Daiwa Proteus Boat Spinning Rod – PTB80HFS

The Daiwa Proteus Boat spinning Rods have been redesigned for the 20-21 season to give anglers the upper hand when faced with tough game fish. These rods are designed with a rugged and powerful construction to provide unmatched lifting power, making them a favorite among West Coast anglers targeting California yellowtail and bluefin tuna. Whether you're fishing inshore or out in the deep, having a Proteus on board will give you that extra power needed to reel in big fish.

The Proteus rods are built on blanks made from Daiwa's High Volume Fiber (HVF) carbon technology, which ensures superior strength and rigidity for coastal applications while keeping the rod thin and lightweight for comfortable fishing. They also feature Daiwa's X45 Technology, which uses a 45 degree bias construction to prevent ovalization and twisting of the blank, resulting in greater hoop strength under heavy loads.

In addition, the Proteus rods are designed with Daiwa's Braiding-X design, where an outer layer of carbon tape is wrapped in a crossing diagonal pattern. This not only gives the rod a striking appearance, but also improves power, operability, and sensitivity.

To prevent line tangles with braid and provide accurate casts, all models of the Proteus rods are equipped with Fuji FazLite Tangle Free K-Guides. The ultra durable EVA Grip ensures a solid and reliable connection to the rod.
