Description

Named after the wings of the soaring flying fish, the Blackwing series of popping rods is developed for anglers looking to get the most distance, accuracy, and power to target all manner of surface feeding gamefish. This addictive style of fishing is one of the most exhilarating and demanding pursuits in the world of sportfishing. Dedicated anglers of this technique look for strength, distance, and durability. Blackwing delivers on all these demands- and more. Constructed with Daiwa's HVF Nanoplus graphite blank, these rods are light enough for all-day topwater sessions with a backbone to muscle brutes to into submission. The HVF Nanoplus graphite is wrapped using Daiwa's X45 bias construction which perfectly aligns the spine of the rod, greatly improving accuracy and reinforcing the rod for ultimate hook-setting power. Fuji Tangle-Free SiC guides provide effortless castability and the ability to quickly cast lures into the strike-zone without worry of line wrapping in the guides, even in strong winds. 5 unique rods make up this series with lengths ranging from 7-9- to 8-2 and powers from medium to extra heavy all backed by a 5-year limited warranty.
