Daiwa Blue Backer MJ662MS – Shimano Stradic 4000XGFL Combo

Daiwa Blue Backer MJ 662MS
Purpose built for a range of light jigging applications. The Blue Backer range takes in-shore rods for light jigging to the next level by integrating some of Daiwa’s key technologies to provide anglers with maximum value and performance.

HVF technology combines precise resin control with unidirectional graphite fibre to produce a blank with maximum graphite density and a light responsive action. Performance is further enhanced courtesy of X45, by eliminating twist and preventing the blank from losing its round form, X45 allows a lighter a small diameter blank to be made, and lighter more dynamic rod to be created.
Featuring quality Fuji componentry and high-density EVA grips, the Blue Backer is designed with a range of technique specific actions that are ideal for lure fishing applications.

Shimano Stradic 4000XG
Never satisfied with just good enough, Shimano always finds another way to improve the fishing experience. The Stradic FL now features Shimano’s MicroModule Gear II to enhance rotational smoothness and power transfer that has never before been achieved in a reel at this price point. Couple MicroModule Gear II with SilentDrive, which fine-tunes internal components to the highest tolerances possible, and the Stradic FL approaches flagship-level performance. Plus, Shimano’s X-Protect water-repellent coating and specially designed, water channeling, labyrinth construction ensure a lifetime of top-level performance by stopping water penetration in key areas without adding a heavy rotational feel. The C3000, 4000 and C5000 models come equipped with Shimano’s Cross Carbon Drag system, designed to endure and conquer the most blistering runs and the most powerful fish.
