LIVE LIFE IN THE OUTDOORS
SPINNING REEL
MONOCOQUE BODY
to anglers on multiple fronts. Delivering the holy grail of lighter and more compact, whilst also delivering improvements in strength and weather sealing at the same time.
MONOCOQUE DESIGN
Monocoque (MQ) reels do away with the use of this two-piece design, instead replacing the sideplate with a large direct screw-in engine plate. This design nullifies the need for the screws and therefore, the extra material required on the main frame for a threaded hole to accept the screw. Monocoque bodies are therefore more compact than their traditional counterparts, and as a result of that design the size of drive gear which can be installed is maximised.
BENEFITS OF MONOCOQUE
Benefits of the engine plate design is the removal of a lot of potential entry points for water and debris into the main gearbox of the spinning reel. By removing the sideplate and therefore the area where the sideplate and the frame meet, along with the 3-4 screw holes, MQ reels are much more sealed to the elements than a normal sideplate equipped spinning reel.
Briefly mentioned above, a benefit of maximising the internal space by removing the screws and necessary material, the drive gear size of MQ reels is maximised. Larger drive gears provide reels with increased power and torque, which translates to a feeling of effortless power to the angler. The increased torque of the gear also means the gear is more efficient, which in turn also translates to a longer lasting gear since it isn’t under as much stress for the same power output.
Monocoque (MQ) reels exhibit functional benefits the angler can feel on multiple fronts, reels that are both lighter and smaller than previous models, making them more comfortable to fish. Also delivering benefits of being more powerful, easier to wind under load and better sealed to the outside elements.
If you haven’t tried a Monocoque (MQ) reel for yourself, pick one up and give it a spin, you won’t be disappointed.

ZAION/ZAION V
Daiwa’s new AIRDRIVE DESIGN is based on a four pillar design concept.
•Airdrive Rotor
•Airdrive Bail
•Airdrive Spool
•Airdrive Shaft
AIRDRIVE DESIGN reduces weight, and enhances rotational smoothness and responsiveness to create a reel that is next level in both form and function. Take a leap into the future with Daiwa’s brand new spinning reel concept.
MAGSEALED protection is no longer just for the main shaft and rotor of a reel with MAGSEALED Ball Bearings providing ultimate protection for the most at risk location such as the engine sideplate and line roller.
ZAION
A high-density resin and carbon material, ZAION resists corrosion, and exceeds the strength of traditional reel body materials such as magnesium and alloy. This rigid yet lightweight material is utilised in both reel bodies and Daiwa’s innovative rotor designs.
ATD/ATD TYPE L
Daiwa’s ATD (Automatic Tournament Drag) uses an improved drag grease that exhibits a low viscosity at rest. This reduces initial drag start-up inertia resulting in a smoother drag from the initial hook up.
Daiwa’s innovative AIR BAIL features a hollow tubular stainless steel bail that delivers maximum rigidity and strength with minimum weight. Line easily slides along the AIR BAIL towards the line roller for trouble free line control.
Ultimate protection is delivered to the engine room of the reel with a magnetised oil seal located on the main shaft of the reel’s rotor shutting the door to the elements and unwanted intruders. Dust, water, and salt intrusion into the inner workings of a reel are a thing of the past with MAGSEALED technology.
ZAION V
One of the hardest working and exposed areas of a spin reel is protected with a MAGSEALED barrier shutting out the elements for optimum line roller bearing protection, performance and longevity.
Lighter, stronger reels. The carbon hybrid resin material ZAION V is created by precisely controlling the amount of hybrid carbon in the mix. It achieves a weightlessness that surpasses metals whist maintaining a strength comparable to metal, and has the versatility to be mounted on many reels. It inherits the essence of the original ZAION, which can be said to be the MAX specs of carbon hybrid resin.
TWISTBUSTER II/III
AIR ROTOR
Twistbuster is Daiwa’s exclusive line-twist reduction system that features a tapered line roller to reduce line twisting. Twistbuster is perfect for both nylon and braided lines providing anglers with perfect line management .
AIR ROTOR delivers a great leap forward in rotor design and function. Made from Alloy/Zaion/Zaion V, AIR ROTOR features a redesigned arch that disperses pressure, reduces weight and increases rotational balance of the reel.
TOUGH DIGIGEAR
LC-ABS
A further evolution of its predecessor Digigear, Tough Digigear is our digitally designed gearing system that ensures ultimate gear precision, rotational smoothness, and strength.
Compared to conventional spools, the LC-ABS has been shown to increase the average flight distance by approx. 5% due to its reduced weight and modified shape. LCABS Spool Tech grants anglers a premium casting experience.
AIR BAIL
22 EXIST
The foundation of the 22 Exist’s design is Daiwa’s new Airdrive Design, a four pillar (Airdrive Rotor, Airdrive Bail, Airdrive Spool, and Airdrive Shaft) design concept that reduces weight, and enhances rotational smoothness and responsiveness to create a reel that is next level in both form and function.
The new Airdrive Rotor and Airdrive Airbail combine to reduce weight at the top of the reel to improve rotational smoothness and start up speed. These design benefits are further enhanced thanks to the Exist’s new weight-saving, optimally balanced Airdrive Spool.
The last of the four key features of Airdrive Design, Airdrive Shaft, features a low contact structure between the mainshaft and pinion resulting in improved rotational smoothness.
Daiwa’s Airdrive Design concept combines with proven Daiwa technologies including Monocoque Body, Magseal, Tough Digigear, ATD, and Twistbuster, to deliver anglers their most advanced Exist reel ever.
Lighter, smoother, more balanced and free flowing than ever before the 22 Exist delivers the future in the angler’s hands.
The SUPER FINESSE ‘SF’ concept EXIST is the lightest spinning reel Daiwa has ever created. A smaller body unit has been developed to reduce the overall size & weight of the reel. A more compact short stroke spool further works to reduce the reel size & weight.

23 AIRITY
Truly living up to the name of AIRITY, the newest model is officially Daiwa’s lightest ever traditional spinning reel. With the introduction of AIRDRIVE DESIGN, 23 AIRITY breaks the 150g barrier to deliver never before seen levels of refinement. AIRDRIVE DESIGN incorporates all four elements to deliver a reel which enables precision control from the angler.
AIRDRIVE ROTOR is the most noticeable difference in 23 AIRITY with the flowing lines and smooth design of the new rotor delivering lighter start-up inertia and fluid reeling even under heavy loads. AIRDRIVE BAIL is a one-piece tubular hollow bail arm which has evolved from Daiwa’s original AIR BAIL design. AIRDRIVE BAIL is lighter and thinner than previous models, further improving start-up inertia and to deliver truly refined reeling. AIRDRIVE SPOOL has also been installed and still incorporates Daiwa’s famous Longcast ABS spool lip, but is now lighter than before, reducing the force required from the oscillation system to move the spool up & down, which in turn results in a lower resistance when retrieving.
Finally, AIRDRIVE Shaft is hidden inside the MQ body and is double supported by special collars inside the pinion gear, this further reduces friction and minimises power loss through the drive train of the reel. Ensuring that all that effort you put in is transferred to line back on your spool in an intense fight. The MONOCOQUE (MQ) body remains from the previous model, crafted from a single piece of treated Magnesium, the MQ body of 23 AIRITY is incredibly light & supports a TOUGH DIGIGEAR drive system which is both forged and machined from a high-strength alloy to deliver smooth & reliable performance for years to come.
There is no doubt that 23 AIRITY is one of the most refined fishing reels DAIWA has ever produced, and is available in a range of sizes from 2000-5000 to suit a host of both freshwater, light-tackle & inshore fisheries throughout Australia.

