METALLIA LIGHT AJI Rod Series
The METALLIA LIGHT AJI series by Daiwa is a premium technical boat rod developed specifically for modern Japanese light horse mackerel fishing, combining extreme bite sensitivity, precise chum control, and fast technical hook setting performance.
Built around an aggressive 8:2 fast taper concept, the rod is designed for active “attacking style” light aji fishing, allowing anglers to accurately control bait presentation while instantly reacting to subtle bites.
The highly sensitive Metal Top made from superelastic titanium alloy delivers extraordinary visual and hand sensitivity, clearly transmitting soft pressure changes, delicate “motare” bites, and underwater current transitions that conventional carbon tips may overlook.
The tip section is equipped with Daiwa’s lightweight AGS carbon guide system, dramatically improving vibration transmission while reducing front end weight for sharper rod response and comfortable all day operability.
Its specialized 165 Tech action is based on Daiwa’s advanced Kyokuei Light Aji tuning concept, optimized for technical lure control, refined chum manipulation, and precise hook timing during competitive style light aji fishing.
The X45 carbon reinforcement structure suppresses twisting during rod action, hook setting, and fighting pressure, greatly enhancing sensitivity, stability, and power transfer efficiency.
The ZERO SEAT cavity trigger reel seat combines lightweight construction with excellent ergonomic grip comfort, reducing fatigue during continuous rod work throughout long offshore sessions.
Its underarm friendly butt length improves stability during active bait control and repetitive hook setting motions, supporting highly technical modern boat fishing techniques.
The 165 Tech model supports sinker weights from 20 to 60 and delivers an ideal balance of operability, sensitivity, and responsive attacking performance for modern light aji fishing.
Combining elite sensitivity, lightweight operability, and advanced technical control, the METALLIA LIGHT AJI series represents Daiwa’s refined modern approach to Japanese light horse mackerel boat fishing.
