Suitable for use in fresh and salt water, Long Range rods have light, well-balanced and comfortable blanks that limit the fatigue often felt with rods of this length.
The versatility of this Dark Player rod will fully satisfy your search for new fish using surface lures or medium-sized minnows. Responsive, sensitive, and precise, this Dark Player features an Extra Fast action that is highly effective for fishing with soft plastic lures using a bottom-bouncing or straight retrieve. The DPSLR 8102 M+ can also be used to work metal lures such as blades, casting jigs, spinnerbaits, or medium-sized bladed jigs.
This versatile rod was constructed in two equal sections to minimize its size, making it easier to transport and store. Its reinforced ferrule was crafted with ultra-precise precision to guarantee exceptional strength and smooth action, optimizing the qualities of its blank, made from Japanese Torayca carbon.
Alconite, or reinforced aluminum oxide, is the third-best material on FUJI's quality scale for the ceramic ring construction. It's just behind SiC in terms of thermal conductivity, sensitivity, smoothness, and abrasion resistance. It also offers excellent resistance to braid friction.
The polished steel frame is rustproof and offers excellent resistance to marine corrosion. Fuji Alconite is a component frequently used on mid- to high-end rods. Always at the forefront of innovation, Sakura offers you the benefit of Fuji's technological advancements with the use of the new "K" series guides, which are part of the KR Concept guide mounting system.
The development of these guides has resulted in an exceptional frame profile that eliminates any risk of line tangles during casting. Featured on all our Dark Player rods, the FUJI Alconite guides will provide superior security and comfort in all conditions.
Dark Player spinning rods are all equipped with ergonomic reel seats that ensure a secure hold on the reel and guarantee great user comfort. The rod's precise grip allows you to cast and maneuver without muscle fatigue.
Compact and very dense, the EVA foam used on our rods ensures a comfortable grip regardless of weather conditions and perfectly transmits the vibration messages sent by your lure or by a fish that has taken a close interest in it.