23 SALTIGA
23 SALTIGA represents the pinnacle of DAIWA engineering progress over the past decade, and features every bit of technology to make the new SALTIGA the best mid-size saltwater spin reel DAIWA has ever produced. For the first time in a true heavy-duty saltwater reel AIRDRIVE DESIGN is debuted. As was the case with the introduction of AIRDRIVE DESIGN with 22 EXIST, lower start-up inertia was the goal. By redeveloping the shape of the rotor assembly, DAIWA engineers were able to both reduce the weight & maintain the strength, a key consideration for a reel with a pedigree of strength & reliability like SALTIGA.
AIRDRIVE DESIGN doesn’t stop there, DAIWA also totally reengineered the bail assembly of 23 SALTIGA, with a distinct new shape, the bail arm maintains it’s hollow tubular stainless steel structure, but is now thinner and lighter than before. The new shape guides the line perfectly into the roller, which has also been redesigned with the implementation of TWISTBUSTER III to reduce line twist even more. All of these features are built upon DAIWA’s renowned Monocoque (MQ) body, a solid one-piece aluminium body which enables the fitment of a much larger drive gear, increasing torque & power. It also makes the reel much more impervious to the elements, further sealing the gearcase from saltwater ingress.
DAIWA’s MAGSEAL technology in both forms are also equipped, with a MAGSEAL above the pinion gear to stop water ingress from above, and MAGSEAL BEARINGs installed each side of the drive gear to prevent ingress from the handle or handle screw cap.
There’s no doubting the importance of a true saltwater mid-size spinning reel in Australian conditions, and the new 23 SALTIGA is the best DAIWA has ever produced. Whether you’re looking for a new spin reel for offshore soft plastics, slow jigging or casting surface lures over shallow reef flats, the new 23 SALTIGA will be the pinnacle reel in the DAIWA lineup.

24 CERTATE SW
Built upon the formidable foundations of 23 SALTIGA, the new 24 CERTATE SW features a ZAION AIRDRIVE ROTOR decreasing winding resistance & reducing the weight. The new ZAION rotor is what sets it apart from SALTIGA, but it’s what it shares with SALTIGA that makes this reel so suited to Australia’s harsh conditions.
It all begins with a solid one-piece aluminium monocoque (MQ) body, housing an oversize G1 Duralumin drive gear for increased winding power, strength & gear durability. The MQ body eliminates flex & twisting and improves weather sealing thanks to the one-piece construction with no seams or screws to hold a side plate on.
24 CERTATE SW’s new ZAION AIRDRIVE ROTOR minimises weight by 10g over that of the SALTIGA’s aluminium rotor, which further reduces winding resistance, making CERTATE SW an incredibly low inertia reel.
The focus of AIRDRIVE DESIGN is to lower the start-up inertia of the reels rotation, so when you begin winding the handle it feels easy & light, without any resistance. The newly shaped rotor also minimises line trouble by blending smooth curves & seamless joins to avoid any possibility of line being caught in windy conditions. AIRDRIVE BAIL also features on 24 CERTATE SW, and the hollow tubular stainless steel bail has been brought across from 23 SALTIGA to aid in perfect line flow into the new TWISTBUSTER III line roller to minimise line twist.
24 CERTATE SW is now available from 4000-6000 sizes in both H & XH ratios. The addition of the 4000 size now puts it firmly in the limelight for a workhorse snapper reel, barramundi or other heavy-duty fishing which doesn’t require high line-capacity of heavy PE line.
CERTATE SW
For many inshore & light tackle anglers across Australia, Daiwa’s Certate reel has been the gold-standard of compact but strong spinning reel design. Certate SW continues that tradition, evolving Certate into a realm of its own. Now available from 5000-18000 size, Certate is ready to tackle all species from fresh to salt across the globe.
Certate SW shares it’s Monocoque body (MQ) with the famous 20 Saltiga which houses the incredibly large G1 Duralumin drive gear, also shared with the 20 Saltiga.
Equipped with Daiwa’s ZAION rotor design, Certate SW is lightweight and strong and delivers up to 40 grams of weight saving when compared to 20 SALTIGA. The rotation of Certate SW is incredibly light & responsive.
Certate SW comes equipped with a Magsealed line roller and Magseal body, which combined with the MQ construction means that Certate SW is supremely well sealed to the elements, giving anglers the confidence that Certate SW will not let them down.
Certate SW’s multi-layer carbon drag delivers ten times increased drag durability compared to 16 Catalina. The new washer design combined with the aluminium radiation drag knob increases heat dissipation improving drag performance under heavy load.
High speed models (8000-18000) come equipped with a soft-touch higrip egg shaped knob which delivers grip and comfort for the sweeping motions of working a surface lure. Slow speed models have an EVA Power Round Knob suitable for the up & down working of vertical jigs. All 5000-6000 size models feature an EVA Power Round Knob.
Certate SW has been redesigned combining the best parts of the 19 Certate LT and 20 SALTIGA to produce one of the most exciting reel releases in years.

BAITCASTING REEL
HYPERDRIVE DESIGN
HYPERDRIVE DESIGN is a brand new concept incorporating multiple aspects of technology in reel design to deliver a baitcast reel with few peers. It consists of four key pillars:
HYPERDRIVE DIGIGEAR is the next evolution of baitcast gear design, taking Daiwa’s Digigear concept to the next level to produce a smoother and stronger reeling sensation with a significant 60% improvement to gear durability.
HYPER DOUBLE SUPPORT improves the support of the pinion gear. This support in turn helps to extend gear life and increase winding power under load.
HYPER TOUGH CLUTCH is a redeveloped thumb bar design which is more durable and stronger than previous variations.
HYPER ARMED HOUSING is the use of Magnesium or Aluminium frame and gear side plate design which holds everything in perfect alignment.
Daiwa’s HYPERDRIVE DESIGN brings a new generation of baitcaster to the anglers of today with unparalleled rigidity, strength and smoothness.
Daiwa’s revolutionary TWS (T-Wing System) addresses the issue of traditional line guide/level wind systems constricting line flow by delivering a T-shaped line guide that is larger, wider and less restrictive. TWS allows line to exit freely from the spool with minimal line angle, minimal friction and constriction, thereby reducing line noise and backlash, and delivering more accurate and longer casts.
MAGSEALED protection is no longer just for the main shaft and rotor of a reel with MAGSEALED Ball Bearings providing ultimate protection for the most at risk location such as the engine sideplate and line roller.
Daiwa’s Hyper Long Cast super-tuned cast control system has been designed for optimum casting performance with the spool rotor modified to minimise rotor braking to maximise spool rotation and casting distance of heavier lures and baits.
Daiwa’s ATD (Automatic Tournament Drag) uses an improved drag grease that exhibits a low viscosity at rest. This reduces initial drag start-up inertia resulting in a smoother drag from the initial hook up.
A high-density and lightweight carbon resin material, ZAION resists corrosion, and exceeds the strength of traditional reel body materials such as magnesium and alloy.
The SV CONCEPT spool was designed to prevent backlashing and promote easy casting whether it is a lightweight lure or heavier big bait lure. The SV Spool is composed of G1Duralumin material with a diameter of 34mm for a much faster rotation and greater strength. SV CONCEPT with its lightweight spool and high precision design improves spool rotation and braking.
BOOST is a brand-new two-braking system which significantly increases casting distance in the latter part of the casting sequence. The twostage design delivers the precise amount of braking resistance at each stage of the cast.
COMPACT TOUGH-CT compact body has been achieved by equipping a new 30/32mm diameter CT SV spool. The CT SV spool which has very low start-up inertia has realised a feel in the cast that surpasses reels of the past, covering the range of finesse applications as well as versatile.
Ultra smooth low drag inertia with ultimate fish stopping power. UTD combines advanced carbon washers, alloy and stainless steel drag plates with specially designed grease for ultra-smooth performance.
Magforce combines the best aspects of modern magnetic and centrifugal braking. Reels are easily tuned to cast a large range of weights with ease simply by adjusting the Magforce dial on the side of the reel.
A further evolution of its predecessor Digigear, Tough Digigear is our digitally designed gearing system that ensures ultimate gear precision, rotational smoothness, and strength.
Unlike some baitcaster spools that have the spool supported by the pinion gear and drive shaft, Speed Shaft is solely supported by bearings. This allows for friction free spool rotation and optimum casting performance.

