The reason why there are two items of size #30 is for the excellent casting feel and reliable fishing performance. Daiwas top-of-the-line casting rod, the "TOURNAMENT MASTERISE KISU AGS," has undergone a full model change. Some may find themselves wondering when looking at the specifications table.

The new "TOURNAMENT MASTERISE KISU AGS" lineup has narrowed down to three items, among which there are two models of #30-4.05m rods. Why are there two items with the same product name?

The L at the end of the product code stands for "Long," M stands for "Middle Section," and B stands for "Butt Section." Its evident from the images, but both rods are three-piece telescopic designs with unequal section lengths. The #30-405LM has a longer middle section, while the #30-405LB has a longer butt section.

In typical telescopic casting rods, the sections become thicker from the tip to the butt, and the sections become stiffer. By leveraging this characteristic and maintaining the same material composition, significant changes in section length can create variations in action. In other words, the LM (Long Middle Section) type, with a longer and softer second section, results in a rod with a smoother action in the midsection, while the LB (Long Butt Section) type, with a longer and stiffer butt section, results in a rod with stronger rebound on the butt side.
