Daiwa IL Hokage 120-270 Inter-line rod 7:3 action telescopic powerful made of 89% high modulus carbon.
Revolutionary technology utilize the incredible High volume fibre carbon, produce a fine diameter blank that resists twisting, eliminating blank stress, creating better casting accuracy, smoother drag pressure and greater hook setting power. The guideless blank allows for longer casts, superior action and the strength to overtake hard-fighting species. The reel seat is located closer to the bottom which makes the perfect balance. Rod bends evenly, no stress points provides maximum blank strength, it has 360 degree axially symmetric completely tangle free tip which provides equal performance at any angle. Linear Interline guide structure with the line runs inside the blank, is integrated inside the blank, the blanks true action is optimized, no tangles, no guide breakages, even line control with convenient no tangling storage.
Line is distributed evenly along the entire spiral structure, decreasing torque, providing smoother retrieves, friction free casting and ultra smooth drag pressure. Decreasing line contact and drag thus increasing cast distance and accuracy by drawing water off the line and keeping the line centred in the rod. By increasing the amount of spirals and deceasing the spiral peak, interline rods have become inherently more sensitive. Also includes a bias tip you combine the flexibility, operability, superior sensitivity and robustness, make this rod suitble for all weather conditions espeicially windy or rainy, in a wide range of fishing species such as red Mackerel, Sea Bream, Horse Mackerel, Grunt, Yellow-Tail, White-Eye, Flounder, Bass, Pike, Trout, Striped Bass and many other game fish, regardless of the pole-hand is placed in the deep-sea fishing, comfortable and real fishing performance in fishing for most species to exert, and has finished in the universal exactly 7:3 action rod.

Daiwa technology used in IL Hokage 120-270 to pursue the actual fishing true performance with the linear interline fishing method
Super water-repellent dry processing (adopted in #1).
Processing technology that combines the linear interline structure, the convex shape of the spiral portion is made in mountain shape, that allows water-repellent performance with a drop of water at realized contact angle 165 degree and high-level water-repellent water droplets almost does not touch most of the rod inner face and release of a smooth line. Even the water droplets repelled from the inner surface of the rod with line is discharged at once, provides long cast smooth. By application of a special water-repellent material, water droplets'm not remain in pole inside at all. Daiwa applied to the rod inside a special water-repellent material in powder form, just simply poured into rod inside. In addition, since the line through the rod inside to prevent sticking to the inner surface of the rod, Yamagata has continued to spiral inner surface of the rod reducing the risk of water-repellent material is peeled off by rubbing.
Linear Interline structure (adopted in #1-2).
The rod inner surface being subjected to durable water repellency. The linear structure refers to the structure material, inner surface becomes spiral protrusions mountain shape, which is the same state as the guide number of the 's inside the rod. The structure allows line runs inside the rod blank instead of guides which reduce the stickiness. In addition, because it does not strung film of water droplets between the inside of the blank inner surface and lines and speedy release of smooth yarn is possible. Decreasing line contact and drag thus increasing cast distance and accuracy by drawing water off the line and keeping the line centred in the rod and achieving a speedy release of the line.
Flexible tip bias and removable SiC top guide.
The bias design arranged obliquely fibers of the carbon cloth of the blank material, high sensitivity and flexibility in spite of a large diameter, it is easy to take the hit. Strong inner diameter 3.0mm specification also trouble of garbage clogging float stop is through smoothly. A simple removable lightweight resin SiC top guide helps easy to do maintenance of the top guide, to adhere most dirt which is difficult to remove, such as jellyfish, plankton, seaweed, etc...
Entrance friendly guide to the line (SiC ring).
When the two guide round attached to the inlet portion functions as entrance guides, oval attached to the rod body acts as an entrance guide and extended the rod, it functions without damaging the line in both ways, when it is retracted.
Thread Garni prevention Under plug.
Under plug which arranged the guide sticks to the bottom of the section immediately above the base rod to go inside when you closed the pole Motoue-bushi, together with the thread Garni prevention mechanism was applied to the lower plug further, can shorten rod to prevent scratches of line at the time of the storing when the rod folded.
V grip seat.
Grip shape sheet of Daiwa own is easy to grasp when you set the reel, the load on the arm is small. In the case of dealing with fishing pole in hand all day, comfortable fit of the grip leads to improved sensitivity and bring great advantage.
Easy operation.
The line go inside through the guides located inside the rods. The rods is special designed With carbon thread inside to make sure the line go smoothly and will not touch the rods side tightly. Ensure the line will not scratch with the rods. The steel wire is for help the line go inside.
1. Sets the reel, to extend well above the original. One looped side connect with the line.
2. Another site insert into the rods guide and pull wire straight through the tip top, until it is passed through to entrance guide.
3. It passed through a Michi-ito the tip of the wire that came out of the entrance guide.
4. When the fishing line go out of the tip guide disconnect the line and the wire. Pulled out the wire from the top and store it for future use.
As well as convenience of threading, this is one of the technology of Daiwa can realize the ideal of tone in a compact put away.
Interline Technology
Smooth bending curve - Interline rods bend evenly, no stress points provides maximum blank strength, unlike guided rods which create an uneven segmented curve with high stress points.360 degree axially symmetric tip - completely tangle free and provides equal performance at any angle, standard tip guides tangle easily and to get full performance they must be used at the same direction as the line.
No external weight - normal guides add weight, thus the action of the blank is degraded, Interlines guide structure is integrated inside the blank, and no external weight means the blanks true action is achieved.
Torque free - the line is located inside the blank, no guides to provide torque stress points, with many contact points torque and friction is reduced, normal external guides create high friction and torque reducing the life of the blank.
Linear Interline raised spirals - line is distributed evenly along the entire spiral structure, providing smoother retrieves and ultra smooth drag pressure.
No guides - no tangles, no guide breakages, even line control with convenient no tangling storage.
Extremely high sensitivity - with up to 200 linear contact points directly onto highly sensitive carbon, Interlines are inherently more sensitive compared to standard rods, guides are made of materials that absorb vibration "dulling" line sensitivity.
No slack line - standard guided rods can have up to 30 cm's of slack line due to the segmented guide distribution whereas interline provides completely even line distribution, even the subtlest of bites are felt and strikes are instantaneous.

Always take a good care of your rod.
- Do not use any substitute materials or wire instead of wire designed to operate with this rod.
- Do not kink, bend abruptly or otherwise abuse the threading wire. It could damage the rod.
- Always use the recommended knots for connecting leaders.
- Do not brush inside; this may damage the inside of the rod.
- Accumulated water can be removed by whipping the rod.
- After use rinse out the inside with freshwater and whip the rod to remove excess water. Allow to dry before storage.
- Do not apply oil or lubricant to the inside of the rod as this will impedeline flow.
- Wash the exterior of the rod with freshwater after use.
- Never lift your catch.
- Always open and close telescopic rod with a special care.

Interline rods are highly suited to braid and PE lines, these lines require monofilament leaders and thus leader knots. For optimal performance Interline knots require ultra slim knots for easy line flow. Common leader knots like Twisted Leader Knots and Double Uni's are sufficient but the PE Leader Connection knot for connecting leaders to braided lines for maximum interline performance is suited best. For maximum knot strength apply a quick dry super glue to the knot.
Be careful
- Knots are unnecessary and may interfere with smooth threading.
- If resistance occurs do not force through. Simply remove and start again.
- The tip section has small diameter and leader knots can get entrapped inside the blank. For larger leaders keep the leader knot outside the blank.
- Entrapped knots or line can damage the tip section.