24 STEEZ SV TW
STEEZ has a long history as a part of Daiwa, a premium flagship brand for bass fishing equipment.
Debuting ULTIMATE CASTING DESIGN, bringing the perfect cast into reality. To realise the ultimate casting design, it was necessary to align four key elements, and take each of those to the limit.
The four pillars of ULTIMATE CASTING DESIGN are Daiwa’s famous MAGFORCE + Variable Inductor, TWS T-Wing System, Zero Adjust & G1 Dualumin spool. When all four of these are harmonized, the imagination of perfect casting performance is realised.
Daiwa’s advancements of its braking systems have been under development since the introduction of MAGFORCE braking over 20 years ago. By creating a completely non-contact structure it eliminates all friction allowing the two-stage variable inductor to control the spool’s rotation, enabling performance for lightweight lures, versatile use or super long casting.
Daiwa’s Zero Adjuster has been present for many years. By mastering the main brake (MAGFORCE) Daiwa bait reels now do not need the second stage mechanical brake which applies force to the spool shaft. Now the angler can respond to any setting simply by adjusting the mag dial thanks to ULTIMATE CASTING ZERO ADJUST.
A third generation TWS has been installed, which has seen the shape be adjusted to further increase line flow, enhancing the casting performance benefits of TWS by 4.9%.
A new G1 Duralumin spool is two times stronger than magnesium and 1.3 times as strong as Super Duralumin. This allows Daiwa to create spools which are thin & light, whilst retaining strength.
24 STEEZ is the most advanced and well-rounded STEEZ ever created. The realization of ULTIMATE CASTING DESIGN has created a new benchmark.

ELECTRIC REEL [ DAIWA TECHNOLOGY ]
One hand operation, the JOG Power Lever allows for instant, variable speed, and power adjustment without having to take your hand off the rod. Left hand thumb lever and a right hand lever are available depending on the model of reel. This feature is perfect when you are using your rod and reel handheld instead of in the rod holder.
MAGSEALED BALL BEARING
MAGSEALED protection is no longer just for the main shaft and rotor of a reel with MAGSEALED Ball Bearings providing ultimate protection for the most at risk location such as the engine sideplate and line roller.
Daiwa’s MAG MAX Motor is a new breed of motor, revolutionising smaller electric reel development. The only way to increase the power of an electric motor is to increase the number of coil turns thus increasing the size, increasing the supply voltage or increasing the magnetic force. Daiwa engineers turned to rare earth neodymium magnets to increase the magnetic force and the power of MAG MAX Motors.
A system that combines ultra smooth low inertia with ultimate fish stopping power. UTD (Ultimate Tournament Drag) combines advanced carbon washers, alloy and stainless steel drag plates with specially designed grease for ultra-smooth performance.
A new two-gear system allows the user to switch between megapower mode and mega speed mode by simply touching a button. This gives anglers greater control to get baits up quick with speed mode and the ability to switch to power mode for fighting big fish.
Daiwa’s ATD (Automatic Tournament Drag) uses an improved drag grease that exhibits a low viscosity at rest. This reduces initial drag start-up inertia resulting in a smoother drag from the initial hook up.

Whether you’re retrieving teasers remotely from the comfort of the tower whilst gamefishing or simply wanting to sit in the captains chair to keep a close eye on the sounder, REMOTE JOG is a game-changer. SEABORG G1800MRJ also features Daiwa’s new electronic drag sound, which emits an audible noise to notify the angler of any drag slipping, another first for a dendoh reel.
Deep drop fishing is becoming increasingly popular as trailer boats become so much more capable with extended range & comfort. Never before has the demand or desire been so high for electric reels to fish our deepest waters. The brand new SEABORG G1800MRJ IRONKING MONSTER is here to dominate the deep, better than ever before.
SEABORG G
Improving Daiwa’s line of SEABORG MJ electric reels is no mere feat. The introduction of MEGATORQUE-G motors heralds a new level of power & durability, and kick-starts the new 3 year/300km motor guarantee due to the improvements made within the motor assembly.
The key component of SEABORG MJ is the Mega Twin system, which enables switching from speed mode to power mode according to the load, and can be set to automatically detect when switching is required. A unique two-speed system enables SEABORG MJ to excel where others simply cannot, whether it’s pulling rigs up quickly with speed mode to reset a drift line, or switching to power mode to get that big bluenose off the bottom, the SEABORG MJ can do it all.
The key component to the new SEABORG MJ is the addition of MEGATORQUE-G motors. Heralding a new guarantee of 3 years/300km, the new motor design is more durable & more powerful than ever before.
The new 24 SEABORG MJ reels also are now Bluetooth compatible, meaning the REMOTE JOG Bluetooth remote (sold separately) can be used to remotely connect and control the reels retrieve and see the line data on the handheld remote.
Available in both an 800 & 1200 size the new SEABORG MJ is suited to both shallow bottom fishing to rip fish from the reef and away from sharks, and also deep-dropping off the shelf for prized table fish.
SEABORG MJ
An evolution in design and performance sees Seaborg step up in class, strength, and power. Featuring a custom motor, Seaborg delivers 1.3 times more power than its predecessor.

23 SEAPOWER
Building off the foundations laid by the new-generation TANACOM. SEAPOWER debuts to offer anglers more power & more torque to truly dominate the deep.
The long-awaited replacement to TANACOM BULL, SEAPOWER is fitted with the same MEGATORQUE motor that features in the popular SEABORG reels, SEAPOWER outputs approximately 1.3 times the power compared to a conventional motor design. MEGATORQUE delivers instantaneous power which is critical when deep drop fishing to remove the bow in the line and get big fish off the bottom quickly.
Sporting the same redesigned frame as TANACOM, the motor is now positioned inside the spool. This enables a more direct drive system with a redesigned planetary gearset featuring much thicker & stronger gears to deliver all that power efficiently to the spool.
Forged clutch lever & aluminium star drag are combined with a higher ball-bearing count for quieter and more efficient performance.
22 TANACOM
Sporting a totally new design incorporating the motor housed inside the spool has given Daiwa engineers the ability to increase the efficiency of the powerful motor, the same reliable unit that’s been used on TANACOM U 1000 in the past.
More power is also accompanied by more speed, a feat often difficult to achieve since a faster retrieve inevitably means lower torque. A side benefit of the new design is an increased line capacity, with 22 TANACOM now boasting a line capacity of PE8/1000m for a 1200 size and PE6/800m for a 800 size.
The Dot Monitor LCD screen has also been improved, with a brighter display and better viewing angles when wearing polarised sunglasses.

A combination guide train is again used in the form of Fuji Titanium framed SiC guides for the largest 3 stripper guides, transitioning to Daiwa’s AGS carbon framed guides on the tip to save weight & increase performance. Finally, on certain models, Daiwa’s MEGATOP solid tip technology produces a solid graphite tip section which enables increased bite detection whilst exerting no pressure on the fish, perfect for timid bites & delicate offerings.
The INFEET Z range is arguably the best value rod you can get when looking for top-tier performance without the top-tier price tag. The new model, receives multiple upgrades for 2023. A brand-new SVF Nanoplus graphite blank adorned with X45X Full Shield technology is used throughout the entire length of the blank, reducing the twisting forces applied to the blank.
Equipped with a combination guide train made obvious with the changing colours of the thread wrapping. The largest guides bound in black are stainless steel framed Fuji SiC guides, and when the thread wraps change to white/orange this indicates the upgrade to Titanium framed SiC guides for a significant weight reduction on the tip.
This weight reduction increases sensitivity and improves overall balance. Daiwa’s AIRSENSOR Neo-Traditional reel seat is a signature of the INFEET Z and the new and improved grip structure offers supreme comfort for all-day fishing sessions.
LIGHT TACKLE RODS
23 INFEET S
The initial trio of INFEET light-tackle rods is receiving a refresh, with a total overhaul of the range, enhancing specifications & adding new technologies along the way. The first of the range is INFEET S, the entry-point into the technique specific family and arguably the range that sees the most upgrades from the previous version.
Totally new blanks have been developed which now feature Daiwa’s Nanoplus resin technology, upgrading from HVF to HVF Nanoplus. The addition of Nanoplus is a huge step forward for the series, producing blanks that are physically lighter & stronger than the previous versions.
With some models barely registering above 70 grams on the scales. INFEET S also receives the major update of an AIRSENSOR reel seat, previously used on the flagship INFEET EX models which has further reduced the overall weight. Fuji Fazlite anti-tangle guides finish off the rods and provide great performance with either braided line or straight through fluorocarbon.

