Below the surface, this Longbow carp rod range from Daiwa harnesses great power and delivers remarkable levels of control. Thanks to MT profile, Daiwa has also been able to push the design limits of the test curve, bringing a groundbreaking 4lb TC model. Such a test curve would have been more familiar on a marker or spod rod, however, the outstanding casting power is remarkably well balanced with a responsive and forgiving tip action that ensures even tentative hook holds are not penalised.

Im looking forward to trying these out. I should imagine theyll be a step up from my sonik rods. Cant wait to give them a blast.
100% mate
Are they even more special than the last special rods
*fishes with Argos own brand*
@@HelloCarp
Who does?
@@malcolmfunnell4501 😉
I’ve got these in 12ft 3.5lb. Love em. The 3.5lb is a really nice blank and has some proper back bone when needed, oh and casts luvvvvly ;)
What are they like for playing fish?
@@chrissmith-wb6st great mate I use braid and never feel like they’re too pokey BUT I have beasted them pulling fish from snags. They’re very good all rounders.
@@lg3784 I currently use soniks in 2.75 but I’m moving to a bigger water soon so want something that will cast further but still have fish playing ability. My concern is I end up with broom handles
@@chrissmith-wb6st these are not that mate. Very lightweight and a quick tip action. They will cover 90% of your fishing in any lifetime with the other 10% being mega range 130+. I’ve had the ‘broomsticks’ and these aren’t even in the conversation mate👍🏻 u can buy these with confidence
@@chrissmith-wb6st either these or another good option is the Nash X series 3.5lb 12ft they are capable of casting but very light for playing fish
How do they compare to your custom built rods?
I personally had the longbow x45 df before upgrading to the kaizens. Diawa know how to make a rod I’ll give them that much and I’ll guarantee these rods reflect the price they are set at
How are you finding the kaizens
Mine was proper creaking wen first using them ?
Brilliant always use Daiwa rods
I’d like to know how the 13ft 4lb tc compares to the Kaizen as thinking about purchasing some of these longbows
Being of Japanese origin they probably applied Kaizen in their production process. Im also surprised they let the workers handle the carbon prepreg without gloves....
It’s Friday , chill with the big words and procedures.
Grab a beer watch some fishing vids
Sitting on their pod 😁
So come on Curly,
If you had a choice what set would you have. Diawa or kaizen 🤔
Kaizen rods are built on Daiwa blanks.
@@clooperman3745 how do you know this. And if so could you send me any info you have on them
The fish dont care what rods you use. I’m on a water with wild 50s & catch more than most on +20yr old rods & reels
Great story
They don't, but if they are showing 150 yards away what are you going to do?? Nothing 😅
How do these stack up against the horizon x4’s
They don’t
My mate has horizon x3..worst rods I've ever seen..all different lengths..however they shouldn't be and the way the carbon is wrapped on each rod is also different..£20 ron Thompson are better 100% fact..free spirit everytime..been selling the same rod for 20 years and every year diawa and the rest of them bring out a new one and fail..next year will be the same story
These do look lovely but surely any rod is only as good as the angler holding it?
Not at all, some rods are cheep and nasty and are terrible.
Also the quality of carbon the amount of resin used effects how long it holds its stiffness.
A 3k carbon rod will have more resin in it than a 1k carbon rod so will lose it stiffness faster.
Also each rod will have a different action and weight different amounts, normally the the cheaper the carbon the heavier the rod will be.
Better quality build will enable better distance on casting. No point fishing some waters if you can’t reach the fish.
I'd like a 2.75
Cześć 👍
Needs a line clip but they look like nice rods
Easy add on, not everyone wants them I guess … which leaves it customisable to us … do look nice though don’t they 😊😅😮
@@SPS_survivor mint rods never seen a bad rod with a diawa logo on
The Ugly Stick's from the 90's were my rod's. My ultra lite and everything in between my 15ft Steelhead rod
These have been out a while now. Angling times also did a feature on them.
Longbows have always been up there as one of the best production rods out there.
The person above mentioned Kaizen, which I imagine Korda took a lot of inspiration from these rods or at least the blanks, as they were avid Daiwa users.
Out of my price range, but if you can, why not. 👌🏻🎣🔥
If you guys ever tested something that turned out to be even slightly mediocre i might be able to take your reviews seriously
Indeed. Its just a paid promotion not a review.
