Daiwa Seahunter Z Uptide 9’6″ 2pc

The Daiwa Seahunter Z Uptide Rod $9\text{’}6\text{” }2\text{ pc}$ is a modern take on the classic uptide rod design, perfectly tailored for casting baits away from an anchored boat. This rod offers an ideal balance of a forgiving, sensitive tip for superior bite detection, combined with a powerful butt section needed to fight strong fish and retrieve heavy terminal tackle from the seabed.

Built with a durable Carbon Composite Blank, the rod features the popular Long Tip / Short Butt configuration. The flexible tip is designed to ‘sit’ correctly in the tide, minimizing drag and allowing you to spot the shyest of takes, even from species like Rays and Smoothhounds. The Hi-Vis Yellow Tip enhances visibility in low light conditions. With a versatile casting weight range of $4\text{–}10\text{ oz}$, this rod covers the majority of uptide fishing scenarios on the UK coastline and beyond.

Product Details and Uses

• Uptide Optimised Design: The $9\text{’}6\text{“}$ length and tip-action profile are specifically engineered for casting heavy leads and baits away from the boat, ensuring your rig settles away from the boat’s disturbance zone.
• Supreme Bite Detection: The classic tip action blank ensures the rod tip bends nicely with the tide movement, while the Hi-Viz Yellow Tip provides an unmissable visual cue when a fish takes the bait.
• Casting and Fighting Power: The progressive action transitions smoothly from the sensitive tip to a powerful mid and butt section, giving you the necessary power for casting heavy weights and for controlling hard-fighting fish in strong currents.
• Saltwater Hardware: Equipped with corrosion-resistant Stainless Framed Guides with Aluminium Oxide Rings (LS Rings), the rod is fully compatible with both braided and monofilament main lines.
• Comfort and Security: Features a DPS Style Screw Winch Reel Seat for securely mounting a multiplier or large fixed spool reel, and a Full EVA Handle with a soft grip gimbal for comfortable and secure handling during long sessions.
