With its custom split-grip handle design, the Daiwa Emblem Pro Surf Spinning Rod offers a balanced in-hand feel that most other surf rods cannot. All-day comfort is a given when putting this rod through the rigors of casting from beach, pier, or jetty. Its lightweight 2-piece graphite blank features a 50-50 split for easy packing and storage, and is topped with saltwater-resistant SeaGuide Zirconia guides for use with all line types. Daiwa's exclusive hooded reel seat design offers ergonomic comfort and excellent feel; the blank extends through the butt section, for exceptional backbone strength, and the split-grip EVA handles keep overall weight to an absolute minimum.
