Daiwa Connoisseur Pro Match Rod

Description

The Daiwa Connoisseur Pro Match Rod is a 15ft Power three-piece float rod built for anglers who need extra muscle from a long float rod. The Daiwa Connoisseur name is well established among UK coarse and match anglers, and this stepped-up Power version is aimed at large, demanding venues — big river chub, powerful carp on pellet waggler setups, or heavy floats punched into a strong wind on vast reservoirs. The added length and higher power rating over standard waggler models give a combination of distance, line control and fighting authority. The 15ft length is central to long-range float fishing across wide rivers and expansive stillwaters. It allows you to mend line effectively, keep line off the surface to eliminate drag from wind or tow, and achieve instant hook-sets at distance. - Commercial carp: a pellet waggler rod for large commercial carp fisheries. The Power action handles loaded wagglers up to 20g, while the robust blank provides the backbone to tame double-figure carp quickly and keep them away from snags and aerators. - River specialist: suited to large specimens such as barbel and big chub on powerful UK rivers including the Trent, Severn or Wye. It controls heavy stick floats, bobbers or large block-end feeders (where float fishing is permitted) in fast-flowing water, with better line control than shorter rods. - Long-range natural water fishing: for big wagglers, sliders or bolo floats on large, deep natural venues such as reservoirs and big gravel pits, where strong winds and distance demand a high-power, high-modulus blank to maintain accuracy and control. The rod is built using Daiwa's carbon technologies to balance lightweight handling with formidable power. - HVF Nanoplus Carbon: High Volume Fibre carbon combined with Nanoplus resin technology produces a blank that is lighter, stronger and more sensitive than standard carbon, for comfortable, fatigue-free use over long sessions. - X45 Bias Carbon Technology: blank construction that eliminates twist (torque) on the cast and during the fight, for maximum casting accuracy, crisper power delivery and stability when fighting hard-running fish. - V-Joint Alpha: the spigot joint is designed to compress and flex with the blank under load, creating a seamless, one-piece curve for a smooth action that protects lighter hooklengths while still delivering lifting power. - Model Code: CNPM15P-BU - Length: 15' 0" (Feet) - Sections: 3 - Casting Weight (C/WT): 5 - 20g (Grams) - Recommended Reel Line: 2 - 8 lb (Pound) - Rod Weight (Approx.): 221g (Grams) - Blank Material: HVF Nanoplus, X45 Carbon - Joint Type: V-Joint Alpha - Action: Fast, High Power Match Action - Reel Seat: Ergonomic Air Sensor Reel Seat - Guides: Stainless Steel LS Ceramic Guides (SG LS Zirconia) - Handle: EVA Armlock Handle with Embossed Logo - Fittings: Folding Hook Keeper
