Daiwa 22 Tanacom Z Electric Fishing Rod

The Daiwa 22 Tanacom Z Electric Fishing Rod Range has been built specifically for anglers who regularly fish deep offshore waters using electric reel systems and need a rod capable of handling heavy loads, powerful fish and extreme depths.

Designed as the perfect companion to Daiwa's highly regarded Tanacom electric reels, the Tanacom Z series provides a complete deep drop fishing solution for anglers targeting some of Australia's toughest offshore species. Whether you're fishing the continental shelf for blue-eye trevalla, dropping baits into deep canyons for bar cod and bass groper or working offshore reefs for ruby snapper and hapuka, these rods are engineered to perform when conditions become demanding.

At the core of the range is Daiwa's GLATECH blank construction. By combining a carbon blank with linear fibreglass reinforcement, Daiwa has created a rod that maintains the shock-absorbing characteristics of fibreglass while avoiding the excessive weight and reduced sensitivity often associated with traditional deep drop rods. This gives anglers better control over hooked fish while reducing pressure spikes on hooks, leaders and braided lines.

Further enhancing performance is Daiwa's X45 carbon technology. This specialised carbon wrapping reduces blank twist under heavy loads, helping maintain lifting efficiency and rod stability during prolonged fights. This becomes particularly important when electric reels are retrieving heavy sinkers and large fish from hundreds of metres below the boat.

The component package is equally impressive. Fuji heavy-duty boat guides featuring SiN II ceramic inserts provide exceptional durability and smooth braid management, while the ALPS swivelling roller tip helps minimise heat build-up and maintain smooth line flow during long retrieves. A custom Daiwa bent butt further improves rod positioning and comfort when fishing from rod holders aboard Australian offshore boats.

Available in heavy and extra-heavy configurations, the Tanacom Z range caters to a wide variety of Australian deepwater fisheries and remains one of the most trusted electric fishing rod series available for serious offshore anglers.