SALTIGA C DOGFIGHT
This is the latest tuna casting rod that embodies Iichiro Sato’s tuna theory. As its name suggests, this rod, named DOGFIGHT (meaning: single fighting), is designed for single fights, and the carefully crafted blank realizes Iichiro Sato’s fighting style of “bending and catching” with a flexible taper and strong restoring power. Furthermore, by combining Iichiro Sato’s know-how with Daiwa technology, the casting distance performance required flighty fish like tuna has been improved.
We hope the new DOGFIGHT will unlock the ability for you to BREAK YOUR RECORD!!
21 SALTIGA C
A dedicated range of offshore casting models, the new range of 21 SALTIGA rods has seven models each catered to its own specific purpose to target hard-fighting sportfish throughout the world.
The core of the new SALTIGA range of rods 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 blank’s ability to resist twisting and deformation means every inch of effort the angler puts in at their end, 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.
A truly dedicated range of topwater casting rods, there is no doubt the new SALTIGA range will put trophies in the boat for anglers all across Australia. Suitable For: Kingfish or tuna down south, to GT and mackerel up north, the new range of SALTIGA casting rods is built to Break Your Record.

Performance leading jigging rod design has a new champion with the SALTIGA LONGFALL.
OFFSHORE RODS
SALTIGA LC / SALTIGA LC AGS
SALTIGA LC ‘Light Casting’ is a flagship series breaking new ground for Daiwa Australia, offering never before seen actions & packed full of the latest & greatest technology. SALTIGA LC rods are an addition to the SALTIGA family, designed & developed specifically for Australia based around feedback from keen inshore & offshore anglers spanning from Sydney to far-northern Queensland.
The key to the SALTIGA LC range is the model line-up, consisting of two shorter, 7’0” rods designed for deep-water plastics. Three 7’5” rods designed for casting plastics for iconic species like Snapper, and finally two ‘Plug Special’ models designed for throwing smaller stickbaits like the SALTIGA OVER THERE for pelagic speedsters like Tuna, Mackeral, Salmon aswell as taming hard pulling species on the reef flats such as Trevally, Emperors and Red Bass.
The signature trait of all SALTIGA LC rods is their incredible lightweight build. Featuring Daiwa’s signature SVF Compile-X Nanoplus graphite, these are the epitome of Daiwa rod technology. SVF Compile-X is incredibly rigid & incredibly low resin content, allowing the blanks to be extremely sensitive & responsive. This graphite is further enhanced using X45X Full Shield, giving resistance to twisting & further aiding in enhanced feel.
A new grip concept dubbed ‘Complete Control’ is debuted in SALTIGA LC. Complete Control grip talks to the design of both the butt & foregrip. The butt grip is designed at a unique angle, this angle has been optimized to be positioned 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.
All three 7’5” models are offered in either a full FUJI Titanium SiC guide train same as other models in the SALTIGA LC family, and also in a full Daiwa AGS carbon guide train further reducing weight & adding sensitivity to detect those critical bites on the drop.

SALTIGA J
One for the offshore enthusiasts, a brand-new SALTIGA range of rods dedicated to jigging & bottom fishing – 25 SALTIGA J.
It’s been a long time since Daiwa released a standalone jigging-specific SALTIGA series and the wait has been worth it, with a full redesign from the ground up, featuring new technology & features like the brand-new POWER HOLD reel seat.
It all starts with the blank, and for the first time in a series like this, Daiwa has implemented SVF Nanoplus carbon. This higher-grade carbon not only makes the rods incredibly lightweight, but those same properties enhance the recovery of the blank. This recovery is important for jigging rods to impart the correct action to jigs with minimal effort from the angler.
The most striking feature of the new SALTIGA J series is the new POWER HOLD reel seat which features on the five spinning models. POWER HOLD offers enhanced comfort, less hand-fatigue and a sturdy grip onto your chosen reel. The unique enlarged ‘hoods’ almost totally encase the reel foot, leaving no exposed threads or hoods for your hands & fingers to contact. In order to equip or remove your reel, the POWER HOLD reel seat bottom hood must be slid down & turned 90 degrees to either side to give enough room to slip in the reel foot.
SALTIGA J series rods are equipped with FUJI Titanium framed SiC guides, reducing the total weight, more-importantly increasing the recovery of the blank to aid in lure action. FUJI GRC gimbal butt caps also feature to allow anglers to use the rods with their favourite gimbal belt.
Daiwa’s newly released ‘Complete Control’ grip concept also features on the foregrip, the unique small molded trigger into the leading edge of the foregrip offers a sure hold for your index finger to locate, especially under tight drags to prevent your hand from slipping down the rod.
Daiwa enthusiasts should recognise some familiar actions and there is sure to be a SALTIGA J to suit your chosen style of heavy saltwater fishing.

A new slow jigging specific ZERO SEAT has been developed specifically for this series of rods, the larger diameter is suitable for both conventional overhead reels from 10-35 size and also low-profile baitcast style reels from 150-400. The new ZERO SEAT is supremely comfortable, and shapes to the anglers hands easily improving comfort for long jigging sessions & heavy drags.
Daiwa’s Complete Control (CC) grip design has also been adopted for this series, and features both on the foregrip & butts of the spinning models and the butts of the overhead models and gives the angler increased comfort & control over the rod during the fight.
Fuji Titanium Framed SiC guides outfit the blanks and feature double-foot construction all the way through the tip, this gives the SALTIGA SJ rods superb durability with the extra leg preventing damaged guides from heavy long fluorocarbon leaders being wound through the tip guides when retrieving your jig.
If you want to elevate your jigging, there is simply no better than the new SALTIGA SJ rods, available from PE2 through to PE5 models in both overhead & spinning.

