A 2025-release rod series based on forward-facing sonar (FFS/live sonar) bass fishing. All seven models carry the -FFS suffix and are tuned specifically for the sight-fishing-via-screen workflow: watching a sonar display while presenting small baits at precise depths. Primary techniques covered include strolling, hover-strolling, vertical jigging with micro lures, and drop shot. Blanks use Daiwa's SVF Nanoplus graphite, high-density fiber with reduced resin content for low weight and high sensitivity.
X45 bias-fiber wrap prevents blank twist during cast and hookset. Small-diameter Fuji Alconite guides are sized for thin braid and light fluorocarbon, including braid-to-leader knot passage. Parabolic (R/regular) action across most spinning models provides fish-fighting forgiveness that compensates for light-wire hooks used in FFS presentations. Five spinning and two casting models. Spinning covers UL through MH (6'–6'8") for the core finesse range; the two casting rods (6'8" MH R-action and 7' H F-action) address reaction baits and heavier presentations guided by sonar.
The 6' UL and 6'4" L rods with 1–3 lb and 2–6 lb ratings are purpose-made for micro-finesse. The 6'8" MH spinning and both casting models handle more aggressive sonar techniques at heavier lure weights.
Deeper Dive
A closer look at notable models.
Extreme micro-finesse end of the lineup. 1–3 lb line and sub-1/10 oz lure ratings make this a dedicated small-jighead and tiny swimbait rod for live sonar made for suspended fish. Very limited application outside FFS finesse work.
One of two casting models; parabolic R action on a MH blank is an unusual pairing that prioritizes fish retention over fast hooksets, appropriate for FFS swimbaits and glide presentations where reaction bites on light-wire hooks demand rod forgiveness.
The power outlier, H power fast action casting rod in a finesse-oriented lineup. Addresses situations where sonar reveals larger fish requiring more authority on the hookset, or heavier reaction baits tracked via FFS. Covers a different angler profile than the rest of the series.
