Daiwa Saltiga C 81-5 — Engineered for those who fish to push limits.
The Daiwa Saltiga C 81-5 Spinning Stickbait Rod is purpose-built for serious anglers chasing trophy-class sportfish. Every inch of this powerhouse rod has been engineered for precision, power, and pure casting performance.
At its core lies Daiwa’s X45X Full Shield carbon technology, a next-generation blank design that dramatically boosts torsional stiffness. This means less twist, more stored energy, and explosive casting distance with every flick of the wrist. When you load the rod, that stored power is unleashed cleanly and efficiently—sending your lure flying further and truer than ever before.
When it’s time to work your lure, the Saltiga’s X45X construction keeps the blank perfectly stable, ensuring every pulse and sweep is transferred directly into your stickbait or popper for lifelike, effortless action.
Equipped with Fuji stainless steel SiC guides and reversed stripper guides, the Saltiga delivers superior line flow and durability under extreme pressure. A heavy-duty Fuji reel seat with locking nut ensures your reel stays rock-solid, no matter how big the fight gets.
