~Inherit the spirit~ Completely supervised by Ichiro Sato! Tuna casting rod "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 for modern tuna games has been improved. BREAK YOUR RECORD We hope you will get a memorable rod with this rod.

Sensitivity Area Design System [ESS] (Expert Sense Simulation)
When a rod is bent, energy (restoring force) is generated that tries to rise in the opposite direction. This is the "strain energy" that causes the deformed (distorted) blank to return to its original shape, and it can be said to be an extremely important factor that determines the performance of the rod. DAIWA has independently developed a system to analyze and design "strain energy," which not only clearly identifies in numerical terms what is superior and what is lacking, but also makes it possible to reflect the sensibility of the angler in the design, bringing us closer to creating rods that anglers desire.
A thick, resilient, and powerful blank required for a tuna casting rod. It ensures casting distance while reducing the physical strain of a long fight. Even against large, powerful tuna, it is possible to use the "fight with the rod upright" method that Ichiro Sato believes in.
HVF Carbon
In the carbon sheet, which has the greatest impact on rod performance, Daiwa has focused on not only increasing the elasticity of the carbon fiber itself, but also on the amount of resin that acts as an adhesive to hold the carbon fibers together. By reducing the amount of resin, which can be considered excess fat, and instead increasing the density of the carbon fiber, the "high density HVF carbon" is more muscular and powerful. It is the ideal material for rods that emphasize toughness and strength.
X45 Full Shield (=X45 Cobra Shield)
The X45 Full Shield structure tightens the outermost layer of the blank with a 45° carbon bias cross from the tip of the blank, where twisting is most likely to occur, to prevent twisting during casting, action, hooking, and fighting. This dramatically improves torsional rigidity, allowing for greater cast accuracy and the ability to fully utilize the rod's inherent capabilities.
V-JOINT
By using high-strength nanoalloy material for the joint and utilizing DAIWA's unique precision processing technology, the V-Joint α was born, evolving the V-JOINT to be stronger, lighter, and with a cleaner bend. For rods with many joints, it is possible to shorten the joints, which contributes to achieving both strength and lightness.
The butt guide is an RV guide that allows easy line release. It is set up to prevent trouble even with thick lines. The middle thread is silver and black, giving it a sophisticated look.
| Model |
Explanation |
| 84-6 |
This model is mainly targeted at medium-sized bluefin tuna and yellowfin tuna using PE5-6.
The blank is not heavy despite its power, eliminating shaking when casting and showing its true value when fishing in severe schools of fish.
The flexible tip and strong butt power allow it to skillfully handle not only top plugs but also sinking pencils, resulting in overwhelming casting distances.
|
| 81-8 |
This model is suitable for situations where you need long casting distance when fishing for bluefin tuna or large yellowfin tuna at the end of the season.
This rod is perfect when the pressure is on and the schools of fish start to sink faster.
The 8.1ft length combined with a low elasticity blank provides both long casting distance and fighting performance at a high level. This is
a versatile power rod that can be used for both bluefin tuna and yellowfin tuna.
