METALLIA IKA-CHOKKETSU Series Fishing Rod
The METALLIA IKA-CHOKKETSU series is a premium offshore rod engineered specifically for direct-contact squid fishing techniques. Designed for anglers who demand extreme sensitivity, refined balance, and uncompromising strength, this model integrates advanced Daiwa rod-building technologies to deliver elite-level performance on the water.
At the core of this series is the highly responsive Metal Top construction. The ultra-sensitive metal tip dramatically enhances vibration transmission, allowing anglers to detect even the slightest touch, tension change, or subtle squid bite. Compared to conventional carbon tips, the metal structure provides superior signal clarity, ensuring precise timing for hook sets in deep or challenging conditions.
The blank incorporates X45 carbon reinforcement technology, a multi-directional carbon wrapping system that significantly reduces torsional twisting during casting and lifting. This structural enhancement improves power transfer, accuracy, and rod recovery speed while maintaining lightweight balance. The result is a rod that feels crisp, stable, and highly controlled under load.
The blank is built with high-density carbon material to maximize strength without unnecessary weight. This balance ensures excellent lifting power when battling larger squid while still maintaining finesse for delicate presentations. The rod action is optimized for direct vertical jigging, enabling sharp jerks, quick hook sets, and smooth follow-through.
Comfort and ergonomics are equally prioritized. The Air Sensor Seat provides a lightweight, high-rigidity reel seat design that enhances grip comfort and increases vibration feedback through the handle. This reduces fatigue during extended fishing sessions and improves overall rod control.
Premium titanium guides with SiC rings offer superior durability, corrosion resistance, and smooth line management. These guides reduce friction and line stress, ensuring consistent performance in saltwater environments. The carefully spaced guide system also enhances casting stability and vertical lure control.
The METALLIA IKA-CHOKKETSU series is ideal for serious squid anglers seeking cutting-edge sensitivity, advanced carbon engineering, and dependable strength in a refined and lightweight design. Whether fishing deep offshore waters or targeting precise vertical zones, this rod delivers exceptional responsiveness, balance, and reliability.
