The Daiwa S3B 838689 Vegastic Tough Uki appears to be a Japanese fishing rod from Daiwa’s Vegastic Tough series, likely designed for ukigiri (float fishing) or light bait fishing. Here’s what I could gather based on the model name:
Key Features (Probable Specs):
– Model: S3B 838689
– Series: Vegastic Tough (likely a durable, versatile rod for freshwater fishing)
– Length: Possibly 8.3m (838) or a telescopic design (common in Japanese ukigiri rods).
– Action: Likely medium-light or parabolic for smooth hooksets and playing fish.
– Material: Probably carbon composite (Vegastic series often uses high-modulus graphite for sensitivity + durability).
– Line Weight: Estimated 2-8 lb test (for small to medium freshwater fish like crucian carp, trout, or ayu).
– Sections: May be collapsible/telescopic for portability (common in Japanese rods).
Potential Use Cases:
– Ukigiri (Float Fishing): Ideal for delicate presentations with small floats and light lines.
– Light Bait Fishing: Suitable for small jigs, worms, or bread bait in rivers/lakes.
– Target Species: Crucian carp (funazushi), small bass, or ayu in Japanese streams.
Where to Find More Info:
Since this seems to be a JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) model, check:
– Daiwa Japan’s website (search for “Vegastic Tough” or the model number).
– Japanese fishing forums or retailers (e.g., Rakuten, Amazon Japan).
– YouTube reviews (search “Daiwa Vegastic Tough Uki” in Japanese).
If you have the rod physically, look for markings near the handle for exact specs. Let me know if you need help decoding them!
