METALLIA HIRAME Rod Series
The METALLIA HIRAME series by Daiwa is a premium high sensitivity boat rod developed specifically for modern Japanese flounder fishing, combining delicate bite absorption, exceptional visual sensitivity, and powerful fighting performance.
Designed around the demanding requirements of live bait hirame fishing, the rod uses a slim high elasticity thick wall blank structure that delivers both refined operability and powerful lifting strength while maintaining excellent cushioning performance during aggressive head shakes.
Its ultra sensitive fine diameter Metal Top constructed from superelastic titanium alloy provides extraordinary bite detection performance, allowing anglers to clearly identify subtle “motare” pressure bites, bait movement, and bottom changes beyond the capability of conventional carbon tips.
The lightweight AGS carbon guide system equipped with all SiC rings dramatically improves vibration transmission while reducing front end weight, resulting in sharper sensitivity, lighter handling feel, and reduced fatigue during extended hand held fishing sessions.
The #1 section is specially tuned for smoother bite absorption from the initial strike, allowing cautious flounder to fully inhale live bait naturally before hook setting.
The high elasticity HVF NANOPLUS carbon construction increases blank strength and resilience while reducing unnecessary resin weight, creating an ideal balance between lightweight performance and powerful fighting capability.
Daiwa’s advanced X45 reinforcement structure suppresses twisting during casting, lure manipulation, hook setting, and fighting pressure, greatly improving stability, precision control, and power transfer efficiency.
The AIR SENSOR SEAT Slim Fit reel seat combines lightweight carbon reinforced construction with exceptional ergonomic comfort, providing secure handling and reduced hand fatigue even during battles with large hirame.
The V-JOINT center cut 2 piece construction creates a natural one-piece-like bending curve while improving portability and transportation convenience for offshore anglers.
Four specialized models are available, including versatile all-round specifications, ultra soft bite focused models, and high power versions capable of handling strong currents and heavy load situations.
Combining elite sensitivity, refined bait presentation performance, and powerful offshore fighting strength, the METALLIA HIRAME series represents Daiwa’s advanced modern approach to Japanese flounder boat fishing.
