The Daiwa Wilderness fishing rod range transforms travel rod choices with expert craftsmanship in an ultra-portable form. Harnessing innovative Multi-Piece V-Joint technology, these 4-5 section rods pack down remarkably small to take hard-fighting performance anywhere.
Across the range, Daiwa Wilderness Travel rods showcase blanks engineered from Daiwa's lightweight yet powerful high-volume fibre resin for an even lighter, crisper, more responsive blank. Combine this with features like X45, fuji guides and Daiwa reel seats, and a world of fishing adventure opens.
The newcomer Wilderness X series released in 2023 makes this globetrotter series more accessible, retaining Daiwa's iconic craftsmanship and fish-taming reliability with fresh cosmetics at friendlier price points. Meanwhile, the 2020 original Wilderness models target seasoned travellers demanding ultimate performance.
So, whether stalking barramundi in the tropics or backpacking to remote alpine rivers swarming with hard-charging trout, pack a Daiwa Wilderness travel rod. Experience the innovation of Multi-Piece V-Joint and say goodbye to compromising on power when travelling light. See the full range for sale here at Fishing Tackle Shop.

Daiwa Wilderness Travel Rod Buyer Guide
The Wilderness fishing rod range offers travel-friendly performance for all scenarios - from finessing bream on light lines to battling barramundi, cod, and jacks on heavy gear. With various actions available in spin and baitcast configurations, we've compiled this buyer's guide overview of the different models to help anglers select the perfect Wilderness rod.
Ultra-light/Light Wilderness Rods - Anglers specialising in finesse tactics for bream, trout, whiting, and other ultra-light sport fishing will appreciate the ultra-light and light-fast actions available. These provide the ultimate sensitivity for detecting subtle bites while optimised to cast tiny lures and baits great distances on light lines.
Medium/Medium-Heavy Wilderness Rods - A medium-fast or medium-fast wilderness rod excels for exceptional performance on bigger fish in lakes, rivers and estuaries. Anglers targeting species like flathead, bass, tailor, and yellowbelly will benefit from these powerful yet balanced actions for casting various presentations with excellent fish-fighting leverage.
Heavy Wilderness Rods - Heavy, fast Wilderness models shine when dealing with snaggy structures inhabited by powerful predators. Purpose-built for placing heavy lures right next to timber, rock walls or wrecks to hook trophy barramundi, murray cod and mangrove jacks, their brute strength also comes into play when battling fish from these sticky spots.
XX-Heavy Wilderness Rods - With incredible cranking power to wrestle giants away from the heaviest cover, the XX Heavy fast action models take on your most extreme fishing scenarios.
XX-Heavy has no equal for the most intense battles. Pulling in powerful fish like trevally, queenfish, and Murray cod from great depths where other gear would fail is best supported by an XX-Heavy model.
What are the main differences between the 2020 Wilderness rods and the new Wilderness X series?
The 2020 models use Daiwa's premium V-Joint Alpha system, HVF Nanoplus blanks, and Fuji Alconite guides for unmatched sensitivity and performance. The X series uses more standard technology like HVF blanks and aluminium oxide guides to reach a lower price point.
Is it worth paying extra for the 2020 Wilderness rods over the X series?
For many anglers, yes. The original Wilderness series invests in craftsmanship and innovation that delivers on every cast and every fish fight. Daiwa's V-Joint Alpha system transmits shocking levels of sensitivity and power through the ultra-light HVF Nanoplus blanks.
Combined with Fuji's benchmark Alconite guides, you unlock the full potential and refined technique for technical situations and hard-fighting fish. It's a purity of performance that seasoned travelling anglers dream of.
While the X series uses capable components, the 2020 Wilderness is a class apart. These rods blend cutting-edge tech with fine attention to detail that proves itself repeatedly when hooked into that fish of a lifetime. So, while the X series provides great, affordable performance, serious globetrotting anglers will feel the difference and consider the original Wilderness rods well worth the premium. It's your call on what level of refinement suits your style.

The business as a whole started back in 2001 as Fishing Aqua Pet, a small retail Fishing Tackle, Aquarium and Pet store run by proprietor Ben Czulowski
In 2006 the pet and aquarium side of the business was dissolved and we focused just on the Fishing / Water sport side of the business renaming our trading name to Ocean Storm Fishing Tackle.
2005-2006 were slow beginnings online as I created my online store by myself from scratch. I received a small amount of orders per week but in 2007 saw our business explode to a new level after we passed the first few initial years of teething. I also expanded our product range to several thousand products most of which are stocked items ready to ship.
In 2012 I opened a massive warehouse store and have expanded our online fishing store into an online camping store also as well as offering for sale boating bits, soft surfboards and a whole lot more.
Today Ocean Storm has grown to the level of processing tens of thousands of orders a year and have built up a huge level of trust and confidence with our customers.
