“Just hold and let the rod do the work” – A Dedicated Rod for Offshore Fishing Parks Equipped with a highly flexible glass solid tip, this rod supports both float fishing and subtle bite detection techniques like myaku-zuri. Its slim, well-balanced blank bends smoothly from the base and incorporates X45 construction and V-JOINT technology to suppress twisting and optimize performance. This allows anglers to effortlessly lift fish simply by holding tension, minimizing erratic movement and reducing the risk of hook pulls or line breaks—especially effective for sensitive setups or species like striped jack (shima-aji).
The high glass-content blank provides excellent flexibility and responsiveness to strong fights from species like yellowtail, smoothly absorbing loads and reducing stress on both angler and tackle. Designed for reliability during battle, even with wet hands, it features a screw-type reel seat made from non-slip EVA material to ensure a firm grip.
DAIWA Technologies:
X45: A unique 45° bias wrap of carbon fibers prevents twisting caused by casting, action, and fighting fish, greatly enhancing power, control, and sensitivity.
AIR SENSOR SEAT: A lightweight, strong, and highly sensitive reel seat infused with carbon fiber for unmatched responsiveness and comfort.
V-JOINT: Bias carbon construction at rod joints ensures a smooth, one-piece-like bend, improving power, rebound, and precision.
HVF NANOPLUS: High-density HVF carbon, optimized with Toray’s Nanoalloy® Technology, delivers exceptional strength and lightweight performance by reducing resin and increasing carbon fiber content.
■ All-Purpose Thick Glass Solid White Tip
Equipped with a thick glass solid tip that offers excellent visibility and supports a wide range of fishing styles, from float fishing to myaku-zuri (sensitivity fishing). The white tip helps detect subtle bites or gentle takes from less active fish, ensuring no strike is missed.
■ Air Sensor Reel Seat (Standard)
Features a screw-type reel seat that securely locks the reel in place during fights with large fish, providing stability and ensuring a reliable grip.
■ EVA Rear Grip
The thick EVA rear grip is designed for various fighting positions—against the waist, under the arm, or braced with the elbow. It provides stable control even against powerful runs from strong saltwater species.
■ Power Ranking Overview
This model bends more smoothly compared to previous versions, allowing the angler to apply steady pressure without letting the fish thrash. The MH version is ideal for targeting larger species, while the S version is suited for situations requiring finer tackle.
Target Species:
MH: Striped jack (Shima-aji), yellowtail (Buri), amberjack (Kanpachi)
S: Red seabream (Madai), grunt (Isaki), striped jack (Shima-aji)
■ Model Lineup (selected)
All-around model for both float and sensitivity fishing. Ideal for edge fishing in crosscurrents or during low activity. Can be used for all-day float fishing.
Description
S-270 / MH-270
myaku-zuri. Perfect for controlled bait presentation in strong currents or when fish are circling inside the holding pen. Offers excellent maneuverability even in confined spaces.
S-300 / MH-300
S-350 / MH-350
myaku-zuri styles. The extended length helps absorb strong runs and minimizes hook loss, especially for delicate-mouthed fish like striped jack.
Tester Impressions
Tester: Tanigaki
"Previous models emphasized flexibility with their glass construction, offering firm backbone to counter the strength of large fish. The new CBC series improves on this by using a slimmer profile that bends smoothly. If you hold the rod steady and apply gradual pressure, the fish will float up without thrashing. Even beginners can successfully land fish with this rod—highly recommended."
Tanigaki, who also specializes in float fishing, highlights that rods with a strong backbone often provoke fish to struggle, while more flexible rods calm the fight. The new design combines glass material with a slimmer blank, focusing on absorbing power and achieving a rod that “lets you land fish just by holding steady.”
Additionally, the 2.7 m length was chosen for its balance between control and reach, enabling precise bait placement in the fish’s path and maintaining consistent depth and distance.
