Daiwa Seahunter Z Beachcaster Rod

Description

The Daiwa Seahunter Z Beachcaster Rod is part of Daiwa's long-standing Seahunter range, a series known for offering quality tackle at an accessible price point. This beachcaster is built with UK shore fishing in mind, where anglers encounter conditions ranging from calm estuaries to powerful surf beaches. The rod's blank is constructed from a premium-grade, high-carbon material, providing a balance of strength and flexibility that delivers a progressive power action. This means the rod loads smoothly during the cast, helping to launch baits and weights a considerable distance, while the forgiving action helps absorb the lunges of a hooked fish. The power progressive action gives the angler a sense of control and allows for a smooth, powerful cast without requiring an overly technical casting style. For UK anglers, the rod's ability to handle various types of ground is a key feature. The stiffer butt section provides the power needed to bully fish away from snags and to dislodge leads stuck in rougher ground, while the sensitive tip offers excellent bite detection, even from shy-biting species. This suits fishing anywhere from rough ground where you might target a powerful cod or bass, to a clean sandy beach where smaller flatfish are the quarry. The high-viz tip further enhances bite detection, making it easier to spot bites in low light or at distance. The rod is fitted with stainless steel frame guides with aluminium oxide rings. These guides are durable, corrosion-resistant and provide low friction for smooth line flow, which is crucial for maximising casting distance. The shrink grip handle provides a firm and comfortable hold, even in cold and wet conditions common to UK sea angling. One of the standout features is the DPS (Duplon Power Screw) slide locking reel seat. This allows the angler to position the reel exactly where they want it on the rod, helping to achieve balance and comfort for their individual casting style. This adjustability accommodates both multiplier and fixed spool reels and allows for a customised feel. - Premium Grade Blank - Power Progressive Actions - Parallel Handle design - DPS Slide Locking Reel Seat - Shrink Grip Handle - Stainless Frame Guides with Aluminium Oxide Rings - 4-7oz casting Available in two versions: - 13ft 6" – 2 piece – casts 4-7oz - 14ft – 3 piece – casts 4-7oz