There is no brand more synonymous with quality than Saltiga. After a long hiatus, Saltiga Surf returns with the introduction of a range of surf rods specifically designed for Australia and our varying requirements all across the country.
Built off a HVF Nanoplus graphite blank utilising the full gamut of Daiwa technology, Saltiga Surf incorporates full 3DX and X45X Full Shield graphite reinforcement throughout the entire blank length. This creates a surf rod with incredible casting distance, thanks to the unmatched responsiveness of the blank. 3DX and X45X enable the rod blank to recover from bent to straight much faster than rods without this technology, which makes Saltiga Surf some of the best distance casting rods available today.
Equipped with a combination guide train of Fuji Lowrider SiC guides on the butt sections and anti-tangle K series guides on the tips. Custom designed Daiwa reel seats, shrink wrap grips and adjustable weight butts finish off the build of what will be the flagship surf rod in the Daiwa range.
Also included in the range is a dedicated ‘Slide’ model built to cater to the everincreasing fishery originating from South Africa. Slide bait fishing involves the use of specifically designed rods using low-mount reel seats and mechanical trigger to cast heavy grapnel sinkers incredibly long distances.
Saltiga Slide 1463 is perfectly suited to sliding for spanish mackerel and other pelagic species, and even smaller sharks and rays.
DRAGGER BREAK THROUGH
The ultimate rock shore rod for challenging your own limits and catching record fish. “BREAKTHROUGH”.
In order to catch bigger fish, Daiwa worked tirelessly on-site with testers to create “stress-free lure operation” (Concept 1), which allows you to keep your lure moving comfortably throughout a day of fishing.
And “overwhelming fighting performance” (Concept 2), which seeks the ability to overpower and control a hooked fish. The development goal was to achieve these two concepts at a high level. The resulting rod has amazing fighting power which opens the door to anglers chasing the ultimate land based game experiences.
CONCEPT 1- Stress-free lure operation
The important thing in shore jigging and casting is to keep manipulating the lure to capitalise on all chance at a bite. Whilst casting from rock ledges large lures and jigs over 100g are often used which can take a toll on the angler. These lures are sometimes sensitive to action, and often you are fighting the tide and waves to lure in the fish. Daiwa carefully considered the tip material and taper from various perspectives, and pursued a smooth taper for load transfer and excellent blank recovery. This has greatly improved the ability for anglers to work lures freely.
CONCEPT 2- Overwhelming fighting performance
In developing the DRAGGER, we carried out a major review of the power ranking of shore jigging rods. DRAGGER “BREAKTHROUGH” is designed to subdue the biggest fish possible and an anglers experience can feel like a literal life and death struggle. In order to control a large fish during an extreme fight, you need a strong butt power in reserve if you need it. “BREAKTHROUGH” has a thicker butt section to ensure even more rod power is available to the angler. This allows you to forcefully stop a violent first run, gain the upper hand from the start, and fight the fish smoothly. It is a rod that does not give anything away to even the largest fish. DRAGGER “BREAKTHROUGH” is made for the anglers willing to put their bodies on the line in pursuit of giants.
SURF/BEACH RODS
DRAGGER SX
“DRAGGER” means “to pull strongly”. The fighting style of shore casting is to tighten the drag to the limit and fight the fish back to the surface. For this extreme fishing, the rod must be trusted with complete confidence. DRAGGER continues to evolves giving anglers the opportunity to seek their limits.
The “SX” series is a high-level rock and shore casting rod that is ideal for those seeking big fish in the wash. There are two development concepts. One is the same as the high-end “BREAKTHROUGH”. High lure operation that allows you to move lures with light force attaining perfect lure presentation. The other is the “SX”’s unique ability to bend in response to the pull of the fish, minimising the strain on the angler and allowing the rod to hold the fish in place without releasing the drag. The “SX” has a completely different character from the powerhouse“BREAKTHROUGH”. The “SX” is the perfect for anglers seeking a forgiving yet powerful rod to subdue large fish.
DRAGGER X / DRAGGER X SLSJ
The DRAGGER X series features durable blanks, reinforced with Braiding X, designed to handle light and heavy lures with ease, even when used for large fish. While increasing power, the rod’s weight has been significantly reduced, so you won’t feel tired even if you keep casting all day, and it is easy to perform lure actions with varying speed. Equipped with K guides, line troubles are greatly reduced. The new standard for an entry level shore jigging rod.
The SLSJ DRAGGER X (Super Light Shore Jigging) models are designed to give anglers the ability to fish lightly with shore jigging techniques allowing more species to be targeted. Featuring lightweight blanks, with excellent power and strength and the ability to cast 30g, the SLSJ rods are the ultimate for finessing fish off the stones.

23 SENSOR SURF
A long-standing part of the Daiwa Australia range, SENSOR SURF has been totally re-developed from the ground up for 2023 and now features more tech & performance than ever before.
The new series incorporates DAIWA’s X45X Full Shield technology for the first time, and it is used throughout the entire length of the blank to maximise it’s affect. X45X Full Shield is the use of bi-axial 45 degree oriented carbon fibre on the outer-most layers of the rod blank, this graphite is used in conjunction with both 0 and 90 degree carbon on the inner layers of the blank to specifically reduce twisting.
Outfitting the 23 SENSOR SURF is a brand-new DAIWA exclusive reel seat, a more comfortable and ergonomic reel seat design which ensures both a secure hold when in use and streamlines the rear of the rod for a slimmer feel. If you’re on the hunt for a premium surf rod with all the bells & whistles, look no further than the brand-new 23 SENSOR SURF range.

SURF/BEACH RODS
SEABORG
Seaborg Dendoh rods offer never before seen performance from a specialised dendoh rod in the Australian market. Leaving no stone unturned in the pursuit of the finest deep drop rods on the market, Daiwa utilised all the best components and technology to make the Seaborg rods worthy of their name.
Fuji stainless steel silicon carbide (SiC) guides offer unmatched heat dissipation, extremely important for extended drops under heavy load. Arguably the most noticeable part of the Seaborg rods is the Winthrop Terminator Adjusta-Butt. An adjustable bent butt which can be positioned straight for easy storage and travel bringing electric reels out of harmful saltwater spray when the boat is underway.
A heavy-duty ALPS swivel tip keeps braided line under control even in heavy seas and makes the Seaborg rods truly some of the best dendoh rods on the market today. If you’re looking for the perfect rod to match to your brand new Seaborg Megatwin electric reel, look no further than the matching Seaborg rods.
Suitable For: Fishing for blue eye cod, hapuka and other deep water species.
SEAPOWER
SEAPOWER sports a blank constructed from Daiwa’s GLATECH material, a combination of a carbon core wrapped perpendicular to the rod blank and longitudinal single axis fibreglass material which gives SEAPOWER the desired soft and shock absorbing nature. Since almost all fights are conducted with the rod in a gunwale rod holder, a softer blank action is desirable for electric rods.
X45X Full Shield is also utilised to further enhance the torsional stiffness, a key component to dendoh rods which further reduces blank twist and eliminates power loss during the fight.
Fuji Silicon Carbide SiC guides in a striking gold finish really set this rod out from the crowd. A heavy-duty ALPS swivelling roller tip controls the line from the tip preventing tangles and ensuring a perfect retrieve. A custom Daiwa bent butt has been designed which was about achieving the perfect length for each model of SEAPOWER rod.
SEAPOWER also boasts the B63-3/4 model which is a specific handheld electric rod designed for use with the newer generation smaller 300 size electric reels which are becoming popular in Australia.
TANACOM Z
A name synonymous with Daiwa electric rods and reels, TANACOM Z rods are a perfect match to the new TANACOM reels to offer a complete solution to dominate the deep.
TANACOM Z blanks are built using Daiwa’s GLATECH construction, a unique process which lays linear fibreglass sheet over a carbon blank to give the shock-absorbing nature of a fibreglass blank without the increase in weight and loss in sensitivity, X45 technology is used on the carbon core blank where 45 degree carbon is laid in both directions to eliminate blank twisting which is important for dendoh rods in particular.
Fuji heavy-duty boat guides with their SiN II ceramic insert are both incredibly strong and smooth, capable of handling extreme pressure from heavy braided line over long drawn out fights. An ALPS heavy duty swivelling roller tip is also installed to control the line flow from the rod tip and minimise heat build-up as the line enters the guides.
A custom Daiwa bent butt is the perfect length to suit most Australian boats and two models in the range perfectly cater to the different fisheries from the east to the west.
TANACOM X
The entry level of the new TANACOM rod series, TANACOM X is a perfect blend of performance and value to give more angler’s access to the bountiful deep waters of Australia’s oceans.
Built on a composite graphite blank, TANACOM X exhibits a powerful but forgiving action suitable for turning bottom-hugging beasts like bar cod and bass without being a broom stick and risk pulling hooks when that fish takes the final lunge.
Adorned with a set of Seaguide heavy duty stainless steel frame guides, TANACOM X is capable of withstanding the heavy loads of repeated drops all day long. TANACOM X is available in both a matching Seaguide swivelling roller tip and standard heavy-duty tip guide to give angler’s more options.
TANACOM X is also available in a handheld specific B63-3/4 model which is designed to use with smaller 300 size dendoh reels which are becoming more popular in Australia.

