Daiwa Whisker Pike Rods

Daiwa Whisker Pike Deadbait Rods

Daiwa’s Whisker series has been designed with specialist fishing in mind and this rod has been specifically designed for deadbait pike fishing. The first thing you will notice about this rod is its stunning all black cosmetics. This perfectly complements both of the reels in the Whisker series, with offer stunning black and gold aesthetics - bringing a touch of class to the bank. This Whisker Pike rod has been constructed with Daiwa’s famous Magnum Taper blank design. This blank taper offers up a balanced rod action and it lends itself to the casting of heavier baits. The 3lb test curve on the rod supports the casting of heavier bait and dead baits too, whilst also ensuring that the rod isn’t so powerful as it rip any bait straight off the hook on a distance cast.

At 12ft you will be able to achieve the sorts of distances you require when you’re out fishing for pike. The Whisker Pike rod has been fitted with SiC guides. This is an incredibly durable guide type that will allow your heavily loaded line to fly through without disturbance. Spigot joints between the pieces of the rod ensure that your blank is as durable as your guides and it can withstand an impressive amount of strain. The butt grip on the rod has been completely constructed from EVA. This ensures that, even under the pulling power of an aggressive take, you never feel like the rod is about to slip from your grip. The all-black rods has a silk matt finish, offering the kind of low-glare stealth you need when pike fishing.

The largest Daiwa manufacturing facility outside of the Far East is based in Whishaw, Scotland. This means that many of the Daiwa rods you see on sale here at Angling Direct have actually been designed and manufactured right here in the UK for a UK audience.
