The pinnacle of the INFEET family, the INFEET EX has received an impressive update for 2023.  This time, it incorporates Daiwa's SVF Compile-X Nanoplus carbon in the blank manufacturing process, resulting in new actions with unparalleled sensitivity.

SVF Compile-X Nanoplus is the same graphite used in the flagship TD BATTLER AGS rods and offers INFEET fans the opportunity at a technique specific range with performance like never before. Remarkably lightweight and responsive, the INFEET EX also boasts X45X Full Shield technology to resist twisting, providing a rod blank that feels exceptionally crisp and responsive in hand.

Debuting for this model is Daiwa's brand-new concept "ZERO SEAT" and features the latest reel seat technology. Crafted from an ultra-lightweight carbon-infused resin material, ZERO SEATs are exceptionally lightweight, emphasizing comfort when paired with slim rods and smaller spinning reels. A combination guide train is employed on the rod, featuring Fuji Titanium framed SiC guides for the largest three stripper guides. These then transition to Daiwa’s AGS carbon-framed guides on the tip to save weight and enhance performance.

On select models, Daiwa’s MEGATOP solid tip technology features a solid graphite tip section, enabling increased bite detection without exerting pressure on the fish. This is perfect for subtle bites and delicate presentations.

Features & Technology:

• X45X FULL SHIELD - X45X Full Shield Technology is 25% more efficient than standard X45 technology. With increased torsional stiffness, blanks armed with X45X resist blank twist during casting & jigging. This characteristic prevents the blank from losing stored energy during the cast, ensuring that every bit of force you put into your cast, is transferred through the blank and ultimately to your chosen lure.

• AGS GUIDES - Weighing a mere fraction of the weight of traditional guides (40% lighter than an equivalent sized titanium guide) AGS guides feature a solid carbon fibre frame construction that minimizes weight, improves casting distance and performance, and delivers faster rod speed, reduced rod vibration and angler fatigue, and greater rod sensitivity.

• MEGA TOP - A revolution in sensitivity, Megatop is unlike any other ordinary solid tip construction. The new SVF - SPX material binds graphite fibres with precise resin control for an extremely even distribution of fibres. The result of this is virtually no spine in the rod tip so it bends the same angle in any direction. This allows for incredible pinpoint cast control with the lightest of weights, and its incredible transference of even the slightest bump or vibration allows for heightened bite detection.

• SVF COMPILE X - Resin is further reduced and carbon density increased through nano technology to greatly enhance sensitivity, lightness and responsiveness.

Best Application Per Model:

• 6101ULRS-ST - offers a unique combination of a solid graphite fast tip section and a moderate-action ultralight blank, making it the ultimate finesse crankbait specialist. With the MEGATOP solid tip section, it provides exceptional pliability, ensuring that when delicate fish strikes occur, they feel no pressure, allowing for a more effective hook-set.

• 702LFS - Considered by many as the standout rod in each series, the all-rounder serves as the foundation for your tackle collection. The 702LFS is a versatile rod capable of handling various applications but truly excels when paired with a single-hooked lure, such as a Bait Junkie 2.5” Grub, affixed to a light jighead.

• 712LFS - The revered choice from the 20 INFEET Z series, now elevated to flagship status, leaves no aspect unaddressed in crafting the ultimate light tackle rod. The rod features an exceptionally sensitive tip section, offering the ideal action for executing delicate twitches with your preferred Bait Junkie or shallow jerkbait.

• 722ULFS – Tailored to outperform other rods when handling metal blade and vibe-style lures, this rod is an advancement from the 732ULFS INFEET SK model. Widely recognized as a top choice for blades and topwater lures, it has earned favor from angler Steve Morgan. Additionally, it stands as a preferred option for Daiwa's Tom Slater when working with ultralight soft plastics, ranging from unweighted to 1/20th oz.

• 742ULRS - The ultralight crankbait rod in the EX series is specifically designed for smaller treble-hook baits such as INFEET Spike 44, Rollin’ Crank, and Kodachi. Its slow parabolic taper is effective in preventing pulled hooks, and when combined with straight-through fluorocarbon line, it establishes a system that guarantees a maximum landing ratio when fishing with lures featuring the smallest hooks.

• 742LRS – If you've ever observed Daiwa's Tom Slater using his preferred INFEET Spike 44/53 crankbaits in the turbulent regions of the Hawkesbury River, you've witnessed the setting that influenced the creation of this rod. As an extended iteration of the preceding 722LRS, the added length provides greater control for the angler to maneuver the line when battling substantial fish. The increased rigidity compared to the UL model proves advantageous amidst the turbulence, and the additional length contributes to improved casting distance.

•  742L+XS-ST - Mark Crompton's passion for Flickbaits and flats fishing inspired the development of this model. Leveraging Daiwa's MEGATOP solid graphite tip section, this rod facilitates the effortless casting of unweighted flickbaits, such as the Bait Junkie 295 Flick. The robust and powerful butt section ensures a strong hook-set, even at the extremities of the cast. The heightened sensitivity of the SVF COMPILE-X NANOPLUS graphite blank stands out as a significant feature of this specific model.

• 752ULFS-ST - Steve Morgan's vision for an ideal stick minnow rod comes to life in this design. Featuring a lengthy, soft build, it combines responsiveness to detect subtle bites when using straight-through fluorocarbon. Additionally, he has transformed this rod into his go-to choice for ultralight crankbaits, appreciating the enhanced length and forgiveness provided by the MEGATOP solid graphite tip.
