Daiwa Sale Products

A Japanese-designed slow-fall jigging lure built for the slow pitch and slow jigging techniques, the Daiwa Saltiga SK Jig produces a distinctive spin and flutter action on the fall that triggers reaction strikes from predatory gamefish throughout the water column. The asymmetric SK profile creates an erratic, unpredictable fall that mimics a wounded or dying baitfish — the moment when most strikes occur. Once the jig reaches the bottom or a targeted depth, a steady wind on the retrieve produces a kick and slap action through the water column that continues to trigger strikes on the way back up.

The slow-fall technique is most effective when the jig is allowed to flutter freely on the drop with minimal tension — the SK's spin and flutter does the work. Available in 8 weights from 60g to 300g to match current speed, depth, and target species, and 9 colors covering natural forage imitations and high-visibility glow patterns for deep water and low-light conditions. 

Key Features

• Spin & Flutter Fall Action — Asymmetric SK profile produces a distinctive spin and flutter on the fall that mimics a wounded baitfish; most strikes occur during the fall when the jig is fluttering freely with minimal line tension.
• Kick & Slap Retrieve Action — Unique swimming action produces a kick and slap motion throughout the water column on the retrieve; continues to trigger strikes on the way back up after reaching the target depth.
• Japanese Slow-Fall Design — Engineered for slow pitch and slow jigging techniques; profile and weight distribution optimized for maximum fall time and erratic action at slow retrieve speeds.
• 8 Weights (60–300g) — Wide weight range covers shallow inshore to deep offshore applications; lighter weights (60–85g) for shallower water and lighter current, heavier weights (200–300g) for deep water and strong current.
• 9 Colors — Natural forage imitations (Sardine, Blue Pink, Orange Gold) and high-visibility glow patterns (Glow Dot, Glow Pink, Zebra Glow, Super Glow) for deep water and low-light conditions.

10 Per Pack

An exceptional value in saltwater conventional reels, the Daiwa Seagate delivers a premium component package — aluminum spool, metal star drag, and a composite frame — at a price point that makes it one of the most capable conventional reels available for the money. The aluminum spool provides the rigidity and heat dissipation needed for sustained drag pressure on hard-fighting fish, while the light yet strong composite frame keeps the reel comfortable for all-day use on the water. The metal star drag is smooth and features a positive click that lets you know if the drag has been accidentally adjusted during a fight — and locks the star against vibration from the boat.

The Seagate's drag system handles heavy braid-to-topshot setups well beyond its rated line capacity — the 65–80 lb braid with topshots up to 80 lb is a proven setup for tuna, yellowtail, and white seabass. Excellent castability makes it effective as both a live bait rod reel and a jig stick. 

Key Features

• Aluminum Spool — Rigid aluminum construction provides the strength and heat dissipation needed for sustained drag pressure on hard-fighting saltwater species; more durable than graphite spools under heavy load.

The Daiwa Rock Rover is an Inchiku-style jig built around a sleek bullet body design that gets the jig down quickly to the targeted strike zone — critical for bottom-oriented species holding in deep water or strong current. The multiple anchor points provide a selection of rigging options for both slow consistent retrieve and short jerk presentations, while the lifelike octopus skirt and imitation abalone shell eyes deliver a realistic, enticing profile that triggers strikes from rockfish, lingcod, and bottom species. Available in 6 weights from 80g to 200g across 4 colors. 

Key Features

• Inchiku-Style Design — Inchiku jig profile combines a weighted bullet body with an octopus skirt trailer; the body sinks fast to reach the target depth while the skirt pulses and flutters on the drop and retrieve to trigger strikes from bottom-oriented species.
• Bullet Body — Fast Sink Rate — Sleek, aerodynamic bullet body design minimizes water resistance for a fast, direct sink rate; gets the jig to the target depth quickly in deep water and strong current conditions where time-on-bottom is critical.
• Multiple Anchor Points — Multiple hook attachment points on the body provide rigging versatility; configure for slow consistent retrieve (hook at rear anchor point) or short jerk presentations (hook at forward anchor point) to match the target species and technique.
• Lifelike Octopus Skirt — Soft, flowing octopus skirt pulses and breathes with every movement of the jig; mimics the natural movement of squid and octopus — primary forage for rockfish, lingcod, and deep-water bottom species.
• Imitation Abalone Shell Eyes — Realistic abalone shell eye inserts provide flash and a lifelike appearance; adds visual trigger for species that key on realistic prey profiles at depth.
• 2/0 Hook — All Sizes — 2/0 hook across all 6 weight tiers (80–200g); sized for rockfish, lingcod, and bottom species in the target depth range for each weight.
• Slow Presentation Optimized — Inchiku design works best on a slower presentation — slow consistent retrieve or short jerk cadence; the octopus skirt produces maximum action at slower speeds where fast jigs lose their effectiveness.

