Daiwa Blackline Mojo Conventional Rod

Built for the demands of striper trolling and heavy saltwater applications, the Daiwa Blackline Mojo Conventional Rod combines a premium component package with a purpose-built design that delivers the strength, leverage, and control needed to handle powerful fish on heavy braid. The carbon slick butt provides a modern, durable finish with a smooth surface for easy maintenance, while the shrink rubber foregrip delivers a comfortable, secure hold during extended battles with large fish.

A gimbal butt allows for better rod control and leverage when fighting a catch from a rod holder or fighting belt, and the sturdy Fuji reel seat locks your conventional reel securely in place even under the strain of a sizeable striper or surf species. Heavy-duty guides handle 30–100 lb braid without issue. Available in 6'6" Heavy and 7'0" Medium-Heavy and Heavy.
