The Saltist Hyper series receives its first major revamp in many years to present kiwi saltwater anglers with their most advanced and expansive Saltist Hyper range to date.
Continuing the tradition of delivering anglers the perfect balance between value and performance, the 2026 Saltist Hyper series takes a step forward, leveraging many of Daiwa’s advancements in rod technology to elevate the range to a new level of design and performance.
HVF Nanoplus and X45 blank technologies are the foundation of the new range, with the combination resulting in a blank that is light and sensitivity yet able to handle the stresses and loads of saltwater fishing while never compromising performance.
Blank performance and strength are further enhanced with the 2-piece models in the range featuring Daiwa’s V-Joint technology. V-Joint features a bias wrap construction within the ferrule to eliminate weakness and flat spots in the joint. The result is a two-piece rod that’s as strong and acts just like a one-piece.
The new Saltist Hyper range welcomes Complete Control Grips to the line-up, with its unique ‘angler focused’ grip and hold design enhancing the angler’s grip comfort and control. The foregrip features a uniquely shaped trigger that allows the angler’s finger to rest perfectly on the trigger when locked into a fight
Whether its throwing stickbaits or jigging for kingfish, or softbaiting and baitfishing for snapper, there’s a 26 Saltist Hyper for almost every conceivable mission.

- Designed for demanding New Zealand saltwater fishing

Technologies:
X45
Daiwa's X45 carbon construction helps reduce blank twisting under load, improving rod strength, responsiveness and casting/control performance. Daiwa lists X45 as one of the foundation technologies of the new Saltist Hyper blank.
HVF NANOPLUS
High Volume Fibre carbon construction uses a higher ratio of carbon fibre with reduced resin content, while Nanoplus technology further improves resin performance. This produces a blank designed to be lightweight and sensitive while retaining the strength required for saltwater fishing. Daiwa NZ
V-JOINT
Daiwa's V-Joint technology uses a bias-wrap construction within the ferrule of two-piece models, helping eliminate weak points and flat spots so the joined rod behaves more like a one-piece blank. Daiwa NZ
COMPLETE CONTROL GRIP
An angler-focused grip system designed to improve comfort and control. The foregrip incorporates a uniquely shaped trigger that provides a natural resting point for the angler's finger when locked into a fight.
