About this piece
The Heartland AGS 20th anniversary model embodies the ultimate shore fishing versatility, blending the legendary "Shiro Hayate" DNA with modern Daiwa technologies. Co-designed with Haruhiko Murakami, its slender, thick-walled SVF Compile-X blank with X45 and 3DX reinforcement eliminates play and power loss for direct, precise control. The AGS guide system with R-type frames further amplifies blank performance, while the 2-inch longer length boosts casting distance beyond its predecessor.
