METALLIA EGITAKO Rod Series
The METALLIA EGITAKO series by Daiwa is a high performance technical rod developed exclusively for modern Japanese egi octopus fishing, combining precise bottom tracing ability, extreme sensitivity, and powerful hooking performance.
Specially designed for repetitive tapping techniques used in egi octopus fishing, the rod delivers exceptional lure control and highly responsive operability that allow anglers to maintain accurate bottom contact in changing underwater conditions.
Equipped with Daiwa’s ultra sensitive Metal Top technology, the flexible superelastic titanium alloy tip clearly expresses subtle octopus contact, seabed changes, and delicate pressure signals that conventional carbon tips often fail to detect.
The lightweight AGS carbon guide system mounted near the tip section dramatically improves vibration transmission and hand sensitivity while reducing front end weight for improved balance and reduced fatigue.
Its X45 carbon construction suppresses blank twisting during tapping, hook setting, and lifting, increasing operational stability, hook penetration performance, and overall rod control.
The dedicated egi octopus action design combines a soft controllable tip with a powerful butt section capable of lifting heavy octopus from the bottom while maintaining precise lure manipulation.
The lightweight Air Sensor reel seat enhances grip comfort and direct blank contact, allowing anglers to maintain high concentration and sensitivity during long hours of active boat fishing.
The S-175 model offers excellent balance between sensitivity and ease of operation, making it a versatile all round specification capable of handling a wide variety of octopus fishing situations.
Combining advanced sensitivity, refined tapping control, and powerful lifting strength, the METALLIA EGITAKO series represents Daiwa’s modern technical approach to Japanese egi octopus fishing.