UNDERSTANDING
BRAIDED LINES
Braided lines gained popularity in Australia back in the early 2000’s as anglers started to search for an alternative to traditional nylon lines.
Braided line has advanced a lot since its inception but the key traits of the line remain the same. Thin diameters, low stretch and abrasion resistance are the three key features of braid that have been retained giving anglers increased feel, durability and handling.
As materials, construction and coating processes have changed over time the performance of braided lines has increased dramatically.
WHAT IS PE LINE?
Polyethylene (PE) is a synthetic polymer that is widely used in various applications due to its strength, durability, and resistance to abrasion. In the context of fishing, PE fibers are commonly used in a braided form. These braided PE lines have become popular among anglers for their strength-to-diameter ratio, sensitivity, and low stretch.
When a PE rating is applied to fishing line it is a measure of the lines diameter – not the lines breaking strain. PE lines will vary in strength between brands. For example, line rated at PE 2.5 may break at 25lb, 30lb or 40lb depending on quality/construction.
DIFFERENT BRAID RATINGS
PE RATING- The PE rating of a braid the measure of its diameter, not the braids strength. This is based on the Japanese Gou which is an old measurement used for silk. PE ratings allow you spool your reels correctly.
TEST RATING- The TEST rating of a braid is the advertised breaking strain of braid. This style of rating was popularized with the introduction of Gel Spun line to the market.
ACTUAL RATING- The Actual rating is the actual average breaking strain of a braided line. This is often stronger than the TEST rating (ie; TEST 8lb | Actual 19lb).
NUMBER OF STRANDS, MATERIALS AND WEAVE
4, 8, 12 STRANDS- Braided (PE) lines can vary in the amount of strands present. Most braid will be either 4. 8, 12 strands, the number of strands used and the spinning/braiding process used will dictate a braids strength. The higher the number of strands will generally increase the smoothness and handling of a braid.
RAW MATERIALS & COATINGS- Raw materials and coatings that are used to created braided drastically change the characteristics of braided line. For example, J-Braid Expedition uses IZANAS fibers that are a very round profile which creates a very dense and round braided line. Various coatings such as Coating PE and Evo Silicon are also added to some braids aiding in cast distance, handling as well as repelling water and containments from entering the fibers which extends the braid’s lifespan.
WEAVE - The pitch of a braid PPI (weaves per inch) will vary depending on the spinning/braiding process used. A high pitch weave creates a higher density braid making it more durable and abrasion resistant. A lower pitch weave creates a braid with a lower density and therefore is typically less abrasion resistance.
SALTIGA 12 DURASENSOR EX Si3+
A unique weaving process delivering unmatched strength. Elevate your fishing to the next level with 12x Muscle PE braid by Daiwa.
High Spec Casting & Jigging PE Line
Designed & developed over years between Daiwa engineers and expert anglers across the glove, the new SALTIGA 12 EX Si3+ braided line is woven in a way to eliminate gaps between the fibres, a process unique to Daiwa 12 braid. This distinct profile resists deforming when stretched tightly, resulting in a 12 braid that is far superior against wear & abrasion.
EX Treatment – Smooth Line Surface
The EX treatment produces a smooth line surface, increasing casting distance and resisting the fibre against premature wear & tear.
Evosilicone3 Finish (Si3+)
Daiwa’s unique silicone coating technology significantly increases the lines durability (up to 150% more compared to the previous Si2+ coating).
Muscle PE
Muscle PE refers to Daiwa’s unique weaving method to produce a tightly woven high-spec PE line, the finest in its class.

DAIWA ELASTOMAX SOFT LURE
Bait Junkie is the culmination of many years of collaboration between Daiwa engineers from Japan and local Australian R & D teams. Developed specifically for Australian conditions, Bait Junkie is the furthest evolution of soft bait design, incorporating innovative material science with unique and functional 2D and 3D designs to release a full range of soft plastics that are just as effective as they are exciting.
Bait Junkie baits and packs are also loaded with Shrimp Power-Oil, a powerful shrimp-based formula to make sure that the moment your lure hits the water it’s working.
It’s the small details that set Bait Junkie apart from the competition. When Bait Junkie baits are made, the mould is designed in such a way so the baits can be perfectly cut from the mould, making the fronts of each bait perfectly flat with no injection markings. This makes rigging Bait Junkie baits incredibly easy as they perfectly match to any jighead on the market. Speaking of rigging, all Bait Junkie baits have rigging lines to ensure you rig them straight and true every time. Even the packaging has been carefully planned, and includes a ‘clam’ style internal tray, meaning bent and kinked baits will be a thing of the past.
All Bait Junkie baits are made from Daiwa’s Elastomax material. A stretchy, durable and buoyant material, Elastomax allows for thinner designs without sacrificing strength, which results in significantly improved swimming action at slow speeds.
The buoyant nature of Elastomax also means baits will rest ‘tail-up’ when rigged on traditional jigheads. This gets the tail up off the bottom and into the current, meaning Bait Junkie baits swim even when you’re not retrieving them.
A natural based flavour and scent which masks any unnatural plastic odours or smells. The addition of AMINO-X means when fish bite, they hold on longer, giving angler’s more time to react and ultimately more fish in the boat.
BAIT JUNKIE COVERT JIG HEAD
The newest addition to the Bait Junkie Jig Head range, the COVERT JIG HEAD is designed for the finesse angler or those looking for a more natural presentation. With a weight system that is concealed within the soft plastic when rigged the Bait Junkie COVERT JIG HEAD offers the most natual presentation.
The unique COVERT bait keeper is a new design created to enable anglers to fish with confidence knowing that their soft plastic remains secure from cast to catch..Whether you are skip casting under structure or presenting a plastic on the flats to wary fish, there is the perfect combination of hook and weight to suit all situations.
All Bait Junkie Jig Heads are built around quality BKK hooks in combination with Daiwa’s SaqSas hook coating, a superslippery Teflon like coating which increases penetrating power of the hook point providing a superior hook up ratio. Available in both a 2X strong BKK heavy wire and 0X BKK light wire hook, Weights are indicated on the weight with a series of dots.

BAIT JUNKIE JIG HEAD
A project two and a half years in the making, Bait Junkie Jig Heads are finally here. Designed in collaboration between Daiwa Australia’s product development team, long-time Daiwa angler Kris Hickson and with input from Australian lure making stalwart Dan Stead. Bait Junkie Jig Heads offer a unique feature set which elevates performance for an oftenoverlooked category.
It all starts with the hook, and Bait Junkie Jig Heads are built around quality BKK hooks in combination with Daiwa’s SaqSas hook coating, a super-slippery Teflon like coating which increases penetrating power of the hook point providing a superior hook up ratio. Available in both a 2X strong BKK heavy wire and 0X BKK light wire hook, Bait Junkie Jig Heads come in almost 100 different shapes and sizes to perfectly cater to your chosen lure and depth of water.
The totally unique bait keeper is the first thing to stand out. A design which evolved over the best part of 18 months and over 25 different prototypes. The goal? To create a jig head bait keeper that performed exceptionally well with Daiwa’s stretchy ELASTOMAX material from their Bait Junkie soft plastics, eliminating the annoying occurrence of your plastic being pulled down over the keeper and balling up into a twisted mess.
The head design of the Bait Junkie Jig Head is a mostly cylinder-shaped concept with a flat back for optimal clean rigging and a flattened ‘chin’ which when used in combination with Daiwa’s buoyant ELASTOMAX material offers a ‘tail up’ posture when your bait comes to rest on the bottom, even in very hard bottom situations where a bullet shape head cannot.
The features don’t end there either, even the package has been carefully designed to offer both convenience and a longterm storage solution. Bait Junkie Jig Heads come in a resealable zip lock bag which is great to keep brand-new jig heads free from wet tackle boxes where rust can ruin hooks before they’ve ever been used. The sticker which indicates weight and size is also easily removable and can be re-attached to a tackle box or storage tray for easy identification when you’re carrying a box full of jig heads in your boat or bag.
Arguably the most sought-after soft bait design in Australia right now, the humble single tail grub has come full circle.
The first thing you’ll notice of the Bait Junkie 2.5” Grub is the orientation of the tail. By positioning the tip of the tail parallel with the body of the grub, there is no opposing forces from the water acting on the tail. This results in all of the water pressure hitting in the inside curl of the tail, forcing it to open up and produce that irresistible swimming action. One of the biggest benefits to the tail design of the 2.5” Grub is that it swims at much slower speeds, including on the drop using much lighter weight jig heads than the competition. The swimming action of the 2.5” Bait Junkie is simply outstanding and is one of the most popular shapes in the Bait Junkie line-up.
The 2.5” Grub features rigging lines top and bottom for those who prefer to rig tail up or down, and also features a handy DVEC logo printing on the side indicating a recommended trimming if you wish to use a slightly smaller profile bait in highly pressured situations. Now available in 14 fantastic colours including two-tone laminate options, the 2.5” Grub is perfectly suited to chasing all sorts of species in both fresh and saltwater.
The Bait Junkie 2.5” Grub comes with 8 pieces per pack.

