The Daiwa Prorex Stein is a 9'8" musky casting rod designed with input from musky guides, tournament anglers and tackle shop staff. The blank is high-density SVF Nanoplus graphite for sensitivity without extra weight, and a V-Joint ferrule joins the two pieces so the rod bends and fights like a one-piece but breaks down for transport. Fuji SiC guides handle heavy braid, an oversized pistol grip on the Fuji reel seat reduces fatigue, and a textured foregrip gives control during the figure-8 at the boat.
