Daiwa 26 Infeet Bait Finesse Baitcast Rod

Built to master ultra-light presentations with precision, sensitivity and effortless control on bream, estuary perch and finesse-focused Aussie species.

The Daiwa 26 Infeet Bait Finesse Baitcast Rod is purpose-built for anglers who demand the highest level of touch, accuracy and finesse when fishing light lures in estuaries, rivers and impoundments. Designed to pair seamlessly with modern BFS baitcaster reels, this rod gives finesse anglers an elite tool for flicking micro hardbodies, small soft plastics and ultra-light topwater lures with absolute precision.

Crafted using Daiwa’s advanced HVF Nanoplus carbon and reinforced with X45 Full Shield, the blank delivers superb sensitivity while maintaining crisp power for controlled hooksets and confident fish handling. A Zero Seat system and split-grip layout create a low-profile connection that enhances bite detection and rod feel, allowing every vibration to travel directly to your hand.

The guide train features a combination of Fuji Titanium, Alconite and SiC guides for a feather-light, friction-minimising setup that improves casting distance and supports ultra-light line. For finesse anglers ready to elevate their technique, the 26 Infeet BF series offers a refined, high-performance platform built for total control. Perfect your presentation and fish with confidence on every cast.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of fishing is the 26 Infeet BF rod best suited for?
It’s designed for true bait finesse applications — ultra-light hardbodies, micro plastics and subtle presentations for bream, estuary perch, bass and other finesse species.

Can I use this rod with standard baitcasters?
You can, but it performs best with modern BFS reels that offer lightweight spool systems ideal for throwing small lures.

How does HVF Nanoplus improve sensitivity?
The increased graphite density results in a lighter blank that transmits vibration more effectively, helping you detect subtle bites and lure movements.

Is the guide train suitable for very light lines?
Yes. The Fuji Titanium/Alconite/SiC mix reduces friction, improves casting distance and protects fine leader materials used in finesse fishing.
