DAIWA Gekkabijin Air Ajing Boat 66UL-S/K

Flowers that bloom at night continue to shine brighter.

In 2005, DAIWA introduced the Gekkabijin series, a dedicated tackle for light saltwater game fishing. Just like the elegant flowers that bloom under the moonlight, the Gekkabijin dances gracefully, and anglers thrive with it. This tackle has evolved to target fish such as horse mackerel, which require delicate approaches despite being common targets, and cunning large rockfish that hide in rock crevices or among seaweed, waiting for bait to come close while staying vigilant. The Gekkabijin will continue to evolve with anglers, providing unprecedented joy and excitement. Its radiant beauty will continue to illuminate the light saltwater game.

Seize zero tension at will. A rod that pierces the upper jaw of horse mackerel like a flash of light. Designed for vertical contact game in horse mackerel fishing, it excels in both quantity fishing and handling large fish. The significantly improved tip section offers sharp sensitivity, enabling anglers to detect even the slightest bites and immediately set the hook. The rod also reduces fish loss due to unhooking or mouth tears.

DAIWA Technologies:

AGS (Air Guide System) The AGS (Air Guide System), featuring a carbon frame, achieves lightweight and high sensitivity. The carbon material has approximately three times the rigidity of titanium, ensuring that even the faintest signals transmitted through the line are directly conveyed to the blank without being absorbed. The lightweight nature of carbon contributes to the overall weight reduction of the rod, particularly enhancing the sensitivity of the tip section.

MEGA TOP R Combining Daiwa's proprietary manufacturing technology with Toray's T1100G fibers, the Mega Top R (carbon solid) offers significantly improved sensitivity and high-response operability. This high-elasticity carbon solid tip ensures uniform dispersion of fibers and resin, enhancing both sensitivity and responsiveness.

SMT (Super Metal Top) SMT (Super Metal Top) uses super-elastic titanium alloy in the rod tip, offering unparalleled sensitivity in areas where carbon materials fall short. This technology provides anglers with exceptional tactile and visual sensitivity, ensuring that even slight vibrations are transmitted to the angler's hand and visible as tip movements.

SVF Carbon SVF Carbon reduces resin content further compared to HVF, allowing for a higher density of carbon fibers. This results in lighter, more powerful, and slimmer blanks.

X45 Through extensive research, DAIWA discovered that adding a 45° bias cross (±45° slanted carbon fibers) to the traditional structure (0° and 90° to the rod tip) prevents twisting. The X45 structure significantly enhances power, operability, and sensitivity by preventing rod twist.

AIR SENSOR SEAT Incorporating carbon fiber, the Air Sensor Seat achieves lightweight, high strength, and high sensitivity. This custom-designed seat enhances operability, providing an experience that surpasses standard reel seats.

Product Details:

Mega Top R (Spinning Model), SMT (Bait Model) The spinning model features the Mega Top R for enhanced sensitivity, allowing anglers to detect bites previously unnoticed. The bait model employs SMT for exceptional load sensitivity, amplifying vibrations at the tip even with heavy rigs in deep waters.

Lightweight High-Sensitivity AGS Guides The carbon-framed AGS guides offer lightweight, high sensitivity, transmitting even slight line vibrations to the blank.

SVF Blanks for Lightweight and Power The tip-to-belly rig operation and the flexible yet strong butt section prevent horse mackerel from escaping after hooking.

Air Sensor (Slim Fit) Seat The slim-fit air sensor seat enhances precise control.

Gekkabijin Design Distinctive design symbolizing Gekkabijin.

Easy-to-Use Separate Grip Designed for ease of use, even when braced against the arm.

Orange Paint & Yellow Thread for Visual Cues The orange paint and yellow thread on the tip make it easy to detect slight changes visually.
