About this item
What the maker's numbers say about this model:
- The shortest packed length is 179 cm (70.5 in) (701MHRB-G).
- Weights run from 105 g (3.7 oz) on the 701MLFS to 146 g (5.1 oz) on the 701MHRB-G.
- Rated for lures from 1.8 g to 56 g (0.06–2.0 oz) across the range.
- PE line rating 0.4–1.2.
- Carbon content 51–98% depending on the model.
- Japan list price ¥37,000–¥39,000, which is in the lower-middle of the price range of the 1440 rod series we list.
- Rated by Daiwa for lures 1.8–56 g (0.06–2.0 oz), PE line #0.4–#1.2.
- 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.
