DAIWA says its latest shore lure casting rods – Lateo – offer the ultimate in casting technology and innovation and are the ultimate for lure anglers who fish rocky shores and beaches.
At the heart of Lateo’s design is Daiwa’s latest design innovation – X45 which is claimed to deliver ultimate strength, power, and weightlessness, resulting in an ultra slim blank that eliminates blank twist and massively increases torque, and blank recoil.
By using this design the blank returns to its straight form quickly, inturn delivering faster acceleration, and longer more responsive casting. By combining HVF “High Volume Fibre” carbon with X45 construction Daiwa has created a powerful lightweight blank with more responsiveness and sensitivity than ever before.
A minimalist approach in design was deliberately used to eliminate any unwanted weight, with grips and blank cosmetics almost non-existent. The Lateo range features Fuji’s epoch-making guide system, and Alconite “K” guides to dramatically reduce line wrap and improve line speed for faster more accurate casting.
Lateo rods also feature customised Daiwa designed Oval reel seats for ultimate comfort and sensitivity, custom alloy componentry, and minimalist ultra-tough EVA grips to reduce weight for high speed casting acceleration.
