About this piece
The Daiwa Prime Technical Tune 55M R is a mountain stream rod purpose-built for the TT fishing method, which uses ultra-fine nylon leaders (0.1-0.2 gauge) to achieve natural presentations and fool wary trout. It combines a soft, sensitive tip for delicate manipulation with a powerful butt section for quick, controlled landing. Supervised by TT fishing originator Jiro Shirataki, the rod was refined over multiple seasons on the Nagara River in Gifu Prefecture to deliver top-tier operability and line protection.