Carpology is nothing more than an online advertising magazine paid by manufactures to promote their products. The beards can only give promising praise and descriptions of the products. They are not reviewers and they are certainly not experienced enough anglers and they do not have the required skill set to be able to give detailed non biased opinions about the products. So take it for what it is, online advertising to have a look at if they are promoting something you want to have a look at.
Wouldn't it be so refreshing if they tested a product (any product!) and said... Well I've gotta say they're crap.
Imagine! Their reviews might even become credible going forward. And before you say that's not how the world works. That's how reviews used to work.
These aren't reviews. Just infomercials. Spieling off Daiwa's description of the product.
Next year there will be new ones..meanwhile free spirit have been selling the same rod for about 20 years and its better than anything..especially a shitty diawa
My mate has the infinity 3.75 dfs he got them years ago and they are still going strong, I have the free spirit hi s in 3.5s. they have better fish playing action but as an out and out casting tool his rods are better end of! Honest review from someone who loves his free spirits.
@@jim212e are you comparing 3.75 with 3.5 rods..Well am here to tell you that free spirit casting rod is 13ft hi s ive which is 3.75 and I will outcast your mate with his df rods.end of.. even stiffer are the hi s 220s
My mate's rods are 12ft my rods are 12ft, I was saying that the free spirit are better to play fish on but his rods really come into their own when casting. Ive only seen what I've seen to compare with, you obviously are in the trade and have multiple rods at your disposal 😂😂😂
@@jim212e a 13ft ive is 3.75 but coz of the extra length it plays fish like your 12ft 3.5 but casts way further.not in the trade..i have 12ft 3lb hi s rods.but they go 160..alot of people have 13ft hi s ives and cast at 140 and think thats far..danny fairbrass cant cast..he does 150 and then goes and designs a casting rod..every single year for daiwa and now hes on his on kordas.ive seen terry use them..but we all know he wont be using them next summer..so what are your mates rods for..they are 12ft and coz they are 3.75 they will be super stiff and make rather poo fish playing rods..but at the same time they wont cast as far as 13ft rods..so if we are honest..they are shit for casting and shit for playing fish..total waste o space if you ask me..
Trip over the butt section as way too long.
its just a fishing rod ,nothing more nothing less ,rods built in a factory ie mass produced , they are not morgan cars ,meaning you dont have to put your name on a waiting list for one do you ?
That logic makes no sense. If comparing to cars.. you can have a Nissan juke or a Mercedes amg. Both are massed produced but one is obviously better than the other
@@rcornes80 i compare how i like ,
@@troywales983What a moron 🙄
I compare Troywales to a village idiot. As both talk nonsense
People are struggling and you want how much? Keep em all 1million of them
Sorry mate, but what sort of angling do you do abc? It all depends on your needs as an angler, and nobody is asking you to buy them! I’m sure they’ll fly off the shelves.
Do you do any long range casting, big carp (50+) is it European trips or relatively small English waters, public lakes? If the answers are small public lakes with short casts then you’re probably fine with buying budget rods (there’s a good selection of rods for under £100 each that suit smaller waters and the fish that reside in them - these aren’t designed with a low budget in mind, however, I know a guy who builds custom rods up in the Cotswolds and if he gave you a quote for a set of three it’s make your eyes water (and mine) 😂 compared to these new reasonably priced Daiwa rods.
The best selling point for me is (handmade in uk 🇬🇧) Not much is these days so it’s great to see and for that fast action throughout the blank for quick recovery on a long cast making sure you hit that clip every time, plus your spod rod needs to be the same/better.
A lot of people I’ve seen in France may have 3 $hit hot rods but their spod doesn’t match so they are forced to fish closer as they can’t bait up effectively.
As I say, it’s all down to budget, and of course they’re not for everyone, but at the higher end of the scale they are well priced and have the power and nice action for fast recovery on those long casts and playing fish - to have rods with power for long range just makes your week long sessions so much more enjoyable as you’re not fooked by spodding 30/40+ a day and some at the right time of year.
I use Free spirit rods and they are a dream to fish with along with my big pit reels as France is often on the cards 3/4 sometimes 5 trips a year.
But hey, we all have budgets unfortunately, fish within it and do what we love. C’mon the carp
