DAIWA

Daiwa is the world leader and number one in the development, manufacturing, and sales of fishing tackle. Daiwa is a large multinational company operating worldwide. The headquarters and main plant are located in Japan.
Daiwa began its operations in 1958 and is the result of the great vision and immense hard work of the project's founding father, Yoshio Matsui, who established Daiwa Seiko Inc. in Nakano, Tokyo. Originally, the primary focus was on the development and production of reels, but in 1964, rod manufacturing also began in a newly opened plant.
In 1977, Daiwa started producing luxury take-apart rods in its own factory in Wishaw, Scotland. Scotland is a logical location for manufacturing the highest quality rods, as it is one of the few strongholds of European tradition in fishing tackle manufacturing.
