Exceptional rod for Fluke, Seabass and scup. Great power to move the fish as well as sensitive to feel each bite. Highly recommend and can’t wait for Blackfish season to really put it to the test. I’ll be buying more.

great rod
January 12, 2019
paired this rod with VR50 reel. I fish fish it mainly for bonita and albies from my kayak. its perfectly balanced for this type of fishing. also use it for catching schoolies on the flats. the softer tip makes it easy for working plastics.

Would the 7'6" Medium Fast action be good for throwing small bucktails and soft plastics for NJ fluke off sod banks and jetties?? Il be pairing it with a stadic fk4000
1 Answer
Your going to want to have a rod that can handle a little bit heavier of a lure like a 3/4 to 1 oz up to 2 oz for casting ability and to hold bottom to bounce.

Are there any differences in the blanks between the proteus inshore rods and the original proteus boat rods? I want to use the conventional proteus inshore in the Heavy, and I want to be sure it can pull huge calicos out of thick seaweed, and throw 1-3 ounce baits comfortably.
1 Answer
Both inshore and boat rods come equipped with a graphite composite blank both made with fuji dps reel seats as well as fuji guides. The grip is the same on both rods as well Daiwa used the X-tube grip for better handling.

Rich,
Daiwa does not indicate whether it is a braid or mono line rating on this series of rods, but it appears to be a mono rating when comparing to other similar inshore rods.

Do you recommend the 7 foot medium heavy rod for working soft plastics, Bucktails and other lures? I fish off piers and boats and I need a rod that will be strong and hold up, but at the same time be able to cast and retrieve without problems. I fish for sea bass, fluke, striped bass , bluefish.

Yes, the MH rated for 12-20lb line would be a great option for what you are describing.

What is the lure rating for the 7foot medium heavy Daiwa proteus inshore rod? Also can this rod be used for fluke, sea bass and striped bass off a boat?

Daiwa does not list a lure rating for this line of rods and it could certainly be used for those species. Would pair up well with a 4000 class spinning reels.

looking to match a Proteus Inshore spinning rod to a Penn slammer III 3500. To be used from a kayak for European Pike Do you recommend this rod for the application and if so what model?
1 Answer
This pairing would work well for bottom fishing or vertical jigging. I would not advise using this rod if your application will involve alot of casting because it has a rather long but section which could make casting from a seated position difficult.
