A flagship boat eging rod that seamlessly integrates all the necessary performance features for boat eging.
The ESS combines Daiwa technology and the accumulated know-how of testers; the AGS (R-frame C-ring, N-ring) boasts lightweight, high sensitivity, and high rigidity; the SMT (out-guide model) is a uniquely sensitive tip that is unmatched by others; the Hyperdry is an interline model that enables comfortable eging without line tangling; the V-Joint α achieves the feel of a one-piece rod despite being a center-cut 2-piece; SVF Nano Plus sharpens sensitivity and lightness; X45 Full Shield provides the power to go head-to-head with large squid; and the Air Sensor Seat Slim Fit is adopted for the reel seat (down-locking type).
Daiwa Technology

Sensory Domain Design System [ESS] (Expert Sense Simulation)
When a rod bends, it generates energy (restoring force) that tries to straighten it up in the opposite direction. This is "strain energy," the force that causes the deformed (strained) blank to return to its original shape, and it is an extremely important factor that affects the performance of the rod. DAIWA has independently developed a system to analyze and design "strain energy," which not only allows them to clearly understand "what is good" and "what is lacking" in numerical terms, but also makes it possible to reflect the angler's intuition in the design, bringing the rod closer to what anglers want.

AGS
The lightweight and highly sensitive AGS (Air Guide System) utilizes a carbon frame. Carbon, with approximately three times the rigidity of titanium, allows for high sensitivity, directly transmitting even the slightest signals through the line to the blank without absorption. Furthermore, the lightweight nature of carbon improves swing speed and reduces tip wobble, significantly enhancing casting distance and control.

SMT (SuperMetalTop)
SMT (Super Metal Top) is DAIWA's unique technology that uses a super-elastic titanium alloy material for the rod tip. Its vibration amplification capabilities, unique to metal, provide anglers with a level of sensitivity impossible with carbon materials. In addition to the strength and resistance to damage characteristic of highly elastic metal materials, it enables a delicate tip that bends flexibly even with slight movements, resulting in superior tactile sensitivity that transmits bites clearly to the angler's hand, as well as visual sensitivity to visible bites.

HYPER_DRY
By creating DAIWA's unique spiral structure of ridges inside the interline rod, the line passing through the interior is kept afloat, preventing sticking and enabling smooth line release. The shape of the ridges has continued to evolve, and the resulting sharp, protruding design has successfully minimized the contact surface with the line. The super water-repellent dry coating inside the rod is applied using a method that ensures even coverage, and measures have been taken to prevent water droplets from accumulating.

V-JOINTα
By employing high-strength nanoalloy material in the joint section and utilizing DAIWA's unique precision machining technology, the V-Joint α was born, evolving the V-JOINT into something even stronger, lighter, and with a smoother bend. For fishing that involves repeated casting, thinning the joint section allows for a slimmer overall blank, improving casting performance and handling.

SVF NANOPLUS
By combining ultra-high-density carbon SVF, which achieves lightness, power, and a slim profile, with Toray Industries' Nanoalloy Technology using DAIWA's unique manufacturing method, even greater strength and weight reduction are possible.

X45
To prevent twisting that occurs during actions such as casting, retrieving, hooking, and fighting, years of research have led to the conclusion that, in addition to the conventional structure (0° and 90° relative to the rod tip), wrapping a "45°" bias cross (carbon fibers, etc., angled at ±45°) is optimal for preventing twisting. By incorporating X45, twisting is prevented, resulting in a dramatic improvement in power, operability, and sensitivity.

AIR SENSOR SEAT
The carbon fiber-reinforced Air Sensor seat achieves lightweight design, high strength, and high sensitivity. It is specifically designed for each rod's intended use, providing a level of operability unmatched by general-purpose reel seats.
*The baitcasting model uses PULS.
Product Details

A lineup that caters to everything from catching lots of fish in the fall to targeting red monsters. The 511MLS is an all-around model suitable for shallow water and catching many fish. The 65MLMS is an all-around model that utilizes its length and power for eging. The 72MS is suitable for power fishing in deep water and against red monsters. The 64MB is a power fishing model that is unique in that it is trouble-free and boasts exceptional sensitivity. With a lineup of different styles, this rod can handle all types of boat eging.

The advantages of 'SMT' in boat eging
The "SMT" technology is featured in the out-guide models of this series. This Daiwa technology has revolutionized the tip—one of the most important parts in boat eging, including tip-run eging—and its sensitivity. The unique flexibility and steep taper of "SMT" not only provides visual sensitivity, but also significantly improves the feel of jigging and expands the range of jig weights that can be used. Furthermore, it contributes to tactile sensitivity, a performance that is often at odds with visual sensitivity, achieving an astonishing level of tactile sensitivity that will make you involuntarily cry out when you feel a squid bite.
Spinning model

Spinning model (tip)
[Out-guide model]
The tip is equipped with 'SMT', which achieves unparalleled sensitivity in boat eging rods, and the synergistic effect with the lightweight, high-rigidity, and trouble-free 'AGS' guide provides both a comfortable jigging feel and sharp jerks. The blank uses lightweight and highly sensitive SVF Nano Plus, and is supported by X45 Full Shield, achieving power that is unimaginable from its slender size. In addition, while adopting a convenient center-cut 2-piece design, the V-Joint α at the joint creates a bend curve that is almost like a 1-piece rod. This is truly the ultimate rod packed with the performance and technology necessary for modern boat eging.

| 511MLS-SMT |
The most striking feature of the highly sensitive and technical short-length model 511MLS-SMT is its unparalleled sensitivity. The sensitivity provided by the ultra-thin tip, made possible only by "SMT," is unmatched. In addition to the tactile sensitivity unique to "SMT," this item shines with the excellent visual sensitivity that comes with its short length. Furthermore, its ease of handling allows it to handle not only basic actions such as one-pitch jigging but also technical tricks. It supports comfortable fishing even in cramped small boats. While it excels at catching many squid in the early season, using medium to small jigs, and fishing in shallow areas, it also possesses the versatility of an ML class power rod. |
