Daiwa N’Zon 2.0 13′ Distance Feeder 3pc

Daiwa N’Zon 2.0 13′ Distance Feeder 3pc Rod

Product Code: NZF1303Q-AX or 11141-390 (Casting Weight $\le 120\text{g}$)

Note: The N’Zon 2.0 range often features a Distance Feeder model with a 120g casting weight, distinct from the Power Feeder (up to 150g). This description focuses on the 13′ 120g Distance model, a heavy-duty option for extreme range fishing.

Product Overview

The Daiwa N’Zon 2.0 13′ Distance Feeder 3pc is a purpose-built rod for the dedicated angler needing to reach maximum range on large lakes, reservoirs, or rivers with medium to strong currents. This rod is positioned perfectly to deliver heavy feeders with precision over long distances, offering a superior combination of casting power and line control.

The blank is engineered using HMC+® High Modulus Plus carbon fibre (or the more advanced HVF Nanoplus on some Distance Special variants), resulting in a powerful and quick-recovering blank. The 13-foot length is crucial for generating high tip speed, necessary for long casts, and for maintaining an effective line angle to keep line off the water over rough terrain or a strong tow. Its medium-fast action has a powerful backbone, allowing for aggressive casting while remaining sensitive enough to detect bites at extreme ranges. The 3-piece design ensures convenient transport despite its impressive length.

Key Features and Uses

• Long-Range Power: Developed specifically for fishing at extreme distances, comfortably handling feeders up to its recommended casting weight of $120\text{g}$.
• HMC+® Blank Technology: Utilises high-quality carbon materials to create a slim, powerful, and quick-recovering blank that supports highly accurate long-range casting.
• Medium-Fast Action: Features a robust, progressive action with a strong butt section that loads effectively for the cast, coupled with a responsive tip section for good bite registration.
• Superior Line Management: The longer $13\text{’}$ length improves line lift, which is vital for reducing drag in currents and achieving better hook-sets at distance.
• Anti-Tangle Guides: Fitted with durable Anti Tangle Stainless Steel Titanium Oxide guides (often in a larger diameter on distance models), designed to maximize casting efficiency and minimize knotting when using braided mainlines.
• Ergonomic Armlock Handle: The high-quality Cork/EVA handle features the Armlock section, providing a stable, comfortable grip during the powerful casting motion and when fighting large fish.
• Feeder Versatility: Supplied with multiple carbon quiver tips to adapt the rod’s sensitivity to varying conditions, from calm, distant stillwaters to strong river flows.

Detailed Specifications

Applications and Performance

The N’Zon 2.0 13′ Distance Feeder is the go-to rod for the angler whose primary goal is distance. The extra length, combined with the powerful blank, makes it easy to compress and unleash maximum casting energy. It excels when fishing:

• Large Stillwaters: Ideal for getting a heavy feeder rig beyond the common casting range to reach features that hold large stocks of fish.
• Medium to Strong Rivers: The powerful action and $13\text{’}$ length help hold the line out of the water, preventing the current from dragging the feeder out of position.
• Heavy Feeder Fishing: Perfectly suited for casting large, heavy cages or block-end feeders loaded with bait.
