The Back Bay series of rods were designed and tested using the harsh and sometimes unforgiving conditions of East Coast Back Bay fishing. These spinning rods were engineered with East Coast fishing in mind and then made versatile enough to crossover into many other markets. Rods were designed with heavier power ratings to excel at both live bait fishing and casting lures. If you are in the market for a series of dedicated inshore rods designed and tested for fishing the back bays, then you owe yourself a look at Daiwa's all new Back Bay series rods.
