KYOKUEI EGITAKO Rod Series
The KYOKUEI EGITAKO series by Daiwa is a premium rod developed specifically for modern egi octopus fishing, combining exceptional sensitivity, precise lure control, and powerful lifting strength.
Designed for technical bottom tracing and continuous tapping action, the rod delivers excellent operability that allows anglers to maintain precise egi movement while detecting subtle octopus contact.
Equipped with Daiwa’s legendary Super Metal Top technology, the flexible and ultra sensitive tip transmits delicate underwater signals with remarkable clarity, helping anglers recognize the exact moment an octopus grabs the lure.
The AGS carbon guide system reduces overall weight while significantly improving vibration transmission, creating a lightweight yet highly responsive rod optimized for all day boat fishing comfort.
Built with Daiwa’s ESS Expert Sense Simulation design philosophy, the blank achieves an ideal balance between sensitivity, hook setting response, and lure manipulation performance.
Its X45 reinforced carbon structure minimizes blank twisting during aggressive hook setting and lifting, providing stable power transmission and the strength needed to control large octopus in deep water.
The lightweight ZERO SEAT cavity trigger reel seat enhances grip stability and comfort, reducing fatigue during long hours of repetitive tapping techniques unique to egi octopus fishing.
Available in specialized actions such as the sensitive S model and the more powerful MH model, the series adapts to both shallow water finesse fishing and aggressive deep water octopus strategies.
Combining lightweight performance, high sensitivity, and powerful hooking ability, the KYOKUEI EGITAKO series represents Daiwa’s advanced approach to technical octopus fishing.
