METALLIA BISHIAJI Rod Series
The METALLIA BISHIAJI series by Daiwa is a premium high sensitivity boat rod engineered specifically for modern Japanese bishiaji fishing, combining ultra responsive bite detection, smooth fighting performance, and lightweight technical operability.
Developed around Daiwa’s advanced Metal Top technology, the rod features a superelastic titanium alloy tip capable of transmitting delicate horse mackerel bites, subtle pressure changes, and underwater movement directly to the angler with exceptional clarity.
The highly sensitive tip section allows anglers to detect even the faintest “motare” style bites while maintaining enough flexibility to prevent hook pull-outs during intense close range fights with actively feeding aji.
Its lightweight blank construction delivers excellent maneuverability and allows precise chum control and rhythmic rod work required for efficient bishiaji techniques in offshore conditions.
The X45 carbon reinforcement structure suppresses blank twisting during rod action, hook setting, and fighting pressure, significantly improving control precision, power transmission, and overall rod stability.
The one-piece detachable butt joint system creates smooth and continuous power transfer throughout the rod while reducing stress concentration at the joint section, ensuring stable fighting performance even under heavy loads or strong current conditions.
The AIR SENSOR SEAT Power reel seat uses carbon reinforced resin construction to achieve lightweight handling, high rigidity, and enhanced vibration transmission while maintaining excellent comfort during extended fishing sessions.
The 6:4 action M models emphasize natural bait presentation, smooth feeding performance, and reduced hook pull-outs, making them ideal for relaxed offshore bishiaji fishing and rod holder techniques.
The aggressive 7:3 action MH model provides sharper response, quicker hook setting performance, and enhanced operability for anglers who prefer active hand-held fishing styles and rapid bait control.
Available in multiple lengths including 1.7m and 1.9m specifications, the series offers excellent adaptability for various fishing depths, current conditions, and regional bishiaji fishing styles throughout Japan.
Combining elite sensitivity, lightweight handling, and advanced offshore technical performance, the METALLIA BISHIAJI series represents Daiwa’s refined modern approach to Japanese horse mackerel boat fishing.
