DAIWA ROD - MAD VIPER FANG 157 ( ELECTRIC REEL ROD )
Strong and durable Solid Power Maximum (SPM) MAD VIPER
The high-density glass solid is wrapped with cloth that makes generous use of Daiwa's proud material technologies, such as 3DX and X45, giving it a flexible tenacity that entices fish to bite.Once a fish is hooked, it bends tenaciously, making it difficult for the fish to come off, and it has the strong power to control the fish.
Daiwa Technology

3DX
3DX is a support structure that exerts its presence by concentrating on the point of resilience. A honeycomb structure with excellent stability and resilience is adopted for the outer circumference to restore the shape of the rod. Every time the rod is bent, it is loaded, and the cross section of the rod is deformed into a slightly flat shape. The stronger the force returning to a perfect circle from here, the higher the resilience, which can converge the wobbling of the tip and improve the stability and distance of the cast.

X45
In order to prevent twisting that occurs during casting, action, hooking, fighting, etc., we have concluded through years of research that the best way to prevent twisting is to wrap the rod with a 45° bias cross (carbon fiber etc. inclined at ±45°) in addition to the conventional structure (0°, 90° to the tip of the rod). The incorporation of X45 prevents twisting and dramatically improves power, operability, and sensitivity.

SOLID POWER MAXIMUM
The design is made by wrapping cloth around a solid material (solid wood) that has been made with the utmost in density. This significantly improves power while retaining the tenacity that is a characteristic of solid materials.
Product Details

■Specially selected glitter thread all-wrapped and guide-wrapped
- Fully wrapped in glass solid thread for tenacity and strength
. The solid blanks are wrapped in thread from the grip to the tip. This weakens the repulsive force, slows the return of the rod, reduces biting and jumping, and stabilizes the tackle. It also responds tenaciously to sudden pulls and protects the material.
- Fully wrapped in glitter thread and guide wrapping.
This gives a luxurious feel, but at the same time makes cracks in the thread winding area less noticeable, making it easier to maintain the appearance.

Fang 157 Shigeaki Kitamoto Tester Impressions

The new "Fang 157" has been added to the Matt Viper series. Recently, short rod lengths have become more prominent in inshore live bait fishing such as yellowfin tuna in Sagami Bay and Zenizu, but there is a reason for this. The biggest benefit of the bold shortening to 157cm is that it is easier for the angler. First of all, if you are holding it in your hand, the feeling of heaviness is overwhelmingly reduced, allowing you to maintain concentration. The weight is 695g, which is only 5g less than the "Fang 170" (700g), but the benefits of shortening it by 13cm for hand fishing are immeasurable. Furthermore, the good response of the short rod makes it easier to set the hook. Setting the hook is important for both yellowfin tuna and live bait fishing, but the power is easily transmitted to the tip of the rod, preventing failed hook sets. And the benefit of this is most noticeable when fishing. Even though the rod is short, it requires less lifting force, but it maximizes the performance of the rod with its strong butt power and SMP (Solid Power Maximum Material), and strongly supports bringing monster fish to the surface. When using live bait fishing, it is possible to peel off the fish from the root in one go, and the angler can take the initiative and control even large yellowfin tuna.
In addition, with the introduction of this tackle, even anglers who are not confident in their physical strength will have more chances to catch the big fish of their dreams. When combined with the newly released "Sea Borg ", you can experience a light feeling of 1665g that you could never have imagined before. It can truly be said to be a next-generation rod. Even when the waves and swells are high, the Solid Power Maximum material absorbs them, stabilizing the tackle and allowing for comfortable fishing.
