Product Details and Uses

The Daiwa Air Tech 16m Pole Package stands as the absolute pinnacle of match fishing engineering. As the most advanced and uncompromising flagship pole Daiwa has ever produced in their UK facility, it is designed exclusively for the elite-level angler who accepts no compromises. When fishing at the full 16-meter length, instant responsiveness, flawless balance, and immense structural endurance are not just requested—they are required.
To achieve a previously unimaginable level of stiffness and handling at 16 meters, Daiwa’s engineering team completely tore up the rulebook. They redesigned an astonishing 98 distinct patterns of material, seamlessly layering 20 different elite-grade Japanese pre-impregnated carbons. By meticulously zoning different carbon modulus ratings along the exact stress points of the blank, they have created a pole that reacts with lightning speed to the smallest wrist movement, yet possesses the raw, unyielding power required to haul double-digit carp away from commercial snags.

Advanced Carbon Architecture & Technologies

  • Hyper MSG & Nanoplus Technology: The core of the Air Tech is built on Daiwa’s Hyper Multi-Strand Graphite (MSG). This ultra-low-resin, high-density carbon is bonded at a molecular level using Nanoplus resin technology. This ensures perfect fiber alignment, drastically increasing hoop strength and impact resistance without adding a single fraction of an ounce in unnecessary weight.
  • Bias Carbon V-JOINTa: Traditional pole joints can oval or create “flat spots” under extreme tension. V-JOINTa utilizes a 45-degree bias-cut carbon wrap at every connection. This allows the pole to flex in a perfect, continuous curve when playing large fish, eliminating weak points and vastly extending the lifespan of the carbon joints.
  • The “Super 6” Innovation: To elevate the Air Tech’s rigidity beyond anything previously seen on the market, Daiwa engineered the Super 6. This specialized, abbreviated No.6 section radically alters the pole’s center of gravity and eliminates mid-pole sag. When deployed, it provides a transformative, previously unseen level of ultra-stiff response.
  • Diamond Satin & ITS Finishes: Shipping a 16m pole requires zero friction. The lower butt sections (9, 10, and 11) feature Daiwa’s Diamond Satin micro-texture, which repels water and prevents sticking on sweaty hands. Sections 5, 6, and 7 utilize the Integrated Taping System (ITS) to glide flawlessly over pole rollers.

The Ultimate Spares Package

This package leaves absolutely nothing out, equipping you with a complete, ready-to-fish armory right out of the bespoke holdall. Every kit features UK-made PTFE bushes and PTFE nose cones on the No.3 sections. The Power, Commercial, and F1 kits come factory-fitted with Daiwa’s premium Dual Roller side puller for frictionless elastic travel, while the Match kits are reinforced and supplied with three spare rollers so you can customize them to your exact specifications.

Where to Use
  • Elite Match & Festival Circuits: The ultimate weapon for high-stakes competition where ounces separate the winners. Its instantaneous strike conversion at 16m ensures you never miss a shy bite.
  • High-Speed F1 Shallow Racing: Utilize the included 1-piece F1 kits to slap rigs and mug cruising F1s. The pole’s Nanoplus rigidity ensures absolutely zero tip bounce, keeping your rig perfectly presented.
  • Heavy Commercial Hauling: Swap in the Pro Power kits and lock into large summer carp. The Hyper MSG carbon delivers the brutal pulling power required to steer fish away from aerators, islands, and margin ropes.
  • Deep Natural Venues & Canals: The two extra No.4 sections allow you to comfortably fish deep-water drop-lines without sacrificing your kit setups, while the impeccable balance makes 16m canal shipping feel effortless.
Pro Tip
The Ultimate 16m Crosswind Setup: When facing a brutal crosswind at full 16m reach, standard poles become unmanageable. To counteract this, replace the standard No.6 section with the included abbreviated Super 6, and attach the Super Light PHEX911 to the butt of the pole. The PHEX restores the length you lose from the short 6th section, but the resulting combination completely locks up the mid-section of the pole. This setup cuts through heavy winds like a knife, giving you pinpoint presentation and strike accuracy in conditions where other anglers are forced to fish short.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the Air Tech the most expensive pole on the market?
The cost reflects the deployment of aerospace-grade Japanese carbons, the sheer complexity of weaving 98 unique material patterns, and the massive inclusion of 14 elite top kits and spare sections. It is a long-term investment in unparalleled, uncompromised UK-made engineering that out-stiffens and outlasts mass-produced alternatives.
What exactly does the Super 6 section do?
Because the No.6 section on a 16m pole sits at the critical pivot point where gravity causes the most sag, replacing it with the shorter, ultra-stiff Super 6 removes the “belly” from the pole. This results in a radically faster, stiffer, and lighter-feeling setup when striking at full length.
Are the top kits ready to elasticate immediately?
Yes. Every single top kit comes factory-cut and fitted with high-grade UK PTFE bushes, and the No.3 sections are pre-fitted with protective PTFE nose cones. Simply thread your elastic, attach your puller beads, and you are ready to fish.
