About this piece
The Daiwa Overdrive 120S is a heavy sinking pencil built for extreme casting distance and unrivaled versatility. Its aerodynamic design and 45g low-center-of-gravity fixed weight achieve casts averaging over 108 meters, while the compact head fin ensures a stable flight path even in strong crosswinds. Slow retrieves produce an enticing wide tail swing action, while fast retrieves shift to an irregular, darting roll that provokes aggressive strikes from pelagic species.
