The Daiwa TD Commander has been completely overhauled to bring you one of the highest performance rod series ever to be released from Daiwa Australia. The range caters for every light tackle, estuary and inshore application Australian anglers demand. Specialised models to cater for emerging techniques and fisheries. Brand new blanks, graphite, guides & reel seats elevate TD Commander to a whole new level.
Dressed in classic green and featuring stylish cork grips the new Daiwa TD Commander rod series is a range that delivers in both looks and high-end performance. From ultra-light finesse models designed for bream and trout, through to extra-heavy models made to muscle cod and barramundi from heavy cover.
Daiwa's brand new X45 takes everything to the next level. X45 significantly reduces blank twist and distortion, 25% more efficient than our standard X45 technology. X45 is visible to the naked eye, and is characterised by the distinct look of the TD Commander's blank.
Over 2 years of R&D went into the brand new Air Sensor reel seats used on TD Commander rods. By using high-end carbon material we produced a reel seat that is incredibly light, but also unmatched at transmitting bites through to your hands.
Our innovative AGS & Fuji Titanium SiC guide train is unique and unparalleled in performance. Titanium framed Fuji SiC guides get your line under control quickly. Then our patented AGS guides take over, controlling your line out through the tip and delivering unmatched sensitivity.
Features:
- 3DX multidirectional cross-wrap: 3DX supports the lower power section of the rod by knitting densely packed carbon fibers in 3 directions to achieve a six wrap rectangular weave. Power through the blank under load is distributed evenly in all directions allowing it to maintain its profile and form. This process confines the rod's power to the lower section of the rod, increases power, eliminates blank twist and collapse, all the while reducing angler fatigue.
- AGS Guide System: Weighing a mere fraction of the weight of traditional guides (40% lighter than an equivalent sized titanium guide) AGS guides feature a solid carbon fibre frame construction that minimizes weight, improves casting distance and performance, and delivers faster rod speed, reduced rod vibration and angler fatigue, and greater rod sensitivity.
- Air Sensor Reel Seat: Daiwa's carbon fibre reel seat that's minimal in weight, yet high in strength and sensitivity. Our ultimate high end, high performance reel seat.
- Fuji Guides: stainless steel frames with silicone carbide rings.
- HVS Nanoplus: Through the use of nano resin control technology in the blank construction process, Nanoplus allows for increased graphite density to be achieved within a graphite rod blank.
- V-Joint: Bias construction within the ferrule allows it to flex with the rod, eliminating the weak, unbending spot caused by ordinary ferrules. The result of this revolutionary technology is a multi-piece blank that matches the performance of one-piece blanks in flex, power and responsiveness.
- Next Gen X45: Developed to eliminate blank twist and increase power, X45 features a Bias Wrap Construction, left/right 45 degree carbon weave within the blank. X45 radically improves rod strength and durability by eliminating twist and preventing the blank from losing its round form. The elimination of this twist allows a lighter, stronger and more power and sensitive rod to be made.
