DAIWA has released a brand-new range of rods dedicated to jigging and bottom fishing, with the arrival of the 25 Saltiga J rod series.
It’s been a long time since Daiwa released a standalone jigging specific Saltiga series and the wait has been worth it, with a full redesign from the ground up, featuring new technology and features such as Daiwa’s brand-new Power Hold reel seat.
It all starts with the blank, and for the first time in a series like this, Daiwa has implemented SVF Nanoplus carbon. This higher-grade carbon not only makes the rods incredibly lightweight, but those same properties enhance the recovery of the blank.
The most striking feature of the new Saltiga J series is the new Power Hold reel seat which features on the five spinning models. Power Hold offers enhanced comfort, less hand fatigue, and a sturdy connection to your reel. The unique enlarged ‘hoods’ almost totally encase the reel foot, leaving no exposed threads or hoods for your hands and fingers to contact.
Saltiga J series rods are equipped with FUJI Titanium framed SiC guides, reducing the total weight, more-importantly increasing the recovery of the blank to aid in lure action. Fuji GRC gimbal butt caps also feature to allow anglers to use the rods with their favourite gimbal belt.
Daiwa’s newly released ‘Complete Control’ grip concept also features on the foregrip. The unique small moulded trigger on the leading edge of the foregrip offers a sure hold for your index finger to locate, especially under tight drags to prevent your hand from slipping down the rod.
The range features eight models with many Daiwa enthusiasts sure to spot some familiar actions in the line-up. The 25 Saltiga J range of jig rods is a must for your next offshore jigging session.
