Daiwa Connoisseur Pro Match 13′ 3pc

The 13ft 3-piece Waggler rod is widely regarded as the ‘go-to’ rod in the flagship Daiwa Connoisseur Pro Match range, offering the perfect blend of casting range, precise control, and fish-playing power for the vast majority of UK coarse and match venues. It builds on the Connoisseur pedigree to deliver a lightweight, powerful, and impeccably balanced float fishing experience.

Product Details and Uses for UK Fishing

The 13ft model is engineered to be the ultimate all-rounder float rod, delivering a versatile performance that excels across all styles of UK float fishing, from commercial lakes to challenging natural rivers.

• Versatile Waggler Work: This rod’s length is optimal for medium-to-long range waggler fishing on stillwaters, reservoirs, and commercial lakes. It provides the reach needed to cover distance and the line-lifting capability to mend line effectively, ensuring excellent float control in breezy conditions or across tow.
• Traditional River Fishing: The 13ft length is perfect for traditional stick float, chubber, and Avon float fishing on medium-sized UK rivers (such as the Trent, Wye, or Severn). The responsive tip and through-action handle waggler and top-and-bottom set-ups with ease, allowing for delicate presentation and precise shotting patterns.
• Balance of Power and Finesse: While exquisitely balanced and sensitive enough to handle small silverfish like roach and skimmers on light hooklengths, the powerful lower sections (enhanced by X45 technology) give you the necessary leverage to tame larger, unexpected bonus fish, including double-figure carp and specimen chub.
• 3-Piece Design: The 3-piece configuration offers an ideal compromise between transport length and a seamless, progressive action across the rod’s length, maintaining the perfect fighting curve under load.

Flagship Technology & Premium Build

The Connoisseur Pro Match rod incorporates Daiwa’s most advanced carbon technologies to achieve its celebrated light weight and casting accuracy.

• HVF Nanoplus (High Volume Fibre): Utilising premium carbon fibre, this technology creates a lighter, slimmer blank that recovers quickly after the cast, increasing tip speed and casting distance without sacrificing power.
• X45 Bias Carbon Technology: This revolutionary carbon layering process prevents the blank from twisting or torquing under pressure. The result is unparalleled directional stability during the cast, guaranteeing your float lands precisely where you aimed.
• V-Joint Alpha: The spigot joints are enhanced with V-Joint Alpha, ensuring a seamless, smooth power transition between the sections. The joint behaves like a continuous one-piece rod, preserving the flawless action.
• Premium Fittings: Equipped with an ergonomic Air Sensor Reel Seat for maximum comfort and feel, and lightweight Stainless Steel LS Ceramic Guides (some models feature SG LS Zirconia) designed to minimise line friction and enhance casting range.
