About this piece
The Daiwa Emeraldas Stoist ST 88ML-SMT is a flagship eging rod built around a finesse-oriented Stream Tune concept. Its delicate tip, achieved through SMT, Megatop, and ultra-fine tubular construction, delivers a new level of sensitivity and control for squid jigging. The SVF Nanoplus blank with X45 reinforcement provides a supple yet torsionally rigid structure for smooth casting and refined jerking action.
