yet supple metal top for both visual and tactile bite detection
• Soft tip design enhances natural bait ingestion while maintaining sensitivity
• Screw-nut style reel seat with ergonomic Air Sensor Oval Seat for secure grip and stability during fights with large fish
• High-visibility tip section with orange and yellow dual-color pattern for improved bite detection in low light or backlight conditions
• KW guides on the butt section to enhance strength and reduce line tangling

Model Lineup

S-240
A finesse-oriented model designed for highly pressured conditions, allowing the use of light leaders and delicate approaches. It supports controlled fights that prevent fish from running wildly, enabling a slow and steady lift.

MH-200
A highly maneuverable model ideal for precise bait placement and fine adjustments such as feeding line in response to bites. Optimized for close-range fishing from fixed platforms such as ikada or kake setups targeting directly beneath the angler.
Compared to the S-240, it has slightly more stiffness, providing additional stopping power against fish diving into structure.

MH-240
A versatile all-round model. The supple #1 section allows natural bait presentation with minimal resistance, while the rod’s overall length and action enable smooth, controlled fighting using rod stroke to tire fish efficiently.
