Daiwa Saltiga SJ 2025

Slow jigging is an addictive form of fishing, and it requires specific tackle to get the most out of this super effective method. Daiwa’s new SALTIGA SJ rods have been developed jointly between Daiwa Japan engineers & Daiwa Australia product managers to create a series of dedicated slow jigging rods that stand out from the rest. Premium Japanese technology, components & blank design, and specialised Australian designs, actions & tapers makes these the best slow jigging rods Daiwa Australia has ever released.

A good slow jigging rod starts with the blank, high-elasticity SVF NANOPLUS graphite has been used to produce quick recovery blanks. This high-end graphite gives the blank more rebound, allowing the rod to work the jig quicker & allowing the angler to input smaller more refined movements for maximum jig control.

A new slow jigging specific ZERO SEAT has been developed specifically for this series of rods, the larger diameter is suitable for both conventional overhead reels from 10-35 size and also low-profile baitcast style reels from 150-400.

The new ZERO SEAT is supremely comfortable, and shapes to the anglers hands easily improving comfort for long jigging sessions & heavy drags.

Daiwa’s Complete Control (CC) grip design has also been adopted for this series, and features both on the foregrip & butts of the spinning models and the butts of the overhead models and gives the angler increased comfort & control over the rod during the fight.

Fuji Titanium Framed SiC guides outfit the blanks and feature double-foot construction all the way through the tip, this gives the SALTIGA SJ rods superb durability with the extra leg preventing damaged guides from heavy long fluorocarbon leaders being wound through the tip guides when retrieving your jig.

If you want to elevate your jigging, there is simply no better than the new SALTIGA SJ rods, available from PE2 through to PE5 models in both overhead & spinning.
