New Daiwa Rods.

[Ado]

Checked the website earlier today, then seen this... Never even heard of them, besides the presso and X rods... The presso rods look thinner then pens (I know they're not the JDM versions) I want one! (new rods up the top obviously)

MX Ajing

The new MX Ajing Megatop series is a revolution in sensitivity as it takes ultra light fishing to an all new level.
These rods are the pinnacle of sensitivity and feature Daiwa’s incredible solid tip Megatop. Unlike any other ordinary solid tip construction, the new SPX material binds graphite fibres with precise resin control for an extremely even distribution of fibre. The result of this is virtually no spine in the rod tip so it bends the same angle in any direction. This allows for incredible pinpoint cast control with even the lightest of weights and its incredible transference of even the slightest bump or vibration allows for the incredible bite detection unlike any other rod.
MX also features a minimal grip design, Fuji Titanium AT Sic guides to massively reduce weight and increase light line casting, Fuji SK reel seats and a carbon tubular insert to decrease weight and increase sensitivity
The MX Ajing series is the ultimate in light line fishing rods.

AVAILABLE LATE JUNE 2012

Features
HVF – High Volume Fibre graphite
Megatop
Fuji AT Sic guides
Fuji SK reel seats with tubular carbon insert
Minimalist ultra hard EVA grips
Technique specific actions

Harrier

The new limited Harrier series is a small range of ultra fast technique specific rods built with some of the finest components available. Designed for high sensitivity fishing techniques like soft plastics, small vibrations and jerk baits, these rods will pick up the slightest tap or vibration and transmit it to your hand.
Built on an ultra fast HVF blank these rods use Fuji’s Titanium Sic guides for maximum sensitivity, Daiwa surround hold reel seats, Airfoam grips and a unique woven thread butt section just for the “bling” factor.
Both models are very different. The 641LXS has an incredible strong butt for maximum pulling power and a highly sensitive fast tip that will relay the lightest of taps to an angler’s hand. Its primary use is for contact fishing techniques like the small vibrations or blades, “no sinker” method, dropshotting, light jighead and ultra light Carolina rigging.
The 6101 is an ultra powerful long distance casting rod that is ideal rod for dropshotting, jigheads, Carolina rigging, “no sinker “method and “blades” where the angler needs to have complete control. It’s longer length combined with a fast tip and highly powerful mid/butt section allows for long distance casting and will transmit even the lightest bumps even in rough gale force wind conditions.

wouldnt mind the HR 641LXS harrier

they look sick

[Ca11um]

They look wicked, all new 4 models!!! I reckon a 6'4" Harrier is in the works for plasticing The MX Ajing look great. Ajing rods are traditionally a rock fishing rod i believe (correct me if i am wrong) hence the extra length.

I must admit, I was a little angry at the aesthetics and the way they went with the 2012 exist, but the harrier looks sick... can't wait to see these. They seem PERFECT for plastics

[matt jorg]

Great, just what I need more temptation!!!
They look great the harrier looks like its being done already though basically a bling black label technical

[AverageAngler]

yea dude, i know what ya mean. i reckon that the new exists look terribly ugly, i mean i would love to go back to the older exist(silver one) or the steez but i love the magseal and the zaion rotor. like ive got a 2010 4000H sized saltiga and the magseal and the zaion rotor are just a dream to use

i personally love the harrier rods and can't wait for their arrival, but i wonder if the 6'4'' HR 641LXS will be too short for topwater stickbaits and flathead on hard bods. coz if so i might just match it to a 2004 steez and use fluro for crankbaiting.

otherwise if it isn't i'll just match it to a 2004 caldia(magseal)
Cheers, Josh...

Look good to me! Love the Harrier. The Tournament rods are pretty cool to, pretty much new Steez rods.

Was pretty keen on the 6'0, then continued to read that is was a parabolic rod

Daiwa's subtle way of saying "You want one! get ready to live off bread and water."

[chrislocke]

sweet rods but daiwa really should put an insurance policy on those rods...i'd hate to snap a $650 rod :/

[one kay gee]

I know i am beating up a Dead Horse here, but yet again, no Modulus Rating for the Graphite.

So the only comparo u could do would be 'in store'.

Ergh!
