26 Steez Baitcasting Model

For those who are truly serious about bass fishing.

To create products that resonate with people who are genuinely serious about bass, for whom bass fishing is the very core of their lifestyle. It is the embodiment of the development team's hidden desire to create a brand with heart—one that can share DAIWA's own seriousness for bass through its products and message. To achieve this, we meticulously and stoically craft our creations using all of DAIWA's technology and passion. Not just rods, and not just reels. We pour this passion into everything needed to confront the bass. Together with the fervent passion of serious bass anglers... That is "STEEZ".

"Sensitivity": Beyond.

26STEEZ: A competition rod equipped with cutting-edge technology that brings the underwater world into view. The 21STEEZ, which underwent a full model change after 15 years, has been reborn, cloaked in cutting-edge technology.

The development concept is "Clairvoyance." The eternal theme of rods: sensitivity.

In the recent bass fishing scene, "Live Shooting"—which utilizes FFS (Forward Facing Sonar) to visualize the underwater world—has garnered significant attention.

What 26STEEZ aimed for is a rod that makes bass fishing even more enjoyable. By mastering its sensitivity—whether from a boat, from the bank, or even without FFS—it allows you to feel as if you are peering directly into the water. It enables you to feel the lure underwater in ways you couldn't before, operate it exactly as intended, and induce a bite, achieving things that were impossible until now. Furthermore, all items feature an easy-to-use detachable handle design and possess the trusted "Made in Japan" quality.
