Daiwa 26 Demon Blood Overhead Rod

Engineered for maximum lifting power and control when battling Australia’s toughest offshore predators.

The Daiwa 26 Demon Blood Overhead Rod is built to withstand the brutal demands of heavy offshore jigging and live-baiting. Crafted for serious anglers targeting hard-hitting species such as coral trout, kingfish, samson fish, and GTs, this rod delivers the perfect combination of strength, responsiveness, and reliability.

Its HVF Nanoplus graphite construction ensures a high-density blank that remains light in hand yet immensely strong under load. The 3DX carbon reinforcement provides multidirectional power flow, maintaining the rod’s shape through aggressive fights, while X45 Bias Wrap technology eliminates blank twist for superior torque control and lifting power.

Daiwa’s signature V-Joint ferrule ensures that even 2-piece models perform seamlessly like one-piece rods, giving anglers ultimate confidence in every strike and lift. The Fuji reel seat and guides deliver class-leading component quality, while the full EVA handle design offers a firm, fatigue-free grip throughout long offshore sessions.
