Key Benefits

• HVF Nanoplus Graphite Blank – Daiwa's advanced nano resin control technology allows increased graphite density within the blank, delivering an excellent combination of strength, responsiveness and lightweight performance.
• X45 Blank Construction – A specialised 45-degree carbon weave helps minimise blank twist during casting and lure manipulation, improving casting accuracy, strength and sensitivity.
• V-JOINT Technology – Advanced bias construction within the ferrule allows the joint to flex naturally with the rod, helping maintain a smooth, consistent bending curve and responsive action.
• AIR SENSOR Reel Seat – Daiwa's lightweight carbon fibre reel seat combines strength with excellent sensitivity, providing a direct connection between the angler and rod blank.
• Premium Fuji Guides – Quality guide components promote smooth line flow during casting and retrieving, with corrosion-resistant performance suited to saltwater fishing.
• Integrated Carbon Butt – Lightweight carbon butt construction contributes to improved rod balance and reduced overall weight for comfortable extended fishing sessions.
• Enhanced Squid Jig Control – The responsive blank allows anglers to impart controlled movements to their egi, from subtle lifts to more aggressive darting presentations.
• Excellent Bite Detection – Sensitive graphite construction helps anglers recognise subtle changes in line tension, including the delicate takes often associated with squid.
• Lightweight, Balanced Design – Carefully selected materials and components help reduce fatigue during repeated casting and jigging.
• Premium Emeraldas Styling – Distinctive blue and black finishes, refined detailing and quality components complete this purpose-built eging rod.
• Protective Cloth Rod Bag – Supplied with a cloth rod bag for convenient storage and protection during transport.

Product Technologies

HVF Nanoplus

Daiwa's HVF Nanoplus technology uses advanced nano resin control during blank construction to increase graphite density. By reducing unnecessary resin content and optimising the graphite structure, the blank achieves an excellent strength-to-weight ratio with the responsiveness required for precise squid fishing.

X45 Carbon Construction

X45 incorporates a left and right 45-degree carbon weave within the blank to resist twisting forces. This helps maintain the blank's round profile under load, improving casting consistency, strength and sensitivity. For eging, reduced blank twist also assists with controlled jig movements and accurate presentations.

AIR SENSOR Reel Seat

The AIR SENSOR reel seat uses lightweight carbon fibre construction to minimise unnecessary weight while maintaining strength and sensitivity. Its design provides a comfortable connection between the angler and blank, helping transmit subtle movements and changes in line tension.

V-JOINT

Daiwa's V-JOINT technology incorporates bias construction within the ferrule, allowing the joint to flex more naturally with the rest of the rod. This reduces the stiff spot commonly associated with conventional multi-piece rods and helps maintain a smooth, progressive bending curve.

Expert Advice

The Daiwa 27 Emeraldas MX is designed for anglers who want greater control over their squid jig presentation. Its responsive blank makes it particularly suitable for working Japanese-style egi through a combination of lifts, sharp rod movements and controlled pauses.

For land-based squid fishing: Focus on rock walls, jetties, harbour entrances and coastal areas with weed beds or broken reef. Cast beyond the structure, allow your squid jig to sink to the desired depth and work it back using controlled lifts and pauses. The Emeraldas MX's lightweight construction makes repeated casting more comfortable throughout longer sessions.

For boat-based eging: Work your jig along weed edges, reef patches and areas where squid are holding near the bottom. Maintain contact with the lure during the retrieve and pay particular attention to the sinking phase, when squid often take the jig.

Rod and Reel Pairing: Pair the Emeraldas MX with a lightweight spinning reel suited to eging and a quality braided line for improved sensitivity and jig control. A fluorocarbon leader provides abrasion resistance around reef and structure. Select your reel, braid and leader to suit the specifications of your chosen rod model.

Squid Jig Technique: Avoid working every retrieve at the same speed. Try two or three controlled lifts followed by a pause, allowing the jig to sink naturally. In clear water or when squid are hesitant, slower movements and longer pauses can be particularly effective.

Care and Maintenance: After fishing in saltwater, gently rinse the rod with fresh water, paying particular attention to the guides and reel seat. Allow the rod to dry completely before placing it in the supplied cloth rod bag.
