Daiwa Saltiga C 85-8 Stickbait Spinning Rod 8ft 5in 160g 2pc

Built to break your record

The Daiwa Saltiga C 85-8 Stickbait Spinning Rod is specifically designed to target hard-fighting sportfish. The core of the new Saltiga is Daiwa’s X45X Full Shield carbon technology. With significant improvements to torsional stiffness of the rod blank, X45X Full Shield means the rods will resist twisting forces, storing more potential energy and ultimately releasing that energy into the cast when the angler lets their finger off the line.

The benefits of X45X Full Shield don’t stop there either, when working lures like poppers or stick baits, the blank’s ability to resist twisting and deformation means every inch of effort you put in is transferred through the blank to make lures swim easier and more efficiently than ever before.

Fuji stainless steel silicon carbide (SiC) guides with reversed stripper guides give the best possible casting performance, and heavy-duty Fuji reel seats with locking nuts secure your chosen reel with confidence.

X45X Full Shield
X45X Full Shield Technology is 25% more efficient than standard X45 technology. With increased torsional stiffness, blanks armed with X45X resist blank twist during casting and jigging. This characteristic prevents the blank from losing stored energy during the cast, ensuring that every bit of force you put into your cast, is transferred through the blank and ultimately to your chosen lure.

HVF Nanoplus
Through the use of nano resin control technology in the blank construction process, Nanoplus allows for increased graphite density to be achieved within a graphite rod blank.

V-Joint
Bias construction within the ferrule allows it to flex with the rod, eliminating the weak, unbending spot caused by ordinary ferrules. The result of this revolutionary technology is a multi-piece blank that matches the performance of one-piece blanks in flex, power and responsiveness.

Fuji Stainless Steel Guides
Light, strong, and highly corrosion resistant, Fuji stainless steel guides are tailor-made for Australia’s harsh conditions.

Fuji SiC Ring
SiC has been the gold standard of guide ring material for over 20 years. Super hard, light, and highly polished and smooth, SiC guides are an excellent dissipater of heat making them ideal for light drags and/or big fish

Fuji Reel Seat
Light, strong and true to the famous brand’s reputation for quality and class, Fuji reel seats deliver on performance and value.
