Designed with input from leading Southeastern local guides and tackle experts, the Daiwa TD SOL Inshore Casting Rods are well built to suit the backwater specialist. Designed for common Florida and Gulf Coast techniques used to target species like snook, tarpon, redish, and speckled trout, the TD SOL is certainly not limited to just Southeastern fisheries. Inshore anglers of the Northeast will find models ideal for anything from back bay flounder jigging to slinging plugs and metals for striped bass and blues. Built on blanks constructed from Daiwa's High Volume Fiber (HVF) carbon technology, the TD SOL achieves the superior strength and ideal taper for inshore applications while keeping the blank thin and lightweight for comfortable fishing. Also outfitted with Daiwa's X45 Technology, these rods are designed using a 45 degree bias construction that prevents ovalization and twisting of the blank for greater hoop strength under heavy loads. The rods are fitted with cork or EVA grips according to angler preference depending on models. A convenient and comfortable Fuji Backstop Reel Seat prevents premature loosening of the reel from regular use. Equipped with Fuji Tangle-Free K-Guides, anglers can cast freely without hang-ups or tangles when using braided lines, while the Faz-Lite guide inserts offer smooth casting and are highly resistant to cracking or falling out.
