This combo is ideal for the angler who is looking for a light offshore/ heavy inshore livebait setup. This combo can be used on a downrigger, fishing for Kingfish, trolling Yellowtail and Slimy Mackerel for Spanish and Spotted Mackerel and dropping paternoster rigs with live and deadbait for Jewfish, Trag and Snapper. The Torium is tough as nails and can withstand heavy saltwater spray, the carbon drag washers mean that even after you've caught many big fish on the reel the drag will still be smooth. The Torium also has a deep spool, meaning you can fit more and heavier line on the reel. The Saltist Hyper is a strong rod with a powerful backbone, allowing the angler to extract fish away from structure, towards the boat. It uses a spiral foregrip for comfort and extra grip. The combo is spooled with Daiwa J-Braid multicoloured, colour changing braid allows the angler to understand where their livebait is sitting in the water column, meaning you can track where the bait is in relation to the bottom, without needing to drop all the way down.
This Combo Includes:
- Shimano Torium 20HG
- Daiwa Saltist Hyper V2 5ft3 pe5-6
- Daiwa J-Braid Multicolour 300m 65lbs
The Shimano Torium overhead series is back â and theyâre better than ever. The three all-new reels in the 2015 lineup â the 16HGA, the 20HGA and the 30HGA â come equipped with Shimanoâs legendary Cross Carbon star drag system, which has been designed to provide 10 kilos of brute-stopping power. This is just what you need when fishing braided line like Power Pro, and line capacities are excellent for their respective sizes. With a high gear ratio of 6.2:1 and a staggering 117cm of line recovered with every crank of the handle, those high speed metals and jigs are simply going to fly through the water. Hopefully their target species can keep up! At a tad over 500 grams in weight, the three reels feature a compact design with a low-slung gear housing, so theyâre sufficiently light and ergonomically efficient for long casting sessions without fatigue. Additionally, three SA-RB bearings and one roller bearing make every cast accurate and as smooth as silk. Finally, given their rugged work environment, the inclusion of EI surface treatment on the aluminium frame and spool will ensure these Toriums continue to look the goods and perform for years to come.

Any product carrying the Saltist name invokes a level of trust and dependability few others can match. The original Saltist Hyper is arguably the cause of such a feeling, with thousands of anglers Australia wide relying on the rods during some of their most memorable moments on the water. Now in 2020, a new generation of Saltist Hyper is here. Leveraging all of Daiwaâs advancements in rod technology, 20 Saltist Hyper introduces Next Gen X45 technology to masses of offshore anglers whoâve seen what it can do on rod ranges like Spartan before it.
The blank of the all-new 20 Saltist Hyper is where the bulk of the advancements have been made. Next Gen X45âs ability to increase torsional stiffness works wonders on offshore rods, where casting performance using heavyweight lures can often mean the difference between catching a fish and going home empty-handed. 20 Saltist Hyper rods feel crisper and more responsive than their predecessors, and outcast and outperform them across all levels. The distinct blue colouration of Saltist Hyper continues, but this time it is clear so all anglers can see the distinct Next Gen X45 pattern.
A newly developed grip section catches the eye thanks to the unique spiral foregrip. First made popular on the Daiwa Tatula range of baitcast rods, the spiral grip provides a firm grasp, even when wet. As always, quality Fuji components outfit the 20 Saltist Hyper series from the newly released Corrosion Control (CC) Fuji âOâ ring guides and Fuji branded reel seats and butt caps.
The 20 Saltist Hyper brings with it a host of new actions dedicated to the growth in the lure casting sportfishing market that is so prevalent in coastal Australian waterways. Whether it's throwing stickbaits for tuna or reef species over shallow coral flats, or throwing a timber hardbody off the break walls of the northern rivers for mulloway, thereâs now a 20 Saltist Hyper for almost every conceivable mission.
FUJI STAINLEES STEEL GUIDES
Light, strong, and highly corrosion resistant, Fuji stainless steel guides are tailor-made for Australia's harsh conditions.
HVF
HVF (High Volume Fibre) combines precise resin control with unidirectional graphite fibre to produce a blank with maximum graphite density, making it incredibly sensitive, light and responsive.
V JOINT
Bias construction within the ferrule allows it to flex with the rod, eliminating the weak, unbending spot caused by ordinary ferrules. The result of this revolutionary technology is a multi-piece blank that matches the performance of one-piece blanks in flex, power and responsiveness.
X45
Developed to eliminate blank twist and increase power, X45 features a Bias Wrap Construction, left/right 45 degree carbon weave within the blank. X45 radically improves rod strength and durability by eliminating twist and preventing the blank from losing its round form. The elimination of this twist allows for a lighter, stronger and more powerful and sensitive rod.
