The two Pro Staff UL rods have been developed together with our Team Angler Tim Jaschke and are perfectly matched with the requirements of modern Trout Area fishing.

The model with a casting weight of 0.5-6g and 1.95m length features a strong backbone and a sensitive spliced-in solid carbon fiber tip – ideal preconditions when very light spoons and plugs have to be presented at far remote spots and total lure control is key.

The model with 2.10m and a casting weight of 3-10g is equipped with a tubular tip and a very fast action. This rod is highly useful for a broad range of trout lures but especially suited for all kind of softlures.

Equipped with a two-sectioned EVA handle and original Fuji TVS reel seat, whose lateral notches allow an instant contact to the blank, therefore providing a magnificent sensation during fishing.

The perch models of the Pro Staff series have been designed for two completely different fishing styles.

The Finesse Perch with a casting weight of 3-14g features a spliced-in solid carbon fiber tip and a powerful backbone, leading to a perfect transmission of soft taps, lure action or bottom structures right to the angler. Extremely short upper handles and the innovative Fuji TVS reel seat with lateral pockets allow an instant contact to the blank. The perfect rod for presenting small lures like creature baits on the Flexi-Jig system, mini plugs and many more!

The model with 5-28g casting weight is equipped with a tubular tip and due to the resulting tip action is the proper choice for aggressive jigging with softplastic lures of all kind, but also does a great job at twitching small and medium-sized hardbaits. Perfect when large perches have to be targeted in deeper waters or at currents.

The DAIWA Pro Staff Zander rods are perfectly made for both – fishing with soft- and hardbait from the shore or from the boat. Casting performance and contact to the lure are outstanding!

The rod with a casting weight up to 42g has been made for fishing with medium lures at slow currents or standing respectively shallow waters.

The Power Zander model can cast lures up to 70g effortless and can be used in strong currents or deeper waters.

The Pro Staff Vertical has been finetuned to the needs of the modern vertical fishing for zander, perch and pike from the boat.

The blank’s tip action has been adjusted to be able to present even lures with heavy jigheads in strong currents and deep depths seductively. At any times the strong backbone offers enough power to set the hook effectively! This is of biggest importance when catching huge zander or pikes! The 1+1 segmentation of the blank offers a perfect bending curve under load and makes this rod nearly unbreakable under common fishing conditions.

The Pro Staff Vertical Spin features a very light and torsion-resistant DAIWA Air Sensor reel seat - made from carbon fibre composite.

The Pro Staff Vertical Baitcast rod has the same features as the vertical spinning version, but is equipped with Fuji ACS reel seat for baitcasting reels.

The Pro Staff Pelagic is equipped with a very strong blank and Spiral-Guide-Position.

Big and heavy softlures can be fished perfectly and the special guide position prevents tangling of the line at the tip guide at strong wind and waves – pelagic fish can thus been targeted fast and accurately! The 1+1 devision of the blank offers extra stability and a perfect bending curve even under extreme strains.

Big Bait – Big Fish! With our DAIWA Pro Staff Big Bait rods even biggest pikes with heavy softplastic lures or plugs are no problem!

Fishing with big lures is naturally very energy-sapping. Thus it’s even more important to fish with an ideally balanced and light rod with perfect casting properties! The Big Bait rods, made of HVF carbon fiber with X45 and Nanoplus technology combine exactly those characteristics, which are necessary for an effortless fishing! The classically designed handle section, made of premium cork, pleases your hand and at the same time provides the perfect lever to do long and precise casts. The blank fully loads during the cast and thus supports the angler cast by cast. The rod’s tip action and backbone have been constructed in a way to animate dull big lures to action and to buffer headshakes of hooked predators easily.

The Pro Staff Big Bait Spin for the fixed spool reel is equipped with exclusive DAIWA Air Sensor reel seat.

The Pro Staff Big Bait Baitcast rods offer the same characteristics as the Big Bait Spinning models and feature an original Fuji ACS reel seat.

The three Pro Staff Baitcast models have been developed together with DAIWA team angler Gunnar Schade and cover two important sectors of modern BC fishing. The rod with 5-18g casting weight is perfect for bringing small twitchbaits and plugs into action but is also strong enough to cope with soft bait fishing. Equipped with single-piece, slim EVA handle and ergonomic DAIWA Air Sensor BC reel seat.

The 2.25m model with a casting weight of 14-42g has been extensively tested with all kind of softbaits and medium-sized swimbaits – casting performance and lure control form a perfect alliance! During the testing phase this rod has been also successfully used for fishing with twitchbaits as well as with spinners and chatterbaits. Equipped with two-sectioned EVA handle and ergonomic Fuji ACS reel seat.

The Pro Staff Zander BC rod with Art.-No. 11322-247 features an DAIWA exclusive Air Sensor Baitcast reel seat and thanks to the length of 2.40m, it´s perfect to cast Softbaits up to 56g to distance and jigging them aggressively. Also good to be used with bigger hardbaits and with heavy Chutterbaits.

The rods for active catfish hunting were developed together with our team anglers in Poland and Czech Republic.

The Vertical Catfish rod has been exactly matched to the requirements of this successful method from the boat, kajak or belly boat. The 1+1 divided power blank holds large power reserves in the backbone and delivers the sensitivity from the tip, that is needed for successful presentation of the rigs and have fun also at the fight with medium sized specimen. The powerblank offers enough reserves to control also large specimen at every time. Equipped with Fuji ACS baitcasting reel seat, robust EVA handle and round Packbay buttcap for highest comfort.

The Catspin model from the Pro Staff Catfish range has been developed for active spin fishing from the boat and the shore. Special emphasis has been put on the blank design – the rod allows the application of a broad range of different lures and lure weights. The backbone offers huge reserves to control large catfish even under harsh conditions. The length of 2.60m is especially convenient when fishing from the bank but also allows the application from the boat. The Pro Staff Catspin rod can also be used for fishing for pikes with Big Baits. Equipped with ergonomic DAIWA Air Sensor reel seat and premium cork handle.
