Daiwa Tatula XT Spinning Rods have been completely redesigned and upgraded! These rods feature lightweight yet strong HVF (High Volume Fiber) graphite blank technology plus X45 Bias and Braiding-X blank construction. This means less rod twist for longer casts, more sensitivity, and better hook-setting ability. EVA-style split grips and Daiwa's exclusive carbon nut reel seat have been incorporated for improved comfort and sensitivity. The Fuji Aluminum Oxide guides are diamond polished to an ultra-smooth finish for longer, smoother casting. Daiwa Tatula XT Spinning Rods bring new meaning to what an affordable high performance, feature-loaded rod should be!
