JAF x Daiwa In support of Gumboot Friday
Not every rod is just for fishing.
The Talking Stick is a limited-edition light spin rod made in collaboration with Daiwa, built for lure fishing and built around one idea: fishing for your health.
Some of the best conversations happen with a line in the water. This rod is a reminder to check in with your mates and talk about how you’re really feeling, without being scared to share it.
Built by Daiwa
The blank uses Daiwa’s Braiding X technology, and its finishing techniques cut unnecessary weight. That makes it powerful yet light, with better sensitivity. Fuji Corrosion Control (CC) ‘O’ ring guides give anglers a high level of confidence, and a uniquely designed Daiwa reel seat keeps you comfortable through a long day on the water.
The rod comes with a Heritage Check flannel rod bag carrying Talking Stick and Gumboot Friday branding. It goes wherever the rod goes, as a reminder every time you head out.
