The Daiwa Saltiga Braid Special has been perfected by Daiwa to maximise the fishing qualities of braided line. The super light and responsive X45 carbon blank has a sensitive tip for improved bite indication which progresses through a cushioning mid-section to a powerful fish controlling butt. The line flow is smoothed by the 11 Fuji Alconite LC braid guides which are perfectly spaced to match the smooth fighting curve of the rod. An extended Powerlift duplon fore grip gives you superb feel when playing a fish and the 'winch down' DPS reel seat gives you improved handling and control
