Overview
The Daiwa Legalis 701HB Boat Overhead Rod is a dependable entry-level heavy boat rod designed for general inshore and light offshore fishing. Measuring 7ft in a one-piece construction, it delivers a strong and responsive action suitable for a wide range of boat-based techniques including straylining, bottom fishing, and bait fishing.
