Daiwa Longbow X45 M Carp Rod - 12ft 3lb

While a beginner can use it, the Longbow X45 is a high-performance tool designed for experienced anglers who can maximize the benefits of its advanced casting technology.

No, this is a dedicated fishing rod. For spodding, please refer to the Daiwa Longbow X45 M 12ft 4.5lb Spod variant.

The 3lb test curve refers to the weight required to bend the rod tip at a 90-degree angle to the butt, indicating the power and suitability for casting weights between 2.5oz and 3.5oz effectively.

This model is designed and built in the United Kingdom.

Use a damp, soft sponge with a very mild soap solution if necessary, then pat dry. Avoid scrubbing with abrasive brushes.

Clean the male and female joints thoroughly with a clean, dry cloth to remove any debris or dust.

Check the guide for any hairline cracks or alignment issues; ensure you are not using line that is too thin or 'springy' for the guide size.

Ensure the reel foot is fully seated and the locking collar is tightened firmly. If it persists, check if the reel foot is damaged.
