Daiwa 26 TD Battler AGS Spin Rod

The new 26 TD BATTLER represents the next evolution of Daiwa Australia’s flagship light tackle rod series. Designed specifically for Australian anglers, it combines Daiwa’s most advanced rod technologies to deliver exceptional sensitivity, power and responsiveness across a wide range of freshwater and estuary techniques.

At its core is an ultra-premium SVF Compile-X Nanoplus graphite blank, delivering an outstanding powerto- weight ratio with crisp, lightweight actions. Daiwa’s 3DX and X45X Full Shield technologies further enhance blank performance by reducing twist, increasing lifting power and maximising energy transfer during casting and fighting fish.

The latest AGS carbon fibre guides reduce overall weight while improving sensitivity, casting performance and line control. Completing the package is Daiwa’s lightweight ZERO SEAT reel seat, providing outstanding comfort, balance and a direct connection between angler and rod, allowing subtle bites and lure movements to be transmitted with incredible clarity.

From ultralight finesse presentations to heavy-duty baitcast models for oversized glidebaits, the expanded lineup has been carefully refined to suit Australia’s most popular techniques and target species.

Technology

SVF COMPLIE-X GRAPHITE
Resin is further reduced and carbon density increased through nano technology to greatly enhance sensitivity, lightness, and responssiveness.

X45X - EXTERNAL BLANK REINFORCEMENT
X45X Full Shield Technology is 25% more efficient than standard X45 technology. With increased torsional stiffness, blanks armed with X45X resist blank twist during casting & jigging. This characteristic prevents the blank from losing stored energy during the cast, ensuring that every bit of force you put into your cast is transferred through the blank and ultimately to your chosen lure.

ZERO SEAT TECHNOLOGY
Dawia's new reel seat concept that features a highly palmable design for ultimate comfort and functionality in both spin, baitcast and overhead reels.

V-JOINT ALPHA - 25% LIGHTER, 25% STRONGER
Lighter and stronger than its predecessor, V-Joint Alpha features Bias construction that allows the rod joint to flex with the rod to eliminate flat spots and weakness in the ferrule joint.

AIR GUIDE SYSTEM - INCREASED LIGHTNESS AND FEEL
Weighing a mere fraction of the weight of traditional guides (40% lighter than an equivalent sized titanium guide) AGS guides feature a solid carbon fibre frame construction that minimises weight, improves casting distance and performance, and delivers faster rod speed, reduced rod, vibration and angler fatigue, and greater rod sensitivity.
