Built for land based anglers who need a long casting rod that's comfortable to fish, the Daiwa Emcast Surf Rods check all the right boxes at a fantastic value. The Emcast Surf Rods are built on a lightweight graphite blank that helps make casting easier, while retaining the strength to put the brakes on big game fish when the moment comes. Comfortable EVA handles and an ergonomic hooded reel seat allow for all day comfort when casting and handling the rod. The Emcast is equipped with Daiwa's Saltwater Tough Guides that feature corrosion resistant guide frames and aluminum oxide ring inserts for smoother casting. These rods feature a two-piece 50/50 split design for easy packing and storage when traveling to and from the water.
