The DAIWA EMERALDAS STOIST RT IL is the flagship model in DAIWA's eging rod lineup, crafted for expert squid anglers seeking extreme sensitivity, operability, and comfort. Featuring the advanced Reverse Taper (RT) solid tip, this rod delivers a smooth bend transition from tip to midsection, eliminating sudden stiffness and enabling seamless load transfer when casting lightweight egi or detecting delicate bites.

With its Interline (IL) structure — a tangle-free internal line design — the rod performs exceptionally well even in windy conditions or vertical eging from breakwaters and rocky shores. AGS carbon fiber guides (excluding the top) reduce weight and amplify sensitivity, enhancing your ability to respond to subtle underwater movements. The rod’s X45X construction and SVF Nano Plus blanks offer exceptional strength and torsional control, while the V-Joint Alpha improves joint integrity and power flow across sections.

Perfect for targeting squid in technically demanding environments, this rod is the ideal choice for anglers who value feel and precision above all.
