METALLIA KISU Rod Series
The METALLIA KISU series by Daiwa is a high sensitivity technical boat rod developed specifically for modern Japanese whiting fishing, combining ultra responsive bite detection, precise lure manipulation, and aggressive hooking performance.
Built around an attacking style concept, the rod features an advanced high response fast taper design that allows anglers to instantly react to even the slightest pre-bite signals from cautious whiting.
The highly sensitive Metal Top constructed from superelastic titanium alloy delivers exceptional visual and hand sensitivity, clearly transmitting subtle vibrations, soft “motare” bites, and delicate underwater changes beyond the capability of conventional carbon tips.
The lightweight AGS carbon guide system significantly improves vibration transmission while reducing tip weight, resulting in sharper handling, greater sensitivity, and reduced fatigue during extended technical fishing sessions.
Its X45 carbon reinforcement construction suppresses twisting during casting, lure action, hook setting, and fighting pressure, dramatically improving operational stability, power transfer, and precision control.
The compact ZERO SEAT Compact Fit reel seat offers lightweight ergonomic handling and excellent comfort for pencil grip style operation commonly used in technical Japanese kisu fishing techniques.
The MH-165 model features an 8:2 action optimized for technical lure presentation and excellent bite absorption, allowing anglers to hook even the smallest bites with confidence.
The H-170 model uses a sharper 9:1 high response action focused on aggressive lure control and extremely precise attack style fishing for experienced technical anglers.
Its carefully balanced butt length improves stability and comfort during pencil grip operation, supporting highly refined rod work and precise hook timing.
Combining extreme sensitivity, lightweight operability, and advanced technical performance, the METALLIA KISU series represents Daiwa’s modern high performance approach to Japanese boat whiting fishing.