High Reflection, High Appeal, High Intensity
STEP INTO THE LIGHT AND EXPERIENCE THE LASER IMPACT DIFFERENCE.
UNIQUE DESIGN EMITS A HIGH INTENSITY LIGHT TO A WIDER RANGE.
3D multi-reflective structure (PAT.P) that emits intense reflected light in all directions
Hundreds of pyramid-shaped polyhedrons polished like a mirror are placed inside the body, and a mirror reflector is placed inside the body thanks to the very detailed finishing that is completed on the lure mould and the surface treatment after moulding. “ This 3D multi-reflection structure performs “recursive reflection” and “mirror reflection” at the same time completing a lure that emits an unprecedented range of intense reflected light.
REFLECTION DIAGRAM
LIGHT SOURCE
LIGHT REFLECT
LIGHT PASSED
LURE STRUCTURE
Innovative laser impact reflex structure
When light enters the lure, it is divided into light that returns to the direction that has entered, light that passes through the polyhedron and reflected, and light that has passed through and reflected by the internal mirror. This phenomenon occurs in every single polyhedron on the lure body which are arranged based on precise calculations, each of which diffuses high-brightness light in multiple directions.
LIGHT REFLECTION
By combining “reflection” and “recursive reflection” that returns the incoming light to the direction of the light source as it is, we have developed a new technology that realises higher brightness light and reflection to longer range. That’s Laser Impact.
This innovative technology places hundreds of pyramid-shaped polyhedrons within the lure body, and a built-in mirror shaped plate inside the body. The 3D multi-reflection structure realises high-brightness and multi-directional reflection/ flash from about 1000 reflective faces that all face different directions. As the lure moves and the angle of the faces change it creates a realistic flicker as the light disappears. This flicker is incredibly realistic and irresistable to predators exactly like the bait fish itself.

SALTIGA CUDDLER
Designed by renowned saltwater angler Ryota Segawa, the Saltiga Cuddler is a high-performance lure built for anglers who demand both casting distance and swim stability in tough conditions. Every detail of the Cuddler reflects Segawa’s meticulous design philosophy, with a tapered tail that reduces air resistance for stable, long-range casts, even into strong headwinds or crosswinds.
A carefully engineered rear counterweight delivers a balanced floating posture, ensuring the lure consistently rises to the surface in the optimal position. This stability allows the Cuddler to dive and swim effectively regardless of surface conditions, maintaining its action through chop, swell, and surge.
Whether you’re casting from the rocks or the boat, the Saltiga Cuddler stands out as a serious tool for targeting predatory species with confidence and control. Available in 185mm and 200mm sizes.
SALTIGA FROTHER
The SALTIGA FROTHER 170F is a diving popper for big game. It is characterized by the fine bubbles that are generated when it is pulled subsurface. It has a big presence in the water to call in predators and induces a big bite. The cup shape (wall thickness and depth) was fine-tuned many times during development before the final shape was decided. It was designed with a focus on the fineness and density of the bubbles to attract more fish. Not only is the bubble itself appealing, but it also blurs the outline and silhouette of the lure, making it difficult for wary fish to see through.
The body is also available in colors that use Daiwa’s 3D multi-reflective structure “LASERIMPACT”. The realistic flashing like a baitfish also increases the visual appeal. In addition, the large cup can produce a sound similar to the sound of predation, so it can attract fish from far away with light and sound. In addition to being useful as a search lure, it can also be used in a wide range of scenarios. It can be used at a good tempo with continuous action without diving too deep, so you can make the fish chase you for a long distance and get them to bite. It also has excellent long-distance casting performance.
EMERALDAS AMOROUS JOINT
The Daiwa Emeraldas Amorous Joint is a truly groundbreaking squid jig, featuring a vertical joint structure that produces a smooth and seductive dolphin-like action in the water. This lifelike movement is highly effective at triggering strikes from curious or cautious squid. What sets this jig apart is its dual eyelet positions, allowing anglers to easily switch between different lure actions depending on the situation. Tying to the nose eyelet creates a sharp, vertical darting action ideal for precise, up-and-down movement. On the other hand, connecting to the head eyelet delivers a wide, sliding motion that covers more water and mimics a fleeing baitfish.

EMERALDAS NUDE V2
Emeraldas Nude is a visual and action jig, its unique lifelike pattern design and smooth body is designed to attract a squid by sight and action. Its smooth body design allows the lure to dart and slide effortlessly through the water. It’s a complete eging system that features attachment points designed to be used in conjunction with the Agorig Sinker system and the EG-Snap, which allows for changes in sink speed, depth and angle. By attaching the Agorig sinker to the keel eye the jig will glide slowly at a 30-45 degree angle, but when attached to an EG-Snap the lure will sink rapidly at a 75 degree angle. This is ideal for deep water or fast current situations.

DOUBLE CLUTCH 60SP/75SP/95SP
A jerkbait with few peers, the Double Clutch continues to set the standard as the ultimate suspending twitchbait. Highly regarded by bream anglers in Victoria and Tasmania, and flathead and impoundment bass anglers in Queensland and New South Wales, the Double Clutch is the lure that continues to set the standard in jerkbait performance time and time again.
Featuring Daiwa’s unique Silent Gravity Oscillation System (S-GOS), the Double Clutch casts like a bullet for effortless, trouble free casting, while on the retrieve its twitching and darting action works from the very first twitch courtesy of its innovative tungsten sliding weight transfer system. The Double Clutch’s unique bib design and slender profile causes the lure to track straight and deep, a trait that can be hard to find in a slim profiled jerkbait.
While bold in action, the Daiwa Double Clutch is reserved in sound, with its internal dampening washers keeping lure noise to a minimum to enhance finesse appeal. Hooks have been upgraded, with the 75mm and 95mm Double Clutches now featuring Owner ST-36BC trebles. It’s hard to improve on perfection, but with the restyled and revamped Daiwa Double Clutch we think we’ve done it.
Daiwa has created an excellent mix of colours in the range to make sure there is a Double Clutch to suit every situation.

