Daiwa Monster Torque

Daiwa Monster Torque is an Iso rod series developed to fight monster Gure with an exceptionally tenacious body action. Its design focuses on bending rapidly into the body immediately after hook-up, absorbing violent runs while storing power in the thicker #4 and #5 sections to stop and steadily lift large fish.

Unlike Monster Force, which progressively transfers load from the tip toward the body and emphasizes lift power, Monster Torque moves the bending fulcrum rapidly toward the body to make its deep bending and torque easier to access. The Kuchibuto models are designed for a controlled fighting style that reduces sudden shock on lighter tackle, with M corresponding to approximately 1.

2 power and MH approximately 1. 4 power.

The Onaga models are designed specifically to stop the extremely powerful first run of large Onaga; MH corresponds to approximately 1. 75 power and H approximately 2 power.

Their blanks progressively bend under increasing load without an abrupt increase in stiffness, while the #2 section through the tip retains enough firmness for fish control. Technologies include ESS, SVF Nanoplus, V-JOINT Alpha, X45, MEGA TOP, Air Sensor Seat and IC Guard.

All sections use TC-IM guides to reduce line tangles and maintain line-release performance, while Onaga models feature a non-slip oval Air Sensor Seat for secure operation during powerful fights. The series also uses an interference-color finish with red glitter accents and includes a knitted rod bag.
