Daiwa Saltiga Expedition
Built for anglers who chase the world’s toughest fish, the SALTIGA EXPEDITION is the pinnacle of Daiwa’s multi-piece offshore rod technology. Developed for ultimate transportability without compromising performance, the range has been engineered to match the uncompromising strength of SALTIGA reels, making it the ideal companion for anglers pursuing giant trevally, dogtooth tuna, yellowfin and other bluewater giants across the globe.
At the heart of the range is Daiwa’s premium HVF Nanoplus graphite blank, delivering an exceptional power-to-weight ratio. X45X Full Shield dramatically reduces blank twist under extreme casting and fighting loads, while V-JOINT Alpha creates seamless ferrule transitions that preserve the smooth action, strength and responsiveness of a one-piece rod.
The range comprises two dedicated casting models for stickbaits and poppers, alongside two purposebuilt jigging models engineered to deliver exceptional lifting power and control over deep-water predators. Premium Fuji components provide outstanding durability and corrosion resistance in the harshest saltwater environments.
Designed to pack efficiently into travel tubes and airline luggage, the SALTIGA EXPEDITION performs like a premium one-piece rod while offering the convenience modern travelling anglers demand. Whether exploring tropical atolls, remote reefs or distant bluewater fisheries, it delivers uncompromising performance wherever the next expedition begins.
Features
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.
Complete Control grip changes the design of both the butt & foregrip. The butt is designed at a unique angle, this angle has been optimized at the perfect angle to maximise surface area contact to your body when hooked up. The foregrip features a uniquely shaped trigger imprint to the leading edge, this naturally finds your finger resting perfectly on this trigger when locked into a fight under heavy drag pressures. These small changes in grip design give a real world benefit to the angler in fishing conditions.
Daiwa's new reel seat concept that features a highly palmable design for ulitmate comfort and functionality in both spin, baitcast and overhead reels.
Lighter and stronger than its predessor, V-Joint Alpha features Bias construction that allows the rod joint to flex with the rod to eliminate flat spots and weakness in the ferrule joint.
