The ultimate rock shore rod for challenging your own limits and catching record fish. BREAKTHROUGH. In order to catch bigger fish, Daiwa worked tirelessly on-site with testers to create stress-free lure operation (Concept 1), which allows you to keep your lure moving comfortably throughout a day of fishing.

And overwhelming fighting performance (Concept 2), which seeks the ability to overpower and control a hooked fish. The development goal was to achieve these two concepts at a high level. The resulting rod has amazing fighting power which opens the door to anglers chasing the ultimate land based game experiences.

CONCEPT 1- Stress-free lure operation

The important thing in shore jigging and casting is to keep manipulating the lure to capitalise on all chance at a bite. Whilst casting from rock ledges large lures and jigs over 100g are often used which can take a toll on the angler. These lures are sometimes sensitive to action, and often you are fighting the tide and waves to lure in the fish. Daiwa carefully considered the tip material and taper from various perspectives, and pursued a smooth taper for load transfer and excellent blank recovery. This has greatly improved the ability for anglers to work lures freely.

CONCEPT 2- Overwhelming fighting performance

In developing the DRAGGER, we carried out a major review of the power ranking of shore jigging rods. DRAGGER BREAKTHROUGH is designed to subdue the biggest fish possible and an anglers experience can feel like a literal life and death struggle. In order to control a large fish during an extreme fight, you need a strong butt power in reserve if you need it. BREAKTHROUGH has a thicker butt section to ensure even more rod power is available to the angler.

This allows you to forcefully stop a violent first run, gain the upper hand from the start, and fight the fish smoothly. It is a rod that does not give anything away to even the largest fish. DRAGGER BREAKTHROUGH is made for the anglers willing to put their bodies on the line in pursuit of giants.

Features

X45X – Full Shield Technology is 25% more efficient than standard X45 technology. With increased torsional stiffness, blanks armed with X45X resist blank twist during casting & jigging. This characteristic prevents the blank from losing stored energy during the cast, ensuring that every bit of force you put into your cast, is transferred through the blank and ultimately to your chosen lure.

V-Joint Alpha – Lighter and stronger than its predessor, V-Joint Alpha features Bias construction that allows the rod joint to flex with the rod toeliminate flat spots and weakness in the ferrule joint.

HVF 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.
