DAIWA Exceler 2025 casting rod

Daiwa Exceler Casting predator rods

An iconic range dedicated to modern fishing

The Exceler series is one of Daiwa's great classics. Each evolution integrates the brand's technological advances to offer rods ever better suited to current lure fishing practices, while maintaining an excellent balance between performance and comfort.

Pike and large lure specialisation

For this generation of casting rods, Daiwa has focused on pike fishing. The range includes models specifically developed for working large lures, long-distance casting and float tube fishing. A very powerful model now allows extreme fishing with heavy lures up to 180 g.

A complete and versatile series

Comprising 15 references, the range also includes 5 one-piece rods dedicated to black bass fishing. MH actions stand out for their versatility with spinnerbaits and crankbaits, the H action is ideal for cluttered areas and jig or frog-type techniques, while the XH action is specifically designed for large swimbaits and heavy shads.

X45-reinforced HVF carbon blank

The HVF carbon blank benefits from an advanced manufacturing process with reduced resin and improved fibre adhesion during hot polymerisation. The X45 reinforcement limits blank twist, improves casting accuracy and ensures excellent recovery, even under heavy load.

Equipment optimised for braid

Fuji Concept O guides with type K frame are designed to effectively limit braid tangling during casts. The exclusive Daiwa ergonomic reel seat provides a secure grip and optimal reel control, even during intensive use.
