Daiwa 25 Emeraldas MX Ikametal N65LB-GS W

The Daiwa 25 Emeraldas MX Ikametal N65LB-GS W is a dedicated boat squid jigging rod built on a proven regular taper “noru” (乗せ) action. This design promotes a stable, easy-to-entice presentation that allows squid to securely take the lure before the hook set. The N65LB-GS model incorporates a glass solid tip for exceptional visual sensitivity, making subtle bites clearly detectable even in challenging conditions. X45 blank construction minimizes twist while boosting responsiveness, and the V-JOINT ferrule delivers a seamless, one-piece-like bend. Lightweight HVF carbon balances power and reduced fatigue, while the slim-fit down-locking reel seat and orange-painted mega top enhance comfort and visibility.
