About this piece
The Daiwa Metallia Torafugu 192 is a purpose-built rod engineered specifically for torafugu (tiger pufferfish) fishing, balancing delicate bite presentation with the backbone needed to control large fish. Its innovative design combines a supple tip section with a powerful butt, allowing anglers to detect the moment a hook enters the fish's mouth without the bait feeling unnatural. The rod features a convenient center-cut 2-piece construction for easy transport and storage.
