Daiwa Proteus Inshore Casting Rods

Versatile Strength for Inshore

The Daiwa Proteus Inshore Casting Rods are built for serious inshore anglers who need a reliable, high-performance rod that can handle everything from Gulf Coast snook to California kelp calico. Engineered with Daiwa’s High Volume Fiber (HVF) low-resin carbon construction, these rods offer an ideal balance of lightweight sensitivity and backbone strength—perfect for working swimbaits or battling pelagics.

The HVF blank combined with X45 carbon wrap technology eliminates blank twist and maximizes power transfer, giving you better casting accuracy and control when it matters most. Whether you're working structure for specks or targeting trophy bass, you’ll appreciate the confidence these rods deliver under pressure.

Finished with Fuji K series guides and Alconite rings for smooth line management and long-lasting durability, plus a durable spiral-wrapped grip for added control in wet or rough conditions. From east coast to west coast, fresh to salt, the Proteus Inshore Rods are ready to perform.
