Accudepth Trolling

The Daiwa Accudepth Trolling is Daiwa's specialized freshwater trolling rod series, designed to pair with Accudepth line counter reels for salmon, steelhead, and walleye trolling on the Great Lakes, large inland lakes, and rivers. The series covers multiple trolling methods: standard downrigger trolling, dipsy diver trolling, leadcore/copper line trolling, and planer board applications. All 13 models are casting/conventional rods. Blanks are graphite composite with slow or regular (moderate) action, the slow action is standard for most downrigger and dipsy models, absorbing rod-tip bouncing and providing the spring-loaded bite detection that trolling demands.

Hardware includes aluminum oxide guides rated as cut-proof, and Air Foam grips for extended-use comfort. The ACDDR prefix denotes the standard downrigger/dipsy series; the ACDLC prefix (two models) indicates leadcore-rated heavier blank construction; the ACDPB prefix (two models) identifies the planer board specialized rods with fast action and lure ratings more typical of casting applications. The 13 models range 6'–10'6". The standard ACDDR downtrigger/dipsy models run 7'–9'6", covering ML through MH power with slow action.

The 10'6" model (ACDDR1062H) and 9'6" dipsy model (ACDDR962H) are heavy-power regular-action rods for large-lure and deep dipsy applications. The two ACDLC models at 6'–6'6" are short, heavy (H power, 20–40 lb) leadcore sticks. The ACDPB planer board models at 7'10" and 8'6" are fast action, 10–20 lb, with 1/4–1 oz lure ratings, distinct from the other trolling models.
