The Daiwa SALTIST series represents a new standard in saltwater baitcasting rods, meticulously engineered for anglers seeking exceptional performance and versatility in various saltwater fishing scenarios.
Design and Construction
Each rod in the SALTIST series is crafted with high-density HVF (High Volume Fiber) carbon, reducing excess resin and increasing carbon fiber density. This results in a more muscular and powerful rod, ideal for handling the rigors of saltwater fishing.
The incorporation of Daiwa's X45 technology involves wrapping the rod blank with a ±45° bias cross of carbon fibers. This design effectively prevents twisting during casting, action, hooking, and fighting, significantly enhancing power, operability, and sensitivity.
Additionally, the V-Joint technology utilizes a bias-structured carbon sheet at the rod joints, delivering a seamless bend akin to a one-piece rod. This innovation improves power, resilience, and recovery speed, contributing to an ideal rod action.
Features

Air Sensor Reel Seat: Constructed with carbon fiber, the Air Sensor Seat offers lightweight, high-strength, and high-sensitivity characteristics. Tailored to the rod's specific application, it provides unparalleled operability compared to generic reel seats.
-
Grip Design: The grip settings are optimized for each model, emphasizing agility and comfort. Models like the 80XXHB feature a front support grip for enhanced handling during intense battles.
