Daiwa is pleased to announce a partnership with Winn Corporation in creating a new beautifully appointed series of saltwater rods, the Proteus. The Daiwa exclusive new Winn Grip Wrap is both attractive and functional providing a sure grip that is firm and rugged. The HVF Carbon Technology constructed blank is lighter and stronger than conventional materials, well suited for the demands of active, coastal fishing. X45 Carbon Bias Technology resists twisting and distortion as the blank loads up, maintaining a bend accuracy whether casting or pulling on a fish. Fuji FazLite Tangle-Free K-Guides cast long and straight and refuse to hang-up while leaving a small footprint on the blank.
- Braiding X is a low resin, high strength, reduced weight, high density carbon weave
- Creates a blank that has maximum density yet is light, sensitive and highly responsive
- Fuji Guides with Fazlite Ring
- Winn Grips provide superior control and comfort
- X45 eliminates blank twist
