Daiwa Kyokuei Light Hirame

Daiwa Kyokuei Light Hirame is a flagship light-tackle Hirame boat rod designed to balance supple bite acceptance with sharp sensitivity and precise control. Daiwa's new balance theory and ESS optimize the transition from the flexible tip through the supporting section, maintaining a supple action without sacrificing responsiveness.

The rod combines AGS carbon-frame guides with an SMT super-elastic titanium alloy tip to transmit subtle underwater information and clearly express delicate bites and changes in load. V-JOINT Alpha enables the portable center-cut two-piece construction to retain strength and a smooth, natural bending curve, while X45 suppresses blank twisting for tighter control.

The ZERO_SEAT cavity trigger, made from carbon-fiber-reinforced Air Sensor resin, is designed for light weight, sensitivity, comfortable palming and freedom of grip. M-220 is the lighter and more flexible model, particularly suited to vertical drifting, calm conditions and summer Hirame fishing.

MH-235 is the versatile all-round model for horizontal drifting, stronger wind and waves, and a wider range of conditions, including situations where the rod may be placed in a holder.
