DAIWA MADVIPER FANG
The MADVIPER FANG series is built for targeting aggressive, powerful predators in offshore and deep-water environments. Designed to deliver exceptional bite detection, hook-setting performance, and overwhelming lifting power, the rod features a reinforced blank structure capable of handling high-drag settings, heavy rigs, and intense fights with large fish species such as amberjack, tuna, grouper, and other strong pelagic or bottom-dwelling predators.
Its blank construction uses Daiwa’s high-strength carbon material combined with enhanced reinforcement layers that offer superior durability and torsion resistance. This provides both a crisp, responsive feel and the torque needed to control explosive runs. The rod’s action is tuned for powerful hook sets while maintaining a smooth, deep bending curve that reduces angler fatigue during prolonged battles.
The tip section is responsive enough to clearly transmit vibrations and detect subtle pre-strike movements, while the mid-to-butt section delivers immense backbone strength for fighting large fish. This balanced design enables anglers to maintain consistent pressure, prevent slack, and handle sudden directional changes from trophy-class fish.
Equipped with a high-durability guide system optimized for heavy lines, metal jigs, and large baits, the MADVIPER FANG supports a variety of offshore techniques including deep jigging, live baiting, drift fishing, and high-load vertical applications. Its robust reel seat ensures secure attachment for both large conventional reels and high-power electric models.
The grip design prioritizes stability and comfort, providing a firm hold even under extreme load. The overall build reflects Daiwa’s premium offshore philosophy—strength, efficiency, and precise control.
The MADVIPER FANG series is ideal for expert anglers targeting aggressive trophy predators, offering the power, sensitivity, and toughness needed for extreme offshore fishing.
