Daiwa Black Gold 242 AF

The Daiwa Black Gold 242 AF is a lightweight, sensitive, and extremely balanced spinning rod, developed for anglers seeking precision, comfort, and high performance in coastal fishing with artificial lures.

Constructed from high-modulus HVF (High Volume Fiber) carbon, it features a lightweight, thin, and highly responsive blank, providing excellent vibration transmission, fast retrieval, and great control while working lures.

With its 2.40-meter length and 10-42g action, it is perfectly suited for use with minnows, jerkbaits, soft plastics, and small jigs, making it ideal for fishing for sea bass and other coastal predators.

The fast action and balance of the blank allow for precise casts and efficient handling of medium-sized lures with great sensitivity and control.

The 2-piece construction ensures an excellent balance between strength, sensitivity, and ease of transport, maintaining a progressive and comfortable action during the fight.

Equipped with Fuji O-Ring guides and a Daiwa Air Sensor reel seat, it offers excellent performance with braided line, high ergonomics, and maximum sensitivity in marine environments.

The Air Sensor system reduces weight and significantly improves the transmission of vibrations to the angler's hand.