Product Specifications

Color Guide

• Glow — Glow finish provides visibility in low-light conditions and deep water where ambient light is reduced; effective for night fishing and deep jigging applications where glow is a primary trigger for bottom species.
• Gold — High-flash gold finish; effective in clear water conditions where flash and reflection are primary triggers; natural baitfish imitation in gold tones for rockfish and lingcod.
• Red — High-contrast red finish; effective attractor color for rockfish and bottom species; red tones lose color at depth but the contrast profile remains visible to fish holding near structure.
• Sardine — Natural sardine imitation; realistic baitfish profile effective for species that key on sardine-shaped forage; good all-around color for mixed bottom species in clear water.

Weight Selection Guide

• 80g–100g — Lighter weights for shallower water (60–150 ft) and moderate current; slower sink rate produces more octopus skirt action on the drop; best for rockfish in mid-depth applications.
• 120g–150g — Mid-range weights for moderate to deep water (100–250 ft) and stronger current; balance of sink rate and skirt action for rockfish and lingcod in deeper structure.
• 170g–200g — Heaviest weights for deep water (200+ ft) and strong current; maximum sink rate for getting the jig to the target depth quickly in offshore and deep-water bottom fishing applications.

Best For

• Rockfish — Inchiku design and octopus skirt are among the most effective presentations for rockfish holding on deep structure; slow consistent retrieve keeps the skirt pulsing in the strike zone longer than fast jigs.
• Lingcod — Larger profile and octopus skirt trigger the aggressive strike response of lingcod; heavier weights (150–200g) for lingcod holding in deep structure and strong current.
• Deep Water Bottom Fishing — Bullet body and heavier weights (120–200g) for deep water bottom fishing applications where fast sink rate and time-on-bottom are critical; multiple anchor points allow rigging adjustment for different bottom presentations.

One of the most versatile and proven saltwater hard baits in the Daiwa lineup, the Salt Pro SP Minnow Sinking is a slow-sinking jerkbait engineered for a fast, ripping-style retrieve that produces an erratic, side-to-side darting action to trigger reaction strikes from calico bass, yellowtail, white seabass, and surf species. The weight transfer system shifts weight rearward during the cast for maximum casting distance, then repositions on the retrieve for optimal action — delivering long casts on both spinning and casting setups. The slow sink design keeps the lure just below the surface during pauses, holding it in the strike zone without dropping out of the water column.

The realistic scale pattern and 3D eyes create a lifelike baitfish profile that triggers strikes in clear water, while heavy-duty saltwater hooks handle the power of large calico bass, yellowtail, and white seabass without bending or straightening under load. Available in two sizes — 15S (6", 1-1/4 oz) at $14.99 and 17S (6-3/4", 1-7/8 oz) and 12 colors covering natural forage imitations and high-visibility attractor patterns.

• Bulk Spooling — 1,000-yard spool provides enough line to spool multiple reels; D-VEC 110-yard marker makes it easy to track remaining line and portion out consistent amounts per reel.

A collaboration between Daiwa's precision engineering and Gary Yamamoto's legendary soft plastic expertise, the Daiwa Yamamoto Neko Macho 4.5" combines a high-density body with a bulbous tail for a larger, heavier profile that performs across a wider range of bass fishing techniques than a standard finesse worm. The high-density formulation gives the bait more weight and substance for a larger profile offering — making it versatile enough for standard soft plastic presentations like Texas rigs and Carolina rigs, while the larger size and density also make it an effective choice for heavier power fishing applications like punching heavy cover and flipping.

The bulbous tail produces a distinct action on the fall and during the pause that triggers strikes from bass that have seen conventional straight-tail worms. 

Key Features

• Daiwa + Gary Yamamoto Collaboration — Combines Daiwa's precision detailing with Gary Yamamoto's legendary soft plastic formulation; the same Yamamoto material quality trusted by tournament bass anglers in a purpose-designed Neko Macho profile.
• High-Density Body — Denser formulation than standard soft plastic worms provides more weight and substance for a larger profile; sinks faster and stays in the strike zone longer on the fall.
• Bulbous Tail — Distinctive bulbous tail produces a unique action on the fall and during the pause that differs from conventional straight-tail worms; triggers strikes from bass that have seen standard finesse worm presentations.
• Versatile Rigging — Effective on Texas rigs, Carolina rigs, neko rigs, wacky rigs, punch rigs, and flipping presentations; one bait that covers finesse through power fishing applications.
• 5 Proven Bass Colors — Natural forage imitations and proven attractor patterns covering clear water through stained water conditions.

