Overview
The Daiwa VIP 56 Deep Bent Butt PE6–10 is a heavy-duty offshore deep-drop rod designed for serious game fishing and vertical fishing applications in demanding New Zealand conditions. Measuring 5ft 6in in a one-piece bent butt configuration, it is built on a tough E-Glass blank engineered for maximum durability, shock absorption, and lifting power when targeting large deep-water species. The rod features a sensitive tip section for bite detection at depth, a shock-absorbing mid-section for sustained pressure, and a powerful butt section designed to control and lift heavy fish under extreme load. Fitted with Fuji corrosion-resistant O-ring guides, a robust reel seat, and Daiwa’s triangular Powerlift EVA grip, the VIP 56 Deep is purpose-built for comfort and leverage during long battles. Rated for PE6–10 (approx. 60–100lb class), it is ideal for electric reel fishing and deep-drop missions targeting hapuka, bass, bluenose, and other hard-fighting bottom dwellers.
