Daiwa 26 Sensor Wave Surf Rod

Built for Aussie surf anglers who demand long cast performance, sensitivity, and strength in harsh coastal conditions.

The Daiwa 26 Sensor Wave Surf Rod is crafted for beach, rock, and headland anglers who want a lightweight surf rod that casts big distances while maintaining exceptional bite sensitivity. Purpose-built for Australian waters, this updated model delivers refined blank performance, enhanced line control, and the durability needed to handle powerful surf species and challenging environments.

Constructed using Daiwa’s HSD Graphite (High Structural Density) technology, the rod offers a crisp, responsive feel that lets you detect subtle bites even when fishing long gutters or deep beach channels. Braiding X reinforcement adds torsional strength and minimises blank twist during power casts, resulting in improved accuracy and greater distance with less effort.

Fuji Stainless Steel Fazlite guides provide smooth, tangle-free line flow, excellent heat dissipation, and corrosion resistance for long-term performance in saltwater. Ergonomic EVA grips deliver comfort and control during long sessions, while surf-optimised lengths and tapers ensure the power, leverage, and finesse needed for popular Aussie surf species.

Designed to excel in real coastal fishing conditions, the Daiwa 26 Sensor Wave Surf Rod is a reliable choice for anglers chasing salmon, tailor, mulloway, whiting, bream and more. Confidently launch long casts, work baits and lures cleanly through the wash, and stay connected to every bite.
