DAIWA 20 SALTIGA
Regular price $1,449.00 Sale price $1,119.00 Save $330.00At the heart of the re-design is the brand new Monocoque body. A single piece body capable of holding much larger internal gearing components is machined from high-strength aluminium to provide unheralded strength and improved sealing. Housed within the MQ body, is a brand-new drive gear, providing gear strength more than double that of its predecessor. Diameter has increased 12% against 15 Saltiga, whilst the new G1 Drive Gear is also thicker with a newly designed Tough Digigear concept of larger and deeper cut teeth.
The new MQ body in itself improves upon 15 Saltiga again. The single-piece construction improves the rigidity of the body assembly. Which when used under heavy loads against the ocean’s toughest predators, means 20 Saltiga delivers ultimate strength. The new MQ body also boasts a new rear cover design, eliminating screws from the underside of the reel to improve against intrusion, the cover is also produced from reinforced ABS to eliminate potential electrolysis with the aluminium body. Improved paint & finishing processes also extend the durability to the cosmetic side, delivering much improved corrosion protection.
The improvements just keep on coming, with a brand-new aluminium Air Rotor delivering more than double the rigidity against 15 Saltiga. The change to an aluminium construction rotor, which comes with increased weight, was enabled by clever engineering of the newly designed shape keeping the weight increase to a minimum.
Improvements have also been made to the spool & drag assembly, where drag pressures have been increased to an astounding 25/30kg. Limited by the spool capacity, Daiwa engineers created a new drag stack, increasing the number of washers to deliver ten times the drag durability compared to 15 Saltiga. A newly designed aluminium Radiation Drag Knob delivers improved cooling & heat dissipation compared to 15 Saltiga thanks to its aluminium construction and increased size compared to 14 Expedition. A newly designed ABS Longcast lip design offers improved casting performance and enhanced line management. A noticeable lack of porting and a unique under-side lip in the spool design is another deliberate strategy to minimise water intrusion under the spool.
DAIWA SALTIGA ROUGH RIDE
Regular price $34.99 Save $-34.99When a product carries the name of Saltiga, you can be sure it's heritage is burned deeply into the saltwater sport fishing scene. Now, with Saltiga Rough Ride there is a range of floating stickbaits suitable to carry the Saltiga name. Specifically tuned by the Daiwa Australia team to feature stronger through-wire construction, a hybrid BKK hook set, and a range of purposely designed colours resembling tried & tested Australian baitfish patterns.
Saltiga Rough Ride construction is unique, with first glance immediately noticing the dimpled pattern similar to a golf ball. This pattern stabilizes the lure both in the cast through the air, and when retrieving through the water. The dimbles create a stable pocket of air hugging the lures body, preventing tumbling and aiding in swimming stability in rough water conditions.
On the inside, Saltiga Rough Ride has been beefed up, featuring a thicker stainless steel through wire construction which ensures no matter what you hook, there's no way the lure can let you down. Connecting you to the fish is a hybrid BKK hook setup, a system favoured by many topwater experts. Saltiga Rough Ride features BKK Raptor X treble hooks on the belly hanger, adding more weight central to the lures body to aid in producing an enticing action. On the tail, a BKK Diablo inline single hook is positioned perfectly to provide a solid hook-set.
Featuring Daiwa's ADEL foil to resemble the pearlescent underside of baitfish, the colour patterns of Saltiga Rough Ride are some of the best saltwater colours ever designed by Daiwa Australia, and give options for all conditions and locations.
If you're looking to target Trevally, Mackeral or other speedsters off the top, look no further than the Saltiga Rough Ride available in 2 sizes to suit a host of different angling scenarios.

DAIWA 20 BG MQ
Regular price $359.00 Sale price $219.00 Save $140.00Daiwa’s BG series has changed the game of what affordable quality looks like in heavy-duty spinning reels. Now, by combining Monocoque Body (MQ) technology with the mass market appeal of BG, 20 BG MQ is born.
Monocoque Body (MQ) is the single biggest revolution in spinning reel design from Daiwa by totally eliminating the traditional two-piece body construction. MQ reels don’t use any side plates and feature a completely screwless body design which eliminates potential entry points for water & grime, and significantly enhances overall body strength and rigidity.
The screwless design principle of MQ bodies are also significantly more compact than a standard body design. Screws need material to grip to, and that means more overall size and more mass in traditional body designs. By replacing the side plate with a machined aluminium engine plate which screws directly into the reel body, MQ reels can maximise the internal space made available by using larger size drive gears than before.
Throughout the entire line-up of BG MQ, vast improvements have been made to almost all areas of the reel design. The drag has been improved both in maximum capacity but also in smooth overall performance, drastically reducing the friction of the Carbon ATD drag - BG MQ’s drag performance is unmatched by the competition.
The MQ body construction not only has the obvious benefits of a stronger & more compact body design, it also delivers an increase in gear durability thanks to absolute zero movement of drivetrain components once installed inside an MQ body. Weather-sealing is also significantly improved, with seals visible in multiple locations throughout the reel, BG MQ is built for the harshest of environments.
Casting performance has also been improved with the implementation of Long Cast ABS (LC-ABS) spool design. LC-ABS spool design improves line flow from the spool, resulting in increased casting distances across the board with both heavy & light lines.
Throughout the BG MQ range, improvements have been made specific to the size of each reel to maximise their performance and overall appeal to each target market.
Small size BG MQ (2500-4000) feature dramatically larger sized drive gears. Middle sized models 5000 & 6000 now feature the Rigid Air Rotor design, maximising strength and appeal for mid-weight sportfishing applications. Larger size BG MQ from 8000-20000 receive huge benefits as a result of the MQ body, with the leg & main body drastically increased in strength without increasing weight.
BG MQ marks a new era in affordable saltwater spinning reels from Daiwa, with MQ technology now available to the masses. BG MQ is built for the harshest conditions and is set to once again revolutionise the industry. Available from 2500-20000 size, BG MQ is now aligned with 20 SALTIGA sizing.
DAIWA 23 SALTIGA DURA X8 300M
Regular price $89.99 Save $-89.99Saltiga DURASENSOR X8 braided line is a 8-weave braided line, made in Japan using the latest DAIWA technology to produce a silky smooth, super thin line which is perfect for a host of fishing scenarios in Australia. Featuring DAIWA's MUSCLE PE fibres for a higher abrasion resistance and more durability, Saltiga DURASENSOR X8 is a very tough braided line, despite its very thin diameter. MUSCLE PE fibres are up to 4x more abrasion resistant than normal braided lines.
Combining with MUSCLE PE is the inclusion of DAIWA's famous Si2+ silicon coating. Not all braided line coatings are created equal, and Si2+ is the latest iteration of the technology which impregnates the individual fibres rather than coating them, for a long-lasting finish which aids in hydrophobicity and line management.
Saltiga DURASENSOR has been tweaked and perfected for the Australian market, with lighter weight offerings in the distinct chartreuse color with the addition of dark green markings every 10m with light blue markings every 15m to aid in bite detection on slack line techniques. These lighter weight sizes from PE #0.6-#2.0 are available in 200m spools and are the perfect size to either topshot 2 smaller spinning reels or to completely fill a standard depth Daiwa spin reel with the full 200m.
In the larger sizes, Saltiga DURASENSOR X8 is available with traditional multi-colour marking and in larger 300m spools, perfect for chasing harder fighting fish where you need larger capacity reels which hold a full spool of 300m of their given size.
