DAIWA 23 INFEET S

Overview

The initial trio of INFEET light-tackle rods is receiving a refresh, with a total overhaul of the range, enhancing specifications and adding new technologies along the way. The first of the range is INFEET S, the entry-point into the technique-specific family and arguably the range that sees the most upgrades from the previous version.

• Totally new blanks have been developed, now featuring Daiwa’s Nanoplus resin technology, upgrading from HVF to HVF Nanoplus. This addition is a huge step forward, producing blanks that are physically lighter and stronger than the previous versions, with some models barely registering above 70 grams on the scales.
• INFEET S also receives the major update of an AIRSENSOR reel seat, previously used on the flagship INFEET EX models, which has further reduced the overall weight.
• Fuji Fazlite anti-tangle guides finish off the rods, providing great performance with either braided line or straight-through fluorocarbon.

Best Application Per Model

6101LFS

• Tight-cover specialist: Designed for fishing both hard and soft lures tight against floating structures where careful presentation trumps brute force.
• Key features:
  • A sensitive tip for precise skip casts into pontoons or boat hulls.
  • Fast taper ideal for presenting subtle yet distinct movements to suspending hardbody lures.
• Perfect for fishing grubs or small minnows right against structure. Opt for a shorter rod for an unmatched approach.

702ULFS

• Re-developed from the previous range and inspired by the fan-favourite 732ULFS action from the more expensive INFEET Z series.
• Key features:
  • Shorter length makes it ideal for small topwater lures like the Slippery Dog 65f, preventing the rod tip from contacting the water's surface.
  • Excellent as an ultra-light soft plastics setup with a softer overall action suited to unweighted-1/20th jighead rigged soft plastics.

702LFS

• The new all-rounder of the INFEET S range, a fast-actioned do-everything model.
• Key features:
  • Best suited to soft plastics with weights from 1/20th – 1/8th oz.
  • Enhanced sensitivity thanks to the inclusion of Nanoplus resin, making it a top pick if you could only choose one rod.

722ULRS

• A keen crankbait angler's dream, perfect for micro-crankbaits like the INFEET Kodachi and Rollin’ Crank.
• Key features:
  • Best suited for use in open sandy bottom flats with minimal structure.
  • Softer UL taper ensures even the timidest hooksets are protected.
  • A pleasure to use with treble hook baits, especially when paired with straight-through fluorocarbon.

722LRS

• Evolved from the original 702LRS, the new 7’2” length makes this a long-casting slow-taper crankbait machine.
• Key features:
  • Best suited for larger profile crankbaits & hardbody lures such as INFEET Spikes and Double Clutch.
  • Extra stiffness over the 722ULRS is advantageous when throwing hardbodies amongst more gnarly structure.

752LFS

• Born from the previous generation 732LFS, the new 7’5” extended version takes this fan-favourite to new heights.
• Key features:
  • Extra length makes it perfect for plastics in deeper water or slightly heavier heads.
  • Best suited for 1/16 – 1/8 oz jigheads with a tip that imparts subtle action and enough backbone to set the hook at long distances.
  • One of the standouts in the INFEET range and the most requested action from the Daiwa pro team.
