MONSTER TORQUE Rod Series
The MONSTER TORQUE series by Daiwa is a revolutionary Japanese ISO rock fishing rod lineup engineered specifically for conquering giant black porgy and monster-class offshore rock fish in the most demanding environments.
Developed around Daiwa’s innovative “Sticky Aggressive Mid-Bend Action” concept, the series delivers extraordinary toughness, powerful lifting torque, and deep bending control that allows anglers to pressure large fish aggressively while maintaining exceptional stability.
Unlike conventional body-action rods that mainly absorb fish runs passively, MONSTER TORQUE instantly shifts the rod’s bending fulcrum into the butt and lower middle sections immediately after hook-up, allowing the angler to stop powerful runs and maintain offensive control.
The rod blank is specifically designed to eliminate the sluggish response commonly associated with traditional mid-bend ISO rods, greatly improving casting sharpness, line mending precision, and lightweight operational responsiveness.
During heavy loading situations, the powerful #4 and butt sections engage instantly, generating exceptional torque and lifting force capable of controlling giant offshore fish around dangerous rocky structures.
At the same time, the upper sections maintain controlled flexibility and tension balance, allowing smooth pressure application without sudden stiffness that may cause line breakage.
The “tail long” models are specially tuned to stop the explosive first run of giant long-tail black porgy, one of the most technically demanding species in Japanese ISO fishing.
Rather than violently overpowering the fish, MONSTER TORQUE creates a unique elastic pressure sensation similar to pulling against a powerful tension band, gradually exhausting the fish while maintaining stable rod control.
Daiwa’s ESS Expert Sense Simulation technology analyzes strain energy and angler feedback characteristics to optimize blank bending behavior, recovery speed, fighting balance, and overall handling performance.
The SVF NANOPLUS high-density carbon blank construction combines lightweight performance with impressive rigidity, resilience, and structural durability.
The V-JOINT α construction enhances joint strength and load transfer between sections, creating smooth continuous bending and powerful recovery characteristics under extreme loads.
The TC-IM guide system suppresses line tangling while maintaining smooth line release and precise line control during advanced ISO fishing techniques.
The AIR SENSOR reel seat features an anti-slip finish and ergonomic oval profile that improves grip comfort, reel stability, and operational accuracy during high-pressure offshore fights.
The signature aurora-style MONSTER series finish changes color depending on light angle and is combined with metallic red accents representing the aggressive fighting spirit of Japanese ISO anglers.
Field testing demonstrated the rod’s extraordinary lifting power by successfully landing giant 68cm-class offshore fish under extremely difficult rocky conditions.
Combining Daiwa’s advanced ESS engineering, SVF NANOPLUS carbon technology, V-JOINT α structure, and revolutionary aggressive mid-bend design philosophy, the MONSTER TORQUE series establishes a completely new benchmark for monster-class Japanese ISO fishing rods.
