DAIWA Silver Wolf SX 71LML-S

A Chining Racing Machine Forged in Ultimate Lightness

The Silver Wolf, leading the absolute vanguard of the Chining (bream/black sea bream bottom game) scene, has reached its pinnacle.

Polishing "staggering lightness" into a razor-sharp weapon, the SX series features a high-modulus, hyper-sensitive Megatop R solid carbon tip. It is equipped with lightweight, ultra-sensitive carbon-frame AGS guides and an ergonomic Air Sensor Seat. By introducing premium Torayca® M40X carbon fiber to the blank construction for the first time in the line, the rod has been forged to be slimmer and lighter than ever before, with zero loss in lifting power.

Meticulously designed in close collaboration with the leading figure of modern Chining, Kohei "Morizo" Mori, and DAIWA’s expert development team, this next-generation racing machine is engineered to masterfully handle and control the most technical presentations. Take command of the wolves and ride them to victory.

DAIWA Technologies

• AGS (Air Guide System)

  
  

  

  A revolutionary guide system featuring rigid, lightweight carbon frames. Because carbon is roughly 3 times stiffer than titanium, it directly transmits micro-vibrations traveling down the line straight into the blank without absorption. Its featherlight weight dramatically increases swing speed and accelerates tip-recovery, leading to massive leaps in casting distance and line control.

• SVF CARBON

  
  

  

  By minimizing resin content even further than in standard HVF carbon, SVF Carbon packs a much higher density of carbon fibers into the blank. This material is the driver behind the series' incredible lightness, responsiveness, and slim profile.

• MEGATOP R

  
  

  

  A high-modulus solid carbon tip combining Torayca® T1100G with DAIWA's precise resin-control manufacturing. It drastically enhances sensitivity and delivers instantaneous, high-response jig and lure control.

• X45 FULL SHIELD

  
  

  

  An advanced reinforcing structure that completely neutralizes blank twisting during casting, actioning, hooksetting, and fighting. By wrapping a 45° carbon bias cross sheet over the outermost layer—stretching all the way from the tip where twisting is most severe—it drastically increases torsional rigidity, drawing out the absolute maximum performance inherent in the blank.

• AIR SENSOR SEAT

  
  

  

  Constructed with carbon fiber, the Air Sensor Seat achieves ultimate weight reduction, high strength, and exceptional sensitivity. Custom-engineered with a slim-fit, blank-touch design, it delivers a direct connection to the blank that standard, general-purpose reel seats cannot match.

• V-JOINT α

  
  

  

  Utilizing high-strength Nanoalloy® material at the joints and DAIWA's precise machining, V-Joint $\alpha$ has evolved to be lighter, stronger, and smoother-bending than standard joints. By thinning the joint section, it allows the entire blank to be designed with a slimmer profile, significantly improving swing speed and rod-tip feel.

Product Details

• Lightness that Surpasses the Flagship EX Series

  
  

  

  Developed with a single-minded focus on raw weight reduction, the SX series achieves a level of lightness that actually surpasses the premium EX models. The synergy of newly adopted M40X carbon and DAIWA's SVF creates a crisp, highly responsive, and hyper-sensitive blank—perfect for long-distance casting and instantaneous hooksets.

  (The 76MLB-S weighs an astonishing 88g).

• Multi-Point AGS Guide Train

  
  

  

  Leveraging the featherlight characteristics of carbon-frame AGS guides, DAIWA implemented a multi-point guide setting. This offers four major advantages:

  1. Staggering sensitivity transmission.
  2. Enhanced crosswind resistance.
  3. Prevention of power loss along the blank curve.
  4. Minimal line slack, ensuring lightning-fast, positive hooksets.
• Short Grip Design for High-Response Handling

  
  

  

  To instantly react to subtle bites on the retrieve or during the fall, the reel seat length has been shortened to the absolute sweet spot. This allows comfortable, rapid rod manipulation directly in front of your body. The Air Sensor reel seat is light, sensitive, and offers an extremely secure grip.

Item Lineup (Model Descriptions)

Baitcasting Models

• 71LMLB-S (Aggressive Finesse Model)
  • Description: An aggressive finesse model that truly shines when paired with a small-spool, small-diameter baitcasting reel. Built to accurately place light rigs into tight structures at short-to-medium ranges, it possesses an unexpected backbone and robust butt power to instantly seize control of the fight once hooked.
• 76MLB-S (The Royal Road / Definitive Free-Rig Model)
  • Description: Developed as an extension of pro angler Kohei "Morizo" Mori’s own hand, this is the definitive king of free-rig fishing. The blank has been polished to be the lightest in Silver Wolf history, elevating bottom-sensing sensitivity into an entirely different dimension.
• 71MB-S (Short-Length Power "Beast Finesse" Model)
  • Description: A highly maneuverable, short-length power model. It offers razor-sharp feedback that registers even the most subtle changes in bottom terrain, backed by robust pulling power that refuses to yield to monster-class fish. This is the ultimate "Beast Finesse" tool.
• 80MB-S (High-Sensitivity Long-Cast Model)
  • Description: A specialized long-distance casting model. The slim blank made possible by M40X construction dramatically increases swing speed. Despite its 8-foot length, it easily outcasts the previous-generation AIR 83MB-S while delivering a significant upgrade in sensitivity.

Spinning Model

• 71LML-S (Technical Spinning Model)
  • Description: A technical spinning rod designed for ultimate line-slack control. It excels in tricky situations that are highly challenging for baitcasting gear, such as coaxing inactive, tight-lipped fish to bite, or executing mid-water column/suspension presentations.
