DAIWA's flagship shore casting rod, DRAGGER EX, is an exclusive VS Monster design built without target weight limits. Engineered as a tactical tool to achieve record catches, it combines exceptional casting distance and delicate lure control with high toughness. Its smooth, full-blank bend maintains relentless pressure, drastically reducing lost fish in intense fights near rocky shores to secure once-in-a-lifetime catches.

Evergreen Orion OCSC-62L/M-ST Black Dagger
The Black Dagger is a lightweight, highly balanced short-blade rod equipped with a solid tip and clad in Orion Black. It features a fast action created by combining a low-to-medium-modulus solid tip with a high-modulus tubular belly and butt. Retaining Orion's signature smooth character, it pairs delicacy, agility, and high sensitivity with impressive power, excelling in pitching and technical lure operation. The guides are sized slightly larger to facilitate line slack control while accommodating thicker lines and long-distance approaches. Designed with the high balance of a 6'2" length, this rod allows anglers to execute various bait finesse styles with greater precision, ease, and efficiency.
