Daiwa Air z Pro 16m Pole 2021 First Look

[@andyjackson2269]

Cheers Ben Top Video.... I'll keep dreaming haha 👍

[@Severn3310]

To measure the stiffness of a pole in your reviews you could anchor the butt section on the seat box pole hook, rest it on a roller at a standard set distance from the box for all poles tested, then measure the distance from floor to pole tip at 13m, 14.5m & 16m+....just an idea as you could do the same standard test for all poles to make it fair, be black and white then for comparison!

Its just space and time if i get it on the box i will

[@26Tackle.reviews]

i did that with air z pro and browning sphere pt outdoor on box and bump bar! the z pro was stiffer

[@TheKeithorl]

@@26Tackle.reviews have you a video?

[@majmat]

You need to use a seatbox + spray bar, and not lay the poles on rollers to see the difference in sag/stiffness. Looks like a cracking bit of kit tho.

[@Angling4U]

just time space in the shop bud I will if i get it on the bank

Having used this quite a few times now I’m going to miff the daiwa fans of here, exo sphere is still better in all aspects, in all honesty the sphere pt+ is better as well in my opinion, however I wouldn’t pay the Money for any of them lol. To expensive for me, but my friends are rich and are kind enough to let me have a go of there expensive gear, don’t get me wrong this is an absolutely class pole but spheres are still the best of the best.

[@Angling4U]

I understand what you are saying I don't disagree, but you can only truly say that when you have fished with both on the bank.

[@abstract6758]

@@Angling4U I have fished with them all m8, my friends have all three of the poles I’ve mentioned, I’ve used all three and in my opinion exo sphere is still the best, but don’t get me wrong there all amazing poles

[@jasoncroft7442]

You would top match angler to offord that 3/1/2 grand.but worth every penny.but great to see top gear like.great video Ben 👍

5k

When will the first £10,000 pole be for sale the way it's going it ain't gonna be long. The top companies bring a new Pole out every 1 to 3 years on average I can certainly see a 5 grand plus pole being on sale in the next year .

[@johnrostron3804]

Theres already been a pole at ten grand years ago

[@GixerJunkie666]

Sphere exo is circa £6k

[@scottpardoe6349]

@@johnrostron3804 I've been racking my brains about this, thought I was imagining it. Was it a daiwa pole?

[@davidwescott2632]

That is at 15.5 metres. It states that on the final section. Same weight as air z.

[@Angling4U]

thanks for the info David

[@savmunago8007]

Think I said this in a previous message, if you’ve got the money, why not.. would I buy one, god yeah, would it catch me more fish? Ha ha - course not.

[@mrb6089]

So it's marginally better than the last one but more expensive,as yet again it's state of the art,pushing the boundaries of carbon fibre abilities,we just get drip fed in angling.in 15 years time we'll be using poles that could have been designed today

[@Angling4U]

Mate its how it goes. I try to cover all levels of pole this ill always b a highly opinionated category

[@garyfalkingham1783]

Great vid ,keep up the good work 👍

[@Angling4U]

Thanks, will do!

[@seandowns4298]

Does it come in a right hand version as well and is it the same price?😁😁
