METALLIA YARI-IKA Rod Series
The METALLIA YARI-IKA series by Daiwa is a high sensitivity technical boat rod developed specifically for modern Japanese spear squid fishing, combining lightweight operability, precise jig control, and exceptional deep water bite detection.
Designed for aggressive “attacking style” yari-ika fishing, the rod allows anglers to continuously work the rig with sharp jerking actions while maintaining excellent lure response and reliable hook-up performance even in deep offshore conditions exceeding 200 meters.
The rod features Daiwa’s highly sensitive Metal Top constructed from superelastic titanium alloy, delivering extraordinary visual and hand sensitivity that clearly transmits delicate squid touches, subtle “motare” pressure bites, and underwater changes beyond the capability of conventional carbon tips.
Its lightweight high balance blank construction greatly improves operability during repeated deep water jerking techniques while reducing fatigue throughout long offshore squid fishing sessions.
The V-JOINT α structure uses high strength Nanoalloy technology to create a smoother one-piece-like bending curve while minimizing power loss at the joint section, resulting in improved lifting power and stability during multi-hook squid fights.
Daiwa’s X45 carbon reinforcement technology suppresses blank twisting during rod action, hook setting, and fighting pressure, significantly improving precision control, power transfer, and response speed.
The AIR SENSOR ZERO SEAT center grip reel seat is optimized for electric reel operation, providing lightweight comfort, excellent grip stability, and reduced fatigue during extended deep sea fishing sessions.
The HVF NANOPLUS high density carbon blank construction increases strength and resilience while reducing excess resin weight, achieving an ideal balance between lightweight sensitivity and offshore lifting power.
The 82-155 model offers excellent hooking feel and quick handling for direct connection rigs and multi-drop setups, the versatile 82-175 provides balanced all-round performance, while the 91-165 delivers ultra fast technical response for precise aggressive control.
The rod possesses enough power to comfortably handle large multi-hook catches and even heavy surume squid fishing situations while maintaining smooth operability and excellent sensitivity.
Combining elite sensitivity, lightweight deep water control, and aggressive technical performance, the METALLIA YARI-IKA series represents Daiwa’s advanced modern approach to Japanese offshore squid fishing.
