Beyond "Sensitivity"
The 26STEEZ is a competition rod equipped with cutting-edge technology that enables visualization of what's happening underwater.
After 15 years, the 21STEEZ has been completely redesigned and reborn with the latest technology.
The development concept is "clairvoyance."
Sensitivity is the eternal theme of fishing rods.
Live shooting using FFS (Forward Facing Sonar), which enables visualization of what's happening underwater, has been attracting attention in the bass fishing scene in recent years.
The goal of the 26STEEZ is to maximize the sensitivity of the rod, not only when fishing from a boat but also when fishing from the shore, even without FFS, so that
you can feel the lure underwater that was previously invisible, manipulate it as you want, and get a bite—making it possible to do things that were previously impossible and making bass fishing more enjoyable.
In addition, all items have a detachable handle for ease of use and are made in Japan with reliable quality.

Daiwa Technology
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.
CWS (Carbon Wrapping System)
Daiwa's unique technology for securing guides and reel seats to the blank.
Instead of thread, it uses tightly woven carbon cloth to fix the parts, resulting in a lighter mounting area. Furthermore, this CWS (Carbon Wire System) improves holding power (torsional rigidity of the guide mounting area) and durability (crack resistance). The distinctive appearance of the carbon cloth gives it a strong presence.

SVF COMPILE-X NanoPlus
This ultra-muscular blank is constructed with significantly reduced resin and correspondingly densely packed graphite fibers. Its high hardness and stiffness translate to superior information transmission capabilities, resulting in a sensitivity so keen you can feel what's underwater. Furthermore, the reduced amount of resin means increased lightness and power; a rod with the same power can be made much lighter, and a rod with the same power and lightness can be made much thinner. This blank is indispensable for fishing that requires instantaneous reaction to bites, and you can feel its keen sensitivity and powerful butt section. Its slender design makes it easy to cast, allowing for accurate casts that hit your target spot without missing, and its lightness allows you to fish all day long. This high-performance blank has been further enhanced with NanoPlus technology.
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 have been achieved.
SVF GLASS
By reducing the amount of resin to the same level as SVF carbon, a larger number of glass fibers are densely packed in, resulting in ultra-high-density glass that achieves lightness, toughness, and flexibility.
GLATECH CONSTRUCTION
The Gratec Construction is designed to achieve a lightweight feel while retaining the flexibility and resilience characteristic of glass by wrapping carbon sheets around the tip of the rod in the circumferential direction and UD glass sheets aligned in a single direction along the longitudinal direction.
X45 Full Shield
The X45 Full Shield structure effectively tightens the twisting force that occurs during casting, action, hooking, and fighting by applying a 45° carbon bias cloth from the tip of the blank, where twisting is most likely to occur, starting from the outermost layer. This dramatically improves torsional rigidity, enabling greater casting accuracy and allowing the rod to perform at its full potential.
3DX
3DX is a support structure that excels in restorative force. A honeycomb structure, which is excellent in stability and restorative force, is used on the outer circumference of the rod to restore its shape. Each time the rod bends, a load is applied, and the cross-section of the rod deforms into a slightly flattened shape. The stronger the force that returns it to a perfect circle from this position, the higher the restorative force, which helps to reduce tip wobble and improve casting stability and distance.
MEGA TOP
Megatop is a carbon solid in which fibers and resin are uniformly dispersed, exhibiting consistent bending in all directions. As a result, its strength is dramatically improved compared to ordinary carbon solids. This makes it possible to create a thin, flexible, and highly tapered tip, resulting in a tip that not only provides sensitivity that resonates in the hand but also offers superior visual sensitivity that allows you to detect bites.
MEGA TOP R
This high-modulus carbon solid tip combines Toray Industries' Torayca T1100G with Daiwa's unique manufacturing technology, utilizing the "Megatop" carbon solid in which fibers and resin are uniformly dispersed. Through continuous development down to the resin level, it achieves a significant improvement in sensitivity and highly responsive handling.

<Bait Finesse> C64L-SV･ST･BF Hermit Power Tune - A nationwide bait finesse rod |
While previous Hermit models excelled at the mid-strolling action of the Neko Rig, the Hermit Power Tune features a completely redesigned taper, combining a distinctly varying taper with a strong belly and butt section, resulting in a nationwide bait finesse rod that prioritizes bottom feel and delicate manipulation. By adopting a high-modulus Mega Top with a "V-shaped taper" tip, it achieves both bottom touch sensitivity and the ability to shake lightweight rigs without pulling them too far towards the angler, allowing them to lean against cover and structure. Even with structures of varying heights, the belly works to avoid snags, enabling delicate manipulation. The adoption of "AGS" and "CWS," combined with SVF Compile X and "Torayca® M46X," dramatically improves sensitivity and responsiveness. By elevating rig handling feel and hooking performance, it has become a bait finesse rod of a different dimension, with unprecedented sharp casting and long-distance casting performance. Application: Neko Rig / Down Shot Rig / No Sinker Rig / Small Rubber Jig / Free Rig TECHNOLOGY: SVF COMPILE-X Nano Plus / AGS / CWS / X45 Full Shield / MEGATOP / ZERO_SEAT |
