DAIWA Aji_Mebaru X 74UL-S

Experience the excitement of finesse fishing with the Daiwa Aji Mebaru X 74UL-S, a Japanese-designed ultralight spinning rod built for anglers who enjoy targeting smaller species with lightweight lures and precision presentations.

Designed for Ajing (horse mackerel) and Mebaru (rockfish) fishing techniques, this versatile light game rod is equally at home targeting Australia's popular inshore and estuary species.

Featuring a delicate solid carbon tip and a lightweight carbon construction, the Aji Mebaru X 74UL-S provides excellent bite detection and a responsive fishing experience when working small soft plastics, micro jig heads and lightweight hardbody lures.

At 2.24 metres (7'4") in length, the 74UL-S offers additional casting distance, making it ideal for covering more water when fishing harbours, estuaries, rock walls, pontoons and sheltered coastal environments.

With an ultralight power rating and a lure range of 0.3–5g, this rod is purpose-built for finesse presentations where sensitivity and accurate lure control are essential.

The solid carbon tip is particularly suited to fishing small plugs and jig head rigs at distance, allowing anglers to cover water effectively while maintaining a delicate presentation and excellent bite detection.
