Daiwa 18 Beefstick Spinning Fishing Rod
Tradition meets contemporary looks and styling with the release of the new Daiwa Beefstick. With homage to the traditional solid tip fibreglass rods of the past, Daiwa gives the much-loved workhorse a makeover to deliver anglers a rod series that doesn't disappoint in performance, design or value.
Dressed in black and featuring striking blue highlights, this is a rod series that packs plenty of punch. Featuring a matt black finish, the Beefstick has a graphite/glass butt for unmatched strength and weight reduction.
A solid integrated tip provides ultimate sensitivity, yet delivers unmatched durability. Solid, yet sensitive guides provide ultimate connectivity between angler and fish, with their ultra tough construction handling the rigours of angling, while their sensitive design delivers anglers unmatched feel for a rod of its price.
Shaped, ultra-sensitive custom EVA grips blend perfectly with the Beefsteak's reel seats, providing anglers with the comfort and control to take full advantage of the rod's power and performance. A composite cork butt cap contrasts perfectly in looks with the matt black styling of the rod, for a modern touch of class, while its durable design makes it perfect for rough and tumble of rod holders and rough ground.
The Daiwa Beefstick rod range with its 26 models has something to accommodate most fishing styles, there are three very short rods in the beefstick fishing rod range, they are good for the kids of the wharf if it is deep water and good little rods for off the boat and for catching bait, the three models are the BEEFSTICK 461MLS SPIN the BEEFSTICK 561MS SPIN and the BEEFSTICK 561HS SPIN the heaviest of the three the 561HS is a 10kg rod that can also double as a light kingfish rod.
