DAIWA 24 EMERALDAS AIR redefines the boundaries of eging rods, representing the pinnacle of Daiwa's technological research. Designed with the input of three Japanese eging legends (Takayuki Oka, Naoki Kimori, Yoshihiro Fukushima), this rod achieves a perfect balance of extreme lightness, sensitivity, responsiveness, and power. With an incredible weight of just 84 grams for the 86ML model, it makes no compromises on performance.
The core of this evolution is the SVF NANOPLUS carbon blank, a material that combines stiffness and lightness thanks to Toray's NanoAlloy technology. X45 technology prevents blank twist, ensuring linear power transmission and surgical precision. V-JOINTα ferrules, also made with NanoAlloy materials, give the rod a fluid bend almost identical to a one-piece model, enhancing its action and strength.
What makes the Emeraldas Air truly unique are the new AGS (Air Guide System) guides. Their carbon structure with a Cobalt alloy C-Ring not only makes them more durable but significantly improves vibration transmission, offering even more direct control over the lure. The AIR SENSOR Slim reel seat completes the design, further reducing weight and improving contact with the blank to feel every subtle touch.
Key Features:
Extreme lightness: only 84g for the 86ML model.
SVF NANOPLUS carbon blank for stiffness and responsiveness.
X45 technology to eliminate blank twist.
V-JOINTα ferrules for a one-piece rod action.
