The designers brief was simple: create a fly rod range that would both cast further & more accurately. Not much to ask! With all rods torque control & power conversion are the keys to distance & accuracy. The New Era SLR’s have been designed around a foundation of Bias Carbon technology. The two directions of the high grade carbon sheet have each been manipulated into 45° effectively transmitting the energy & compression evenly around the blank but resisting twist during loading. This application of our own Bias material effectively ‘doubles’ the control level of blank twist & buckling. Combined with a responsive & crisp recovery in the front end each New Era delivers notably more precise line control, directional change & enhanced energy conversion: accuracy & distance all in one. The V-Joint system also offers a hidden benefit. The innovative over-cap system allows the rod to internally maintain a Constant Taper Profile. Unlike normal over cap joints the New Era does not increase in diameter at each female joint & then reduce quickly. It is shaped even & constant. This results in a purer power transfer. Each rod was subjected to exhaustive testing & fine tuning by Hywel Morgan ensuring that each one not only delivers the intended line rating but has the ability to comfortably handle a rating range either side of that indicated. Titanium Si C guides combined with single leg snakes ensure slick line travel & to round the challenge off we achieved all this in a 4 section assembly.

Super rugged in their construction the new Opus collection are designed as the all serving tools of the Daiwa reel range. Their wide spool shape & large winding gear deliver enormous levels of power enhance further by their geared down ratio. A large surface, micro adjustable drag, can be locked down on the larger models for powerful casting methods. Other refinements such as Twistbuster & Infinite anti reverse simply add to their incredible value for your money. ...

It is the remarkable lightness of the new Proteus boat rods that will hit you first. Their innovative blank construction is all the more surprising when you see that they are two equal section rods. Following the successful Kenzaki rods the new Proteus range offer a fluent tippy curve & are perfect for use with braid, especially the 6 to 12lb special. A 4 to 10 ounce rated uptider fi nishes off the line up. Their lowered reel seat position makes cranking much easier as does the extended fore grip.

With fantastic looks & continuing the tried & tested combination of front drag with the smoothness our XBR Free Spool system the new Regal BR's are a ' Best Seller' in the making. Designed to cover every style of predator & specimen fishing it is the biggest 5000 size which will handle the line capacity needed for big distances. The smaller 3500 is highly versatile in terms of size but gives nothing up on the power front, maintaining the quality of fish control that you should expect from a Daiwa front drag. With a machined engine plate, Air Bail & a Ti N plated line roller they designed to be tough & durable making them an excellent investment.

The Saltist BG is built on the original legendary Saltistframe & structure but with a few useful extras. Delivering increased durability the ‘BG’ features an all new anodized finish to improve corrosion resistance from the harsh saltwater environment. The presence of centrifugal brakes makes them ideal for rough ground work & uptiding too. The ultra smooth drag from our UTD – Ultimate Tournament Drag system will add to the enjoyment of every catch & could be the difference in landing the fish of a lifetime.

The combination of rigid drive train support & precisely designed gear ratios give these reels a serious advantage in both torque & speed. They not only pull in over a yard of line with every handle turn, winding power is up to 30% greater than similar reels. Four ball bearings & a roller bearing add efficiency to the drive train support, with Daiwa's special CRBB Corrosion Resistant Ball Bearings supporting the spool. However the Saltist reels are not reserved for downtiding alone. Fitted with centrifugal brakes each reel is ideal for uptiding & powerful shore work. ...
