Team Daiwa Whisker Graphite 12ft TDM12

A superb example of the classic Team Daiwa Whisker Graphite TDM 12, a beautifully made 12ft, 3-piece carbon rod from Daiwa's highly regarded Whisker range.

This is a vintage Daiwa rod that will appeal to both the angler looking for a quality traditional coarse-fishing rod and the collector of classic Daiwa tackle. The Whisker name has long been associated with lightweight, responsive carbon construction, and the TDM 12 has the progressive action and feel that made these older Daiwa rods so enjoyable to fish with.

At 12ft in length, it is particularly well suited to traditional UK coarse fishing where a little extra casting distance and line control are useful. It makes an excellent choice for feeder and leger fishing on rivers, canals and stillwaters, while its progressive action also makes it capable of handling a variety of float-fishing situations.

It would be well suited to species such as bream, tench, chub, perch and smaller carp, making it a genuinely versatile piece of old-school coarse tackle.

The progressive/medium action provides a good balance between casting performance and playing fish, with enough cushioning to make lighter-line fishing enjoyable.
