Daiwa's NEW PROREX XR rod series combines advanced carbon fiber technology and exceptionally high performance. The rods are made of HVF Nanoplus carbon fiber with the familiar X45 structure, which guarantees a light, strong and very responsive structure. The V-Joint connection ensures a seamless feel. FUJI's AIR SENSOR reel mount is the best available in this price range. The AIR SENSOR mount maximizes reel feel for fishing and enables a firm grip on the reel. Prorex XR rods are equipped with Fuji Alconite K line rings, which guarantee accurate and long casts. DAIWA PROREX BAIT 7'3'' 5-25g UNIVERSAL is a great rod for a general purpose rod because the recovery speed of the carbon fiber is not top class. A rod built as a regular rod therefore bends a little deeper than a billet built with fast-recovering fibers. In addition, when fishing for perch, whiting and grayling, REGULAR enables a softer feel to the fish during fatigue. Without compromising lightness and sturdiness. A great general rod, for example, for perch competitions.
