Daiwa Super 6th Section HS6A

Description

By Gerrys Fishing, the Daiwa Super 6th Section HS6A is an elite-level short section upgrade engineered to dramatically alter the performance, balance, and mechanical response of your Daiwa pole.Following Daiwas proven design principles for short sections, the HS6A replaces the standard No.6 section with a significantly stiffer, abbreviated profile. Although it drops 86cm in raw length compared to the original section, combining it with a Pole Extension (PHEX) restores your full working reach while retaining the incredible structural rigidity gains.Detailed Specifications

• Product Code: HS6A
• Section: Super No. 6 (Short 6th Section)
• Length Drop: -86cm (compared to standard No.6 section)
• Compatibility: Fits all flagship Daiwa UK poles (including Air, Airity, Tournament, Spectron, and Connoisseur series using standard section Mandrels)
• Construction: High-modulus carbon fiber with specialized reinforcement at stress points
• Finish: Diamond Satin non-stick finish for fast, smooth shipping

Where to Use

• Deep Water & Wind-Swept Venues: Eliminates mid-pole sag and bounce when fishing 13m to 16m in harsh crosswinds.
• Commercial Carp Fishing: Handles heavy elastic ratings and high-torque loads when stepping up to aggressive summer commercial tactics.
• High-Speed Silverfish Racing: Perfect when hitting ultra-fast bites at distance, where zero delay in strike transmission is required.
• High-Reach Extensions: Ideal when pairing with a PHEX extension to fish maximum distance with significantly reduced tip weight.

Pro Tip

Combine with a PHEX Mini-Extension: To get the best of both worlds, run the HS6A short section together with your compatible Daiwa PHEX extension. This completely replaces the lost 86cm of reach while keeping the point of balance much closer to your hands, making a 16m pole feel like a 13m setup without sacrificing a single inch of distance.

Frequently Asked QuestionsWill the HS6A section fit my older Daiwa pole?Yes, Daiwa uses a standardized mandrel across their top-tier UK pole ranges. The HS6A fits current models as well as older flagship ranges such as the original Airity, Tournament Pro, and Matchwinner series.How does reducing section length increase pole stiffness?Shortening a section reduces the leverage force acting on the carbon joint. By shortening the span by 86cm, the wall flex is drastically reduced, preventing energy loss along the blank during the strike and shipping.Do I need to modify my top kits or other sections to use this?No modifications are necessary. The HS6A is a direct push-over/push-in replacement for your existing No.6 section and connects seamlessly to your No.5 and No.7 sections.
