Daiwa Tournament SLR Feeder Rod – 13ft 180g Power Special (3pc)
Product Description
The Daiwa Tournament SLR (Super Long Range) Feeder Rod series represents the ultimate evolution in high-performance feeder fishing, and the 13ft 180g Power Special is the undisputed heavy-duty flagship of the range, specifically engineered for extreme distance and big-fish control in UK angling scenarios.
This model is the answer for anglers demanding maximum casting power and precision to hit far-bank features, central islands, or distant spots on large stillwaters, reservoirs, and powerful rivers. This rod has been explicitly “designed down” from the previous 14ft edition to deliver equivalent power in a slightly more manageable 13ft package, a testament to its exceptional blank technology.
Key UK Fishing Applications:
- Extreme Distance Carp & Bream Fishing: Ideal for launching large, heavy feeders (up to 180g) with bait into the horizon on expansive commercial fisheries, gravel pits, and large natural lakes to target big carp, tench, and specimen bream.
- Powerful River Feeder Fishing: Perfectly suited for holding large, heavy-gripped feeders in place in strong currents on major rivers like the Trent, Severn, or Thames, ensuring presentation remains stable for barbel and powerful chub.
- European/Continental Competition Fishing: A world-class rod for anglers participating in international or long-distance UK match fishing, where hitting a huge, consistent distance is non-negotiable for success.
Advanced Technology & Features
- X45X Full Shield Carbon Technology: The next generation of Bias Carbon Technology. This innovative 45-degree bi-directional fibre composition is applied further into the blank structure, radically increasing torsional resistance. The result is a blank that virtually eliminates twist on the cast, ensuring maximum energy conversion and truly remarkable casting accuracy and distance.
- HVF nanoplus (High Volume Fibre with Nano Technology): This construction uses a high-density carbon fibre with nano-sized resin particles. The benefit is an incredibly strong, lightweight blank with superior torque resistance, sharpening the rod’s recovery speed to deliver your payload further and more precisely.
- V-Joint (Alpha): Enhances the rod’s joint flexibility, providing a smooth, consistent curve and seamless action throughout the blank when playing a fish, despite its immense power reserve.
- Guides: Fitted with high-end, ultra-lightweight American Tackle Ti Air Forged Anti-Tangle Guides (or SeaGuide TDG Guides depending on the production year). These weight-saving guides not only reduce overall mass but also sharpen rod recovery, adding crucial meters to your cast by reducing line drag and rod oscillation.
- Reel Seat: High-quality Fuji VSS Reel Seat for a secure, ergonomic, and comfortable connection with your big-pit or distance feeder reel.
- Handle: Features a premium Cork/Duplon combination, including the famous Armlock Handle for added casting stability and a newly designed Three-Sided Handlock Butt Grip to enhance your hold for maximum compression on the cast.
- Quivers: Supplied with three improved SLR Quiver Tips featuring an extra guide nearer the tip for enhanced bite registration.
