Daiwa Tournament Uptide Boat Rod

An 8ft 6” sea fishing rod that's great for boat fishing on the drift over reefs and wrecks, as well as some light uptide work on calmer waters, the red and black trimmed Daiwa Tournament Uptide is crafted from high volume carbon, creating a blank that's a lot more powerful than first impressions might suggest.

X45 V Joint technology gives you a reliable strength, without compromising on flexibility and easy handling, while alconite guide rings stand up to the punishment of braided line, giving you the freedom to load up and head out for heavy hauling on the ocean waves. Fitted with a Fuji DPS reel seat and Gimbal butt cap, the Uptider offers the perfect blend of performance power and fingertip sensitivity, ensuring your casts go the distance, and putting subsurface feedback at your fingertips.

Ideal for fishing shallower coastal waters, the Uptider handles casting weights of around 5oz with ease, so if you're looking for some light saltwater tackle that will come into its own when you need to apply a bit of pressure, then give the Uptider a go, and make it your first choice if you're treating a novice sea angler to their first piece of quality tackle.

A good choice for pleasure sea angling, with plenty of flexibility when it comes to performance style, the Daiwa Tournament Uptide offers far more than meets the eye, and will offer anglers of all levels of experience a pleasant surprise when it's put to work.
