I wonder how many sales Daiwa have lost over the years having DF on their rods.
The amount of people who don't like him never ceases to amaze me

I'd of thought that would of been the total opposite to be honest.

I admire Mr fairbrass and his many achievements. However I just don't like the build on those daiwa rods. If the blanks were available for a custom build I might be tempted.

It really is a shame they arent not more widely available. I know Daiwa does allow the rods to be custom made but only if you order in size as per the Future Fishing line of Powermesh rods.

He was the Head of design for rods at daiwa uk and developed the amorphous range and later infinity before starting his own custom rod company mainly doing fly rods.
