Daiwa Infinity MT X45 Rod

Daiwa Infinity MT X45 Carp Rod

Daiwa Infinity MT X45 Carp Rod is a flagship, high-performance carp rod designed for anglers who demand maximum casting distance, precision and refined fish-playing capability. It’s built for modern carp fishing on large venues, where reaching distant features and maintaining accuracy are critical to success.

At the core of the rod’s performance is Daiwa’s combination of Magnum Taper blank design with advanced X45 bias carbon technology and HVF (High Volume Fibre) construction. This setup reduces blank twist during the cast, allowing more efficient power transfer and consistently improved casting distance while maintaining accuracy. Testing has shown that these rods can achieve noticeable gains in distance compared to previous models, without sacrificing control.

The rod range is designed to cover a variety of carp fishing scenarios, with multiple lengths and test curves available. Options around 12ft and 13ft with test curves from approximately 3.25lb up to 4.0lb allow anglers to tailor their setup to suit different venues, casting styles and target distances. Some models are capable of approaching or exceeding 200 yards in the right hands, making them particularly suited to long-range fishing.

In terms of action, the Infinity MT X45 combines strong casting power with a responsive blank that still performs well when playing fish. Despite its distance-oriented design, it retains enough feel to stay connected during the fight, offering a balance that suits anglers targeting big carp at range where control is essential.

The rod is fitted with premium components throughout, including American Tackle TiForged Air guides, which are designed with a forward-facing, wider profile to reduce line resistance and improve casting efficiency. These guides also help minimise backlash, particularly when using braided lines or casting heavy leads.

Comfort and finish are also a clear focus, with a Japanese shrink grip handle and a flared butt section providing a secure hold during casting and playing fish. The rod also features a soft-touch reel seat and subtle design details, including a laser-etched UK flag, reflecting its premium build quality and heritage.

Overall, the Infinity MT X45 sits firmly in the top tier of carp rods, aimed at experienced anglers who prioritise performance and are fishing larger venues where distance and accuracy are key. It’s particularly well suited to those looking for a rod that can deliver consistent long-range casting while still offering the control and responsiveness needed when it really matters.
