The Daiwa Infinity X45 Carp Rod is built around X45 Bias Carbon Technology, which uses a 45-degree bias wrap to improve strength and reduce twist without adding weight. The blank also incorporates HVF (High Volume Fibre) construction for a denser, more responsive carbon lay-up, and a Magnum Taper Profile that gives the rod a powerful, progressive action suited to casting heavy leads and playing big fish. A V-Joint connects the sections cleanly for a smooth, consistent bend, while the hardware is finished with an ALPS ARD reel seat, SeaGuide TDG rings, and a Japanese shrink grip handle for secure, comfortable control. - X45 Bias Carbon Technology - HVF – High Volume Fibre - Magnum Taper Profile - V-Joint - ALPS ARD Reel Seat - SeaGuide TDG Rings - Japanese Shrink Grip Handle
