ROD:

The CD Haku topwater range has been designed in NZ for chasing one of the hardest fighting fish on the planet – the Haku aka Yellowtail Kingfish. Utilising a super high-modulus 46T graphite blank and the finest Alps and Fuji componentry, the Haku series is lightweight yet extremely powerful - ideal for both casting all day and turning big fish out of gnarly terrain. With a forgiving parabolic action the Haku jig rods allow you to exert extreme amounts of pressure on the fish without breaking your back, and will work jigs throughout their wide jig weight range.
