which themselves are nothing particularly special.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As such, you should get this rod when you <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">know<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for a fact that you will not be using it for more than a single season&#8211; regardless of what type of fishing you do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Length\"><b>Length<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As an extremely cheap, budget-friendly baitcasting pole, the Daiwa Laguna provides a decent range of lengths with 6\u2019, 6\u20196\u201d, and 7\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means that you should be able to find a rod that works for whatever waters you want to fish on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The largest waters when casting from the shore or smaller rivers may still present issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Material\"><b>Material<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is arguably one of the areas where the Daiwa Laguna makes its money on more than just the low price.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Specifically, the Daiwa Laguna casting rod uses a combination of graphite and carbon fiber for its blank which significantly increases its sensitivity compared to other materials.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately, this also means that the blank isn\u2019t as strong as other materials and will fare even worse in colder temperatures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though it\u2019s rated IM-6, it\u2019s worth considering whether the graphite undergoes <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">all<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of the hardening processes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reel seat uses stainless steel which will at least help prevent corrosion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, the EVA foam handle isn\u2019t the best material, but it is one of the lightest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Action\"><b>Action<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Daiwa Laguna only comes in a fast action, though this helps provide more accuracy and sensitivity, so it\u2019s worth the tradeoff.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The increase in sensitivity is further enhanced by the materials which make this a fairly sensitive rod.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Power\"><b>Power<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Daiwa Laguna baitcasting rod\u2019s power is definitely one of the more deceptive qualities that can leave you dissatisfied if you don\u2019t know what to expect.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is because this fishing pole comes in medium and medium-heavy power ratings which positions it for an average setting, but that\u2019s not how it plays out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because the rod\u2019s overall durability is not the strongest and the maximum line test is low.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As such, the power needs to be understood within its targeted range, unlike other rods that have more margin for error.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Weight\"><b>Weight<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Daiwa Laguna doesn\u2019t provide its weight, though it advertises a lightweight build, and all of the other information seems to suggest that\u2019s true.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, the use of graphite and carbon fiber not only increases the action and sensitivity but significantly reduces the weight compared to other materials.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On top of that, the handle\u2019s foam material as well as the reduced amount further reduce the expected weight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Sensitivity\"><b>Sensitivity<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By and large, the Daiwa Laguna casting rod\u2019s sensitivity is good&#8211; though that\u2019s not to suggest you can\u2019t quibble about it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The use of graphite and carbon fiber for the blank significantly increases the sensitivity compared to other products comparably priced.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, as mentioned in the materials, the efficacy of the materials may be questionable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Taper\"><b>Taper<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a bit of a head-scratcher as the materials used and the action suggest that the Daiwa Laguna should taper at around the middle point with a slightly deeper bend.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, it\u2019s been reported with more regularity than is preferred that the taper feels stiff and doesn\u2019t bend the same way as other rods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Markings_on_Rod\"><b>Markings on Rod<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As is pretty standard for a budget-friendly baitcasting fishing rod, the Daiwa Laguna doesn\u2019t actually print the rod\u2019s line and lure specs on the blank.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead, this casting rod brands the blank with the make and model.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the positive side, it does come in a striking color scheme with stylized text.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Rod_Guides\"><b>Rod Guides<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Daiwa Laguna\u2019s rod guides are made of aluminum oxide, as mentioned earlier, which is great at helping prevent the line from tangling&#8211; perfect for beginners who may not know how to cast.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, braided lines will inevitably cut through these guides, though you likely wouldn\u2019t need it with the weight limit anyway.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Handle_material_shape_etc\"><b>Handle (material, shape, etc)<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Daiwa Laguna baitcasting pole makes up some of its money with an EVA foam handle that is also split.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This can be a bit challenging in less than ideal conditions, but the trigger grip at least allows you to maintain a solid grip in good conditions with the option to add third-party components for better grip.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Type_of_Rod\"><b>Type of Rod<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Daiwa Laguna is a baitcasting rod which means that the reel is seated on top of the rod and the guides run along the top of the rod, as opposed to both being positioned underneath.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This arrangement makes the casting pole designed more for beginners and experts than the overwhelming majority in between.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That said, because the Daiwa Laguna\u2019s overall construction is not the sturdiest, experts will likely prefer paying more for a better-performing rod.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, children are far less likely to be able to push the pole beyond its limits whether they want to or not, so the value tends to stick.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Reel_and_Real_Seat_Compatibility\"><b>Reel and Real Seat Compatibility<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As mentioned prior, the baitcasting arrangement of the Daiwa Laguna fishing pole situates the reel on top of the rod which allows spincasting and baitcasting reels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s worth noting that this arrangement plays against the rod\u2019s weakness by placing all of the pressure on the rod instead of the guides.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Warranty\"><b>Warranty<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Daiwa Laguna baitcasting fishing pole comes with Daiwa\u2019s standard 2-year warranty for all of their rods, but that is a bit more dubious than you might believe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is because a warranty is only as good as your ability to cash it in, and as you will see in the next section, that can be easier said than done.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Customer_Service\"><b>Customer Service<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is arguably the point where the whole deal may come crashing down and ultimately reduce the Daiwa Laguna\u2019s value to the point that it\u2019s still not worth it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As has been already covered, you either really need to know what you\u2019re doing with this rod or not care about it at all.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Part of the reason for this is because if the rod breaks, it can be maddeningly difficult to get Daiwa to completely honor the warranty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It also doesn\u2019t help that the technicians will do everything in their power to deny the claim, and it\u2019s almost unheard of for them to replace two defective rods&#8211; though that\u2019s not necessarily out of the realm of possibility to receive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Uses_Who_is_this_good_for\"><b>Uses (Who is this good for)<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you break everything down, it can be a bit difficult to identify the Daiwa Laguna\u2019s best use, though a couple immediately come to mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For anyone who is an at all proficient fisherman, there is a good chance that this casting fishing pole doesn\u2019t offer enough performance to satisfy your fishing needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, if you\u2019re a complete beginner or a child, then the Daiwa Laguna is an excellent option that provides a cheap tool to learn (and fail) with.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of the two, this casting pole is probably better suited for children due to its reduced overall durability, since they\u2019ll be less tempted to use it improperly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Conclusion\"><b>Conclusion<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the end, the Daiwa Laguna casting rod comes with some serious warnings and severe limitations compared to high-end poles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, for a single-season fishing pole, you can abuse to your heart\u2019s content and not feel a thing when you throw it away at the end, there are few better.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Granted, you will need to be extremely selective about where you fish and what type of fish you\u2019re trying to catch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fish for a species too big or in a location with too much brush and debris under the water, and you\u2019re liable to find a casting fishing rod that won\u2019t even make it through a single season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, if you\u2019re careful with when and where you use the rod, it\u2019s difficult to find another rod as cheap that provides many <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">good<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> things too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For teaching a child, this casting fishing pole is a great chance to save a bit of money while still teaching them what they <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">should<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> be looking for when the time comes to upgrade.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Casting rods come in all sizes, powers, and actions, but the most important quality about any baitcasting rod is its overall value.
