Daiwa Connoisseur Pro Match 14’P 3pc

The ultimate power match weapon for tackling big UK venues, strong currents, and specimen fish.

The Daiwa Connoisseur name is revered in UK match fishing circles, synonymous with the highest quality float rods. The 14′ Power Float (14’P) 3pc edition is the specialist version of this flagship range, engineered for anglers who require maximum casting power, line control, and fish-taming authority when fishing big rivers and demanding commercial fisheries.

This rod is designed for environments where standard float rods fall short, giving you the confidence to fish heavier floats and target larger specimen fish with precision.

Product Details and UK Fishing Uses

The 14′ Power Float is specifically built to excel in challenging coarse fishing scenarios across the UK:

• Long-Range Casting: The stiffer, powerful action is perfect for launching heavy wagglers, slider floats, or large pellet wagglers up to 20g to extreme distances on vast natural waters like reservoirs, deep gravel pits, or large, open commercial lakes. The 14ft length provides superior leverage and tip speed to punch floats through strong winds.
• Big Commercial Carp: It provides the necessary backbone and higher loading point to quickly gain control over large, hard-fighting commercial carp and tench, preventing them from kiting into snags or taking too much line on the strike. It can handle powerful fights on relatively heavy mainlines.
• River Specialist: This rod is a superb choice for demanding river fishing, giving the angler excellent command over the line when running large stick floats, chubber floats, or bolo floats on powerful rivers such as the Trent, Severn, or Wye, especially when targeting big barbel or chub in heavy flow.
• Optimum Control: The extra length dramatically improves line management, allowing you to easily mend the line on the water and keep it off the surface drift, ensuring a perfect presentation at range.

Premium Construction & Technology

The 14′ Power Float rod is built upon Daiwa’s cutting-edge carbon technology to achieve its strength and light weight:

• HVF Nanoplus (High Volume Fibre): Utilising a high-strength, low-resin carbon construction, the blank is both immensely strong and surprisingly light, ensuring effortless handling throughout a long fishing session.
• X45 Bias Carbon Technology: This technical layering process eliminates blank twist (torque) during the cast, resulting in maximum energy transfer and exceptional casting accuracy—a critical feature for hitting distant spots repeatedly.
• V-Joint Alpha: The spigot joints utilise this advanced system, ensuring a smooth, reliable curve under pressure and a near-seamless power transfer across the three sections.
• Ergonomic Air Sensor Reel Seat: Provides a secure and comfortable base for your reel, enhancing the transmission of subtle bite indications directly to your hand.
• Quality Guides: Fitted with durable Stainless Steel LS Ceramic Guides (sometimes specified as SG LS Zirconia) throughout, designed for smooth line flow and durability with both monofilament and braided lines.
• EVA Armlock Handle: The ergonomically shaped cork and EVA handle ensures a comfortable, secure grip, particularly when fighting big fish.
• Folding Hook Keeper: A practical addition for securing hooks when moving between swims.
