Saltwater Spinning Rods

The Daiwa 24 BlackLine Surf Rod is a top-of-the-line option for experienced surf fishermen who prioritize performance. Its advanced features, such as ALL SIC rings and FUJI K frames, aid in efficient line flow and reduce tangles to enhance casting abilities. The Daiwa Air Sensor reel seat sets itself apart with its lightweight yet durable design, ensuring a secure fit for your reel.

The sturdy shrink rubber rear grip further amplifies cast power, allowing for impressive distances to be achieved with ease. The use of Daiwa's X45 bias carbon technology strengthens the rod against twisting and maintains its integrity during intense situations.

Additionally, the SVF nanoplus technology utilizes nanotechnology to both reinforce and lighten the blank. Certain models, like the 902MXS, feature the MEGATOP tip for improved bite sensitivity. Braiding X effectively counters any potential issues.

Take your surf fishing to the next level with Daiwa's Ardito TR 5 Piece Travel Surf Rods. Thanks to Daiwa's innovative X45 technology and quality Fuji Guide train, this rod eliminates any blank twist and improves your casting accuracy. Perfect for the on-the-go angler.

The Daiwa Saltiga SW Travel Rods have a Slim Profile with a Strong Backbone for many hard-fighting tropical species. Multi-piece travel rods that can hang with better fish are rare. The innovative V-Joints connect the rod pieces with a flexing joint that avoids flat spots in the bend. This feature cannot be found in any other rods. With both Conventional and Spinning Models, there is a travel rod to suit your needs.

The blanks are finely wrapped with Fuji Tangle Free K Guides with tough, FazLite Rings, both components built for travel. A Compact Travel Case protects the rods from the bumps in the road. A Limited Lifetime Warranty stands behind the quality of materials and construction. If you are in the market for that rare travel rod that can take bigger salt water fish, look no further than the Daiwa Saltiga SW Travel Rods, quality in a case.

For Fishing in California:

• Surf Fishing:
  • Why It Works: The rods’ lengths (8'6" to 14'0") and medium-heavy to heavy power ratings (e.g., 8-20 lb line for 10'7"–13'0" models, 30-65 lb line for 8'3"–9'6" popping models) are ideal for long-distance casting from California’s beaches, piers, or rocky shores. The split butt design and zirconium guide inserts ensure smooth line flow for braided or monofilament lines, critical for casting heavy lures or baits into the surf.
  • Target Species: California surf species like surfperch, corbina, barred perch, halibut, and striped bass.
  • Technique Details: Use models like the HWM-S-1072MHb (10'7", 8-20 lb line, 1/2-2 oz lures) or HWM-S-1302MHb (13'0", 8-20 lb line, 1/2-2 oz lures) for casting soft plastics, swimbaits, or metal spoons into the surf zone. The longer 12'0"–14'0" models (e.g., HWM-S-1402MHb) excel for reaching deeper troughs or beyond breaking waves.
  • California Locations: Ideal for beaches like Santa Monica, Huntington Beach, or San Diego’s Mission Bay, where long casts are needed to reach feeding fish.
• Popping and Surface Lure Fishing:
  • Why It Works: The shorter, heavier models (e.g., HWP-S-832MHb, 8'3", 30-65 lb line, 30-160 g lures; HWP-S-832Hb, 8'3", 50-100 lb line, 90-200 g lures) are specifically designed for popping, with the backbone to throw large surface lures and handle explosive strikes. The rods’ fast to moderate-fast tapers provide the responsiveness needed for working poppers or stickbaits.
  • Target Species: Yellowtail, bonito, and occasionally tuna or dorado (mahi-mahi) when they move closer to California’s coastal waters.
  • Technique Details: Use large poppers or stickbaits (30-200 g) with the 8'3" popping models for aggressive surface presentations. The rods’ ALPS-316 stainless steel guides and TPE foam grips ensure durability and comfort during high-energy retrieves.
  • California Locations: Effective around Southern California’s Channel Islands or coastal kelp beds (e.g., La Jolla, Point Loma) where pelagics like yellowtail feed near the surface.

All models are 2 piece rods.