DOUBLE CLUTCH BARRA TUNE (115SP / 115SP EXDR)
There’s no doubt the demands of Barramundi anglers ask a lot of the tackle they use, with many lures on the market falling short of the durability required to be a go-to lure for northern anglers. That’s why when making the Double Clutch 115SP &115SP EXDR, Daiwa engineers started from scratch, and focused on producing a lure which could emulate the action of the smaller Double Clutch series but incorporate a solid strong through-wire system.
One of the keys behind Double Clutch is the Silent Gravity Oscillating System (S-GOS) casting mechanism. A sounddampened casting weight which is held in place by magnets to perfectly balance casting distance and swimming posture and action, without making the lure incredibly loud underwater. This system makes Double Clutch 115 fly straight and true, whilst retaining an almost silent appeal under the surface, something many clued on Barramundi anglers swear by.
Incorporating the through-wire system with a heavy-duty body construction, Double Clutch 115 is ready to meet the challenge. Fitted with BKK treble hooks and strong split rings, there’s no need for aftermarket tuning to make this lure ready for battle.
DOUBLE CLUTCH 75SR
A welcome addition to the popular Double Clutch range, the 75SR model is the first true shallow-diving Double Clutch. With the same great action you’ve come to love from the original models. The 75SR has been designed & developed specifically for Australia. Catering to the shallows, the 75SR will dive to a maximum depth of 3ft, making it perfect for attacking the shallows chasing estuarine species such as flathead & bream, or the shallow freshwater chasing iconic species such as bass & trout. Daiwa’s unique & patented S-GOS system is present, just like the other models in the DC range and makes the darting action
Fish the Double Clutch 75SR anywhere you need a lure working erratically over shallow cover. Sand flats, weed beds, shallow laydowns & more can all be a great spot for a well-presented jerkbait. Double Clutch suspends in freshwater and very slowly floats in saltwater, so you can twitch & pause this lure to entice a strike.
DOUBLE CLUTCH 48SP
The Double Clutch 48 has been designed specifically for Australia as the ultimate finesse twitchbait. Featuring Daiwa’s patented Silent Gravity Oscillation System (S-GOS) weight transfer system, the Double Clutch 48 exhibits unmatched responsiveness when twitching.
The key to the S-GOS system is that it shifts the bait’s centre of gravity on every twitch, making the lure shift and pivot differently with each movement of the rod tip.
Perfectly suited to both fresh and saltwater, the DC48 will suspend in freshwater and slowly rise in salt. Fitted with BKK Spear 21SS treble hooks it is ready to fish straight out of the package in a variety of fish catching colours.

INFEET KODACHI 40SF
The Infeet Kodachi 40 SF is a slow floating subtle finesse shad shape crankbait which excels when fish are skittish, whether in clear water or still conditions. Kodachi’s thin round lip bib provides an immediate action, even at slow speeds, but thanks to its shad shape profile, a tight action is still retained when retrieved with a slow roll.
Kodachi is equipped with a magnetic cast weight system. By fitting a small magnet and sliding weight in the head of the lure, Kodachi shifts to bulk of its mass to the tail when casting for long, accurate casts. But when cranked down, the sliding weight is locked in place by the magnet, ensuring that the tight and stable action is consistent. Kodachi is an ideal bait for flats and shallow/floating structure such as boats, pontoons, weedbeds and rock bars.
INFEET SAZANAMI
The INFEET SAZANAMI 60SP is a shallow running suspending jerkbait perfectly suited to targeting the shallow waters of our lakes and rivers. Measuring 60mm long and weighing 3.5g, the INFEET SAZANAMI suspends in freshwater and floats very slowly in saltwater. Diving to a max depth of 4ft, the INFEET SAZANAMI is the go-to choice when fishing super skinny water for predatory species like Bream, Whiting, Flathead and Bass. It’s slim body profile and short bib combined with Daiwa’s S-GOS (Silent Gravity Oscillation System) weight transfer system to produce a truly un-matched darting action. The S-GOS system also enables SAZANAMI to cast long distances, converting more bites from spooky fish in shallow water.

INFEET ROLLIN’ CRANK MR/DR
The Infeet Rollin’ Crank is the ultimate finesse crank and was developed to give anglers a bite size option to tie on when the bite is tough.
Available in two depths and measuring in at 32mm the Rollin’ Crank is the perfect bait for Australia’s diverse estuaries.
The MR will reach a depth of 1.3m and is the ideal bait for flats and shallow/floating structure. Getting down to depth quickly with a tight wobble and the ability to swim at slow speed make the MR Crank ideal for a ‘Slow Roll’ Style retrieve.
The DR is a tailor-made bait for fishing deeper areas of the estuary such as rubble and rock walls. A careful weight placement creates instant traction on the retrieve getting the DR Crank to it’s 2m depth quickly. The bib shape creates a ‘searching’ style action and deflects off structure with ease, a key factor in triggering bites from predators.
The Infeet Rollin’ Crank may be small in size but it is a consistent catcher of large fish and is a worthy addition to any estuary angler’s tacklebox.

A host of new colours in the range, all purpose designed for Australian conditions make the new DR Minnow II & DR Minnow Joint II one of the most well-crafted trout lure ranges available. Fitted with BKK Spear 21SS treble hooks straight out of the pack means you can get straight into the action.
The Silver Creek Spinner is a perfect presentation of the “basic cast and wind spinner”. Because it is a simple lure, the basic performance is important and the new design creates a simple yet effective lure for fish in both rivers and lakes.
The all-round design redefines a basic spinner’s performance in detail and does not lose balance even with strong current. The rolling swivel integrated with the shaft and the keeled rotating body reduce line twist and helps you catch more fish!

DROWN DRAGONFLY
Among the insects around Australia, dragonflies are highly prevalent and live all over the country. The Drown Dragonfly’s realistic design is easily recognizable and presents naturally to predatory fish. Hollow rubber is used to imitate the floating wings, and the matte grey SaqSas hook looks like a dragonfly’s legs, creating a realistic feel. The soft tail is made of elastomer resin with buoyancy and weight, which not only improves castability but also attracts fish by shaking during action. In addition, the tail attachment part has a joint structure that allows it to move upwards so that it is less likely to be bounced off when biting. To use, cast it and then stay, or give it a small shake to create ripples to attract fish.

STEEZ SPINNERBAIT
The STEEZ Spinnerbait builds on the premium STEEZ brand. It all starts with a thin tapered wire and thin premium tandem Colorado and Willow leaf blades. Thinner blades turn more easily, and therefore can be worked slower than many others. The thin tapered wire vibrates more, to increase the pulsing action of the bait underwater. Hand tied skirts mean there is no rubber band to deteriorate over time, meaning your skirt will stay perfect for the life of the lure. A premium SaqSas hook penetrates easily, ensuring solid hook-ups. The STEEZ Spinnerbaits are a premium Japanese offering, which live up to their reputation, available in1/4, 3/8oz and 1/2oz sizes.

In contrast to the original Steez Spinnerbait the new ASROC models deliver a higher level of vibration through the water, with a double Colorado blade configuration increasing blade and bait pulse and vibration. A characteristic that is tailor made for dirty water and for vibration and flash loving species such as yellowbelly, murray cod and sooty grunter.

A thin fibre weed guard helps resist snagging, allowing anglers to fish a chatterbait in thick cover and vegetation. A hand tied skirt means there is no rubber band to deteriorate over time, allowing your skirt to stay perfectly aligned for the life of the lure.

Each assist comes with a pair of super sharp SaqSas hooks perfectly suited for freshwater and estuary species such as Bass, Yellowbelly, Perch, Whiting and Bream. An oval shaped split ring is also fitted to allow the assist hooks to swing freely and perform flawlessly without affecting the lures action.

Daiwa’s new range of tackle trays, D-BOX has been designed and developed to produce a cohesive range of purpose-built storage perfectly suited to the modern angler. Available in a range of sizes & depths, Daiwa’s D-BOX range is made from recycled polypropylene, a low-impact material which delivers no toxic waste, no emissions, no fluorocarbons & no halogens in its process.
All Daiwa D-BOX’s feature a 4 sided clasp system to ensure secure latching and to fully compress the water-resistant gasket seal which is installed 360 degrees around the lids of all D-BOX models.
Each box was carefully designed to maximise storage and versatility with features like spinnerbait storage incorporated into the D-BOX MD and SD models.
The D-BOX LSU & SSU (Shallow Universal) are unique boxes with moulded silicon holders which grab hooks and don’t let go, a perfect jighead or soft vibe storage box.
