Daiwa

We have taken the tried and trusted Magnum Taper profile, used for many years by top European carp anglers and given Danny Fairbrass the freedom to design his own specification and finish.
The result is a highly distinctive but subtle look using a low glare silk matt finish and selected medium profile, high diameter SiC guides. With a butt guide of 50mm the following intermediates of 38mm and 32mm they are designed to ‘funnel’ the line travel towards the tip. A set up that is preferred by big hitters out there.

Delivering Danny’s own look too is the handle combination. Starting with a Fuji reel seat and stainless steel trim rings the handle maintains an elegant feel thanks to the profiled NS grip that continues to the butt. Flared at the end for better gripping this stylised treatment is finished off with a stainless steel butt cap.

Echoing the tag of a predecessor, the AKN, means it has to be something special.
The new Tournament AKNs are simply that. Offering an ultra slim, high performance blank shape that is a dream to handle each rod harnesses incredible power and torque resistance. The 12' 2.75lb model is only 12mm at the handle.

And blending the balance between a quick loading tip and a progressive action gives you the best of both worlds. Perfect for distance work but forgiving enough for use with braid.

The furnishings reflect their deluxe status with a precision, machine cut graphite Fuji reel seat, Fuji SiC guides and gun metal finished trim rings. To finish, each rod is individually numbered.

The feel of any Amorphous rod is simply unmistakable. That positive and precise backbone combined with a sweet and true action is thanks to the manufacturing phenomenon of 24 strand Amorphous braid. Yes it has returned and it's better than ever.
The external mesh of intertwined fibre on the Whisker carbon blank delivers a balance of ‘torque control’ and near immaculate ‘power progression’. What you get is one of the most responsive weapons you will ever lay hands on.

Added to that the unerring accuracy and depth of ‘guts’ lets you apply seriously high levels of compression and loading. Great for big hitters.

Two options have been designed at 12’ 2.75lb, featuring the choice of a 40mm Fuji butt guide or the brand new Fuji 50mm version. There is also a 13’ 3.5lb model available featuring the new Fuji 50mm butt guide.

FEATURES
• High grade Whisker carbon blanks
• 24 strand Amorphous braid
• Choice of 40mm or 50mm Fuji butt guides
• Single leg guides on top section
• Fuji DPS reel seat
• Matt finish
• Slim soft grip handle

The sleek and classy style of the new Tournament Linear carp rods echoes the modern look of today's carp scene.
The use of 1K carbon throughout combined with high grade carbons deliver a balance between power and slimness that is often difficult to achieve and all with a spigot joint. The Linear’s deliver it perfectly and have proven to produce long and accurate casting with admirable consistency.

Performance is further enhanced by the lightweight SiC guides the solidity of a Fuji reel fitting.

The design attitude of these rods can also be found in the ‘aerated’ gun metal trim rings and combined ‘matt’ textured NS shrink tube handle grip all finished off by a sunburst aluminium butt cap.

The progressive taper is maintained thanks to the seamless overcap joint and the balance enhanced by the use of lighter framed single leg SiC guides.

Each rod also features a Fuji reel seat and 1’ thread marker.

The sleek, matt look of the new Mission X carp rods will live up to expectations when you handle them. Their balance and responsiveness is impressive and their fish playing action fluent and sweet.
Four 12’ models from a ’lively’ 2.25lb through to a distance busting 3.0lb deliver all that the UK angler could ask for. The likely popular 2.75lb model offers a progressive loading top that blends seamlessly into a powerful but forgiving butt.

Complimenting the range is also a 4.0lb Spod rod that will easily handle filled spods and thanks to its slightly higher blank diameter it will perform accurately time after time.

All rods feature a Fuji reel seat and slim framed SiC guides with single leg patterns on the top section for
the perfect curve.

This trio of Black Widow carp rods offer power and distance with good fish playing properties.
The action allows for high casting power and surprising accuracy. However, when connected to a fish, each model will load further into the rod when required, offering a good cushion for hook holds and ‘under the tip’ lunges.

All three models feature subtle, low profile soft touch grips and a half hood FPS reel seat. And whether using braid or monofil the ultra low friction guides will handle either.

FEATURES
• Medium fast to progressive actions
• Low profile soft touch grips
• Half hood FPS reel seat
• Ultra low friction Aluminium Oxide guides

For optimum casting ability the distinct profile and balance of the Magnum Taper is unsurpassed. Utilising higher grade, low resin carbons within the top section simply enhances the balance and tip speed to another level. Their loading action compresses from the top into a higher diameter butt section that provides bags of cushion and power. When subjected to large casting loads this blank shape also presents excellent torque resistance enhancing the casting accuracy to a level that is respected by many of the UK's top carp anglers.
The Magnum Taper features a unique, contoured Daiwa reel seat that is matt finished.

Slim Powers are the epitome of rod beauty. Also exploiting the latest low-resin carbons within the top section these sleek rods betray gravity when partnered with a reel. Their power progressive curve loads seamlessly along the rod length but still delivers a crisp tip recovery whilst providing the level of forgiveness that is a must with braided mainlines. As required, furnishings are minimal but the best.
The Slim Power uses a Fuji DNPS faced off with metal trim rings. Each model is also armed with Fuji SiC guides and a low profile butt grip finished off with a sunburst etched metal butt cap.

MSG Carbon for lighter crisper blanks.
Stainless Steel butt cap and trim rings.

Infinity® Advanced Spod
Utilising the proven profile and blank backbone of a 'big' Infinity rod this Spod model is simply awesome. With all the tip loading you want to get a cast started the Infinity Spod compresses to extremely high levels but releases with incredible power, keeping the alignment of the blank throughout the action. What you get is a frightening level of casting energy that has already seen a loaded Spods reach 190yds at Carp fest 2005 and 2006. Furnished with SiC guides and finished to compliment the Infinity Advanced range we don't even think it needs a test curve.

Duplon butt grip.
