For those who are truly passionate about bass fishing.
STEEZ embodies the dedication of developers who aimed to create products that resonate with serious bass anglers, for whom bass fishing is the core of their lifestyle. We sought to craft a brand that shares DAIWA's genuine passion for bass fishing through products and messaging that speak to the heart. This entailed a relentless pursuit of perfection, utilizing DAIWA's technologies and vision to meticulously craft not just rods and reels, but every item essential for confronting bass. STEEZ is a manifestation of that dedication, designed to accompany the fervent spirit of devoted bass anglers.
STEEZ Real Control: A rod honed to conquer global tournaments, bearing the prestigious STEEZ name.
It offers "true operability" = "controllability," enabling stress-free bass fishing actions like precise casting, intuitive lure manipulation, and decisive hooksets. This rod represents a complete reimagining of DAIWA's bass rod concept, developed in collaboration with top professionals.
The thick, slender blank, crafted from DAIWA's muscular "SVF Compile X" carbon material, achieves the seemingly contradictory properties of easy bending and high resilience. This blank provides sharp swing-through, effortless casting, powerful hooksets, and secure fish retrieval.
Every desired performance characteristic has been realized. The exterior embodies a functional beauty that prioritizes practicality over excessive ornamentation.
Holding this rod will shatter conventional notions of bass rods, ushering anglers into a new world, a new stage of bass fishing, and eliciting involuntary expressions of awe.
AGS (Air Guide System) achieves lightweight and high sensitivity with its carbon frame. The carbon's properties, which have about three times the rigidity of titanium, directly transmit subtle signals from the line to the blank without absorbing them, providing high sensitivity. Additionally, the lightweight nature of carbon contributes to the overall weight reduction of the rod, especially the tip section, further enhancing sensitivity.
SVF COMPILE-X Nano Plus An ultra-muscular blank composed of significantly reduced resin and a correspondingly high density of graphite fibers. Its high hardness and resilience translate to exceptional signal transmission, providing sensitivity that makes you feel like you can touch the underwater environment. Additionally, the reduced resin content means a lighter and more powerful rod; with the same power, a much lighter rod can be made, and with the same power and lightness, a much slimmer rod can be produced. This blank is essential for fishing that requires instantaneous reaction to bites, offering sharp sensitivity and strong butt power. Its slim profile allows for easy casting and accurate placement in target spots, and its lightness enables all-day casting. This high-performance blank is further enhanced by Nano Plus technology.

CWS (Carbon Wrapping System) DAIWA's unique technology that secures guides and reel seats to the blank. 1 Instead of thread, parts are secured with tightly woven carbon cloth, making the attachment points lighter. 1 Additionally, CWS enhances holding power (torsional rigidity of the guide attachment) and durability (crack strength). 1 The distinctive appearance of the carbon cloth makes a bold statement.
X45 Full Shield (＝X45 Cobra Shield) is a structure that tightens the blank from the most prone tip to the 45° carbon bias cloth from the most effective outermost layer, which is the most prone to twisting that occurs during casting, action, hooking, and fighting. This dramatically improves torsional rigidity. This makes it possible to bring out the inherent performance of the rod and casting accuracy beyond what was possible until now.
X45 To prevent twisting that occurs during actions like casting, action, hooking, and fighting, our years of research have concluded that, in addition to conventional structures (0° and 90° relative to the rod tip), wrapping a "45°" bias cloth (carbon fibers, etc., angled at ±45°) is optimal for preventing twisting. With the incorporation of X45, we have achieved a dramatic improvement in power, operability, and sensitivity by preventing twisting.

MEGA TOP is a carbon solid in which fibers and resin are uniformly dispersed, and it exhibits the same bending in any direction. As a result, the strength has been dramatically improved compared to ordinary carbon solids. This makes it possible to create thin, flexible, high-taper tips, and it realizes a tip that can catch bites with excellent visual sensitivity that appears on the tip as well as sensitivity that resonates in the hand.

ZERO_SEAT is a new design concept for reel seats, aiming to provide a stress-free and truly enjoyable fishing experience.
*Applies to models S510XUL-SV・ST, S61L-SV, S63UL-SV, S65ML-SV, C610M-SV, C70MH-LM, C73H-SV・ST, C611MH-SV, S61UL-SV･ST, C71MH-SV･ST
AIR SENSOR SEAT with carbon fiber achieves lightweight, high strength, and high sensitivity. It is specially designed according to the purpose of the rod, providing operability that cannot be experienced with general-purpose reel seats.
3DX is a support structure that demonstrates its presence by concentrating on restoring force. The honeycomb structure, which excels in stability and restoring force, is used on the outer periphery to restore the rod's shape. Every time the rod bends, it is subjected to a load, and the cross-section of the rod deforms into a slightly flattened shape. The stronger the force to return to a perfect circle from here, the higher the restoring force, and it is possible to improve the convergence of tip shake, the stability of flight, and the flight distance.

MEGA TOP R A high-elastic carbon solid tip that combines the carbon solid "Megatop," in which fibers and resin are uniformly dispersed, with Toray Industries, Inc.'s T1100G using DAIWA's proprietary manufacturing technology, accumulating development even in the resin region, achieving a significant improvement in sensitivity and highly responsive operability.
