Daiwa Kyokuei Akamutsu

Daiwa Kyokuei Akamutsu is a dedicated Akamutsu boat rod designed for an aggressive hooking style with exceptional sensitivity and control. Its specially tuned action combines a supple SMT super-elastic titanium tip with powerful supporting and butt sections.

The flexible SMT is softer than that used on conventional mid-deep-water rods, providing outstanding visual sensitivity for distinguishing subtle Akamutsu bites from other fish while also helping keep the rig stable near the bottom during zero-tension fishing. The stronger supporting and butt sections enable immediate hook sets into the upper jaw even in swells.

AGS carbon-frame guides enhance tactile sensitivity while reducing weight and tip heaviness. ESS, V-JOINT Alpha and X45 contribute to the rod's power, responsive action and controlled bending characteristics.

ZERO_SEAT uses a center-grip design made from carbon-fiber-reinforced Air Sensor resin, providing a secure and comfortable grip with both conventional and electric reels, including under heavy loads. A front grip and EVA rear grip further support high-load fishing.

The M-205 is a sensitive all-round model centered on 120-150 sinkers and is also suitable for light Akamutsu fishing, while the MH-205 is a more powerful all-round model centered on 200 sinkers. A rod belt and rod bag are included.
