Daiwa's popular Light and Tough rods' unique design and construction makes them effortless to cast, with sensitivity to feel the lightest strikes. Yet they're plenty tough to handle heavy fish in heavy cover, thanks to powerful IM6 graphite blanks reinforced with Daiwa's Power Mesh graphite outer weave. Reel seats leave the blank exposed to the touch, for direct feel of the lightest nibbles.

• Blank: High modulus IM6 graphite with Power Mesh® reinforcement
• Reel Seat: Custom reel seats with blank exposed to the touch
• Handle: Ergonomic design fits hand contour for more comfort and less fatigue
• Natural cork grip
• Guides: Fuji® polished aluminum oxide guides