Product Specifications

Color Guide

• Green Pumpkin — The universal bass color; natural crawfish and baitfish imitation effective in clear to lightly stained water across all seasons and techniques.
• Watermelon Copper Orange with Red Flake — Natural watermelon base with copper orange and red flake for added flash; effective in clear water where subtle color variation triggers strikes from pressured bass.
• Black and Blue — High-contrast dark attractor; most effective in stained or off-color water and low-light conditions where a dark silhouette is more visible to bass.
• Junebug — Dark purple/black attractor; proven in stained water and night fishing where dark colors produce a strong silhouette and trigger reaction strikes.
• Natural Shad — Translucent shad imitation; best in clear water where bass are keying on shad as primary forage; effective on neko and wacky rigs in open water.

Best For

• Neko & Wacky Rig — High-density body and bulbous tail produce a distinct fall action on neko and wacky rigs; heavier than standard finesse worms for a faster sink rate and more pronounced action.
• Texas & Carolina Rig — Larger profile and high-density formulation make the Neko Macho effective on Texas and Carolina rigs for bass in open water and around structure.
• Punching & Flipping — High-density body and larger profile make it an effective punch rig and flipping bait for bass in heavy cover; penetrates mats and vegetation more effectively than lighter soft plastics.

The legendary Daiwa TD Minnow 95SP Suspending Jerkbait is back — the exact same tournament-proven design that won countless bass tournaments when it was first introduced. The slim and compact profile delivers the TD Minnow’s signature darting, side-to-side action on the jerk that has made it one of the most imitated jerkbaits in freshwater fishing. The internal weight transfer system shifts weight rearward on the cast for maximum distance, then repositions forward on the pause to achieve the critical suspending (SP) action that keeps the bait hanging motionless in the strike zone — the pause that triggers reaction strikes from bass and trout when nothing else will. 

Key Features

• Tournament-Proven Design — The original TD Minnow 95SP won countless bass tournaments when first introduced; this is the exact same design — not a reissue or update — with the same slim profile, same action, and same tournament-winning performance that made it a legend in freshwater jerkbait fishing.
• Suspending (SP) Action — Suspending designation means the bait achieves neutral buoyancy at depth and hangs motionless on the pause; the pause is the primary trigger for reaction strikes from bass and trout — a suspending jerkbait stays in the strike zone longer than a floating jerkbait, giving fish more time to commit.
• Internal Weight Transfer System — Internal weight shifts rearward during the cast for maximum casting distance; repositions forward on the pause to achieve neutral buoyancy and the suspending action; allows the TD Minnow to be cast significantly farther than fixed-weight jerkbaits of the same size.
• Slim & Compact Profile — Slim, elongated minnow profile delivers the TD Minnow’s signature tight, darting side-to-side action on the jerk; compact 3 3/4" body matches the profile of shad, smelt, and small baitfish that bass and trout key on in clear water conditions.
• 3 3/4" / 1/4 oz — Versatile size for bass and trout across a range of water depths and conditions; 1/4 oz weight provides the casting distance needed for covering water on large lakes and reservoirs.

Specs

• Length: 3 3/4" (95mm)
• Weight: 1/4 oz
• Action: Suspending (SP)
• Type: Jerkbait / Hard Bait
• Colors: Ghost Pink, Ayu, Bone, Wakasagi, Black Gold

Color Guide

• Ghost Pink — Translucent pink finish; effective in clear water and low-light conditions; pink tones trigger reaction strikes from bass keying on shad and small baitfish in clear water.
• Ayu — Natural ayu (sweetfish) imitation; realistic baitfish profile effective for bass and trout in clear water where natural color matching is critical; classic Japanese jerkbait colorway.
• Bone — High-contrast white/bone finish; effective attractor color in stained water and low-light conditions; bone tones provide visibility when natural colors lose effectiveness in off-color water.
• Wakasagi — Natural smelt/wakasagi imitation; realistic silver-blue baitfish profile for clear water bass and trout targeting smelt and small baitfish; classic Japanese tournament colorway.
• Black Gold — High-contrast black and gold finish; effective in stained water, overcast conditions, and low-light periods; black/gold combination provides maximum contrast and flash for triggering reaction strikes.

Best For

• Bass Fishing — Tournament-proven jerkbait for largemouth and smallmouth bass; suspending action and slim profile are most effective in clear to lightly stained water during cold water periods (fall, winter, early spring) when bass are lethargic and require a longer pause to trigger strikes.
• Trout — Slim minnow profile and natural colorways (Ayu, Wakasagi) match the smelt and small baitfish that trout key on in clear lakes and reservoirs; suspending action keeps the bait in the trout’s strike zone on the pause.
• Clear Water & Cold Water Conditions — Suspending jerkbaits are most effective in clear water where fish can track the bait and in cold water where a longer pause is needed to trigger strikes from lethargic fish; the TD Minnow’s slim profile and natural colorways are optimized for these conditions.
• Long-Distance Casting — Internal weight transfer system provides the casting distance needed for covering large flats, points, and open water on reservoirs and lakes where fish are spread out and covering water is critical.
