NEW Daiwa DX-Bass Line of Rods.

Post by E73Bass » Sat Jul 11, 2015 12:51 am

So like the Tatula-Tactical:---Exclusive to TW:

Looks like Daiwa Snuck in a New Rod line...EXCLUSIVE to TW. So TW is having DAIWA mfg some rods just exclusive to them for now....Possibly to test how the FULL CORK is still received in USA ?

I Think the Crank Rod specs other then handle lengths are off.
Alot of 8 foot sticks now and coming in Daiwa's FULL LINEUP OF ALL RODS.

First time I have seen Daiwa use the term MODERATE...they usually use the term REGULAR, FAST, and EX-FAST.

HVF graphite. Depending on the guides they look pretty nice.

They are truly TW exclusive as nothing in new 2015-2016 Daiwa catalog are similar.

Like all new rods that are coming out these days...they have short handle disease. A 7'3"XH with a 14 1/4" handle doesn't cut it for me.

It states IM7 graphite under the description, but noticed hvf on the rod in one of the pics. So I wonder which is correct.

I would say that pic is thexact same pic that is used on both series of DX-Bass Rods....the crank and the cast and the spin. So who knows really....Doubt that all 3 models are same action/power and lure and line weight. Guess after this week we will know more.

My understanding has always been that their HVF is IM7...

Didn't know that thanks. I recently purchased a daiwa dxw walleye rod that's IM7 and it's awesome. Felt better to me than the expensive loomis and shimano rods in store. I guess I never thought IM7 could be so great.

I asked TW about the IM7/HVF today. I was told it is IM7 graphite and the HVF is part of the construction process. They have updated the description on the site to reflect this.

I love daiwa but 140 for these?

I can find better rods for cheaper unless these are somehow sleeper rods.
