The Daiwa Saltiga Jigging Conventional Rod is a true custom-quality saltwater rod, with a look and feel all its own. It utilizes the latest advances in blank construction to generate a small-diameter rod that's lighter, stronger, and more sensitive than any standard graphite rod. The HVF Nanoplus carbon-fiber blank is crafted with a reinforcing exoskeleton of interwoven 3DX hexagonal fibers plus advanced nano-resin control technology, yielding a slender rod with exceptional power. The construction process incorporates X-45 Bias technology to eliminate blank twist and deliver maximum straight-line force. Daiwa has fitted this rod with light, durable Fuji Fazlite Tangle-Free K-guides for smooth-flowing sensitivity, an exclusive ergonomic hooded reel seat, and their Custom Dimple EVA Handle split grip design to ensure a secure, slip proof grip for extended jigging.
