Daiwa Purelist AK 126H-3

The Daiwa Purelist AK 126H-3 is a dedicated salmon rod engineered for chum and pink salmon fishing with float and lure rigs. Its unique taper allows easy casting of heavy rigs while providing a sensitive tip for detecting subtle bites and a fighting butt section to control hard-running fish without pulling hooks. Advanced carbon technologies ensure lightweight strength and torsional rigidity.
