Daiwa D Wave Boat Fishing Rod - 7ft / 20-30lb Class / 2pc

This rod is ideal for targeting strong, deep-dwelling fish such as cod, pollack, ling, and conger, due to its 20-30lb class rating and robust construction.

The rod is designed and recommended for use with multiplier reels. While a spinning reel might physically fit, the balance and casting ergonomics may not be optimal.

The product description does not specify a casting weight. However, its 20-30lb class rating suggests it is intended for heavier baits and lures commonly used in boat fishing.

The carbon fibre blank requires minimal specific maintenance beyond regular cleaning after use. Ensure it is rinsed with fresh water after saltwater exposure and stored properly to avoid scratches or impacts.

While the rod has power, its length and design are optimized for boat fishing. It is less practical for most shore fishing scenarios where longer casting distances and different retrieve techniques are often needed.

'2pc' means the rod is made of two separate sections that connect together, making it easier to transport and store compared to a one-piece rod.

After saltwater use, rinse the Fuji guides thoroughly with fresh water. Check periodically for any signs of wear or damage to the guide inserts and frames. Ensure line runs smoothly through them.

Ensure the spigot joints are clean and free of debris. A gentle twist while pushing can help. Avoid excessive force. If stiff, a very light application of reel grease on the male end of the joint might help, but clean thoroughly.

Check that the Fuji guides are not damaged (cracked inserts or bent frames). Ensure the line is running smoothly through the guides and that the reel is spooled correctly.

Verify your line is taut and there is no slack. Ensure the carbon fibre blank is functioning correctly by checking for any visible damage. The sensitivity is inherent to the blank's construction.

Ensure the reel collar is fully tightened onto the reel foot. Check the reel seat components for any wear or damage. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
