The HERMIT C64L-SV ST is a premium grip-joint finesse baitcasting rod from DAIWA’s 2021 flagship STEEZ bass series, built for micro-lure finesse tactics targeting pressured clear-water bass.

Its 90g ultra-light full carbon blank with fast taper delivers outstanding tip sensitivity to detect subtle soft-plastic bites, while mild rear backbone delivers gentle, secure hooksets without tearing small bass lips.

Adopting exclusive grip-joint construction, it maintains the seamless blank feel of a full single-piece rod, yet shortens collapsed transport length to 165cm for easy vehicle storage.

Weighing only 90g for a 1.93m blank, it greatly reduces wrist fatigue during all-day finesse fishing sessions.

Fast ultra-fine tip clearly transmits faint nibbles from tiny soft baits, and balanced mid-section power prevents over-pulling wary lake bass.

Calibrated for micro lures of 1.8–11g (1/16–3/8oz), it pairs perfectly with 5–12lb mono/fluorocarbon lines, ideal for drop shot, shaky head, micro jig, wacky rig and all light finesse rigs.
