Freshly redesigned for 2022, the Daiwa Tatula XT Casting Rods give bass anglers of all levels an undeniable bang for their buck. The Tatula XT is built on Daiwa's renowned HVF blanks with Braiding-X technology. This method of constructing blanks with an outer layer of carbon tape in a crossing diagonal pattern dramatically improves power, operability, and sensitivity. Also outfitted with Daiwa's X45 Technology, these blanks are designed using a 45 degree bias construction that prevents twisting of the blank for greater strength, sensitivity and hook setting power. Daiwa's HVF (High Volume Fiber) compound contains a high concentration of carbon fibers with less resin, resulting in a rod that is lighter and more sensitive. EVA split grips and Daiwa's exclusive light and sensitive Tatula carbon nut reel seat offer a comfortable grip for all day casting. All models are fitted with durable Fuji Aluminum Oxide guides which diamond polished to an ultra-smooth finish for friction free casting with all types of line.
