About this item

What the maker's numbers say about this model:

  • The Presso AIR AGS 61ML-E: 1.85 m (6'1") long, 2 pieces, 95 cm (37.4 in) folded, weighs 43 g (1.5 oz), lure weight 0.6–5 g (0.02–0.18 oz), nylon 1.5–3 lb (maker's figures).
  • 11 models from 1.65 m (5'5") to 1.85 m (6'1"), all 2-piece.
  • The shortest packed length is 85 cm (33.5 in) (55L-S).
  • Weights run from 40 g (1.4 oz) on the 510UL-E to 52 g (1.8 oz) on the 61LB.
  • At 43 g, the 61ML-E is the lightest 1.85 m (6'1") rod we list (of 130 at that length).
  • Rated for lures from 0.4 g to 7 g (0.01–0.25 oz) across the range.
  • PE line rating 0.15–0.6.
  • 99% carbon.
  • Japan list price ¥46,500–¥54,000, which is in the upper-middle of the price range of the 1440 rod series we list.
  • Rated by Daiwa for lures 0.4–7 g (0.01–0.25 oz), PE line #0.15–#0.6.
  • Sizes marked go (号) are the Japanese standard. For sinkers one go is exactly 3.75 g, so we convert it; for line it is a diameter class rather than a breaking strain, so we print the maker's number as published.
  • Specs are Daiwa's published figures; conversions to imperial are ours.
