Shimano Tyrnos and Daiwa Saltist Livebait Combo PE5/6

Using a overhead combo instead of a conventional eggbeater for livebaiting gives you many unique advantages which will help you hook and land fish. Overhead reel hold far more line than spin reels, have quicker drag settings, smoother drag and have more power than spin reels due to their gear configurations. The Tyrnos 16 uses high efficency gearing and is made out of aluminium. Hence why it is a trusted reel used by pros and charters around Australia. The Daiwa Saltist X overhead rods are perfect for livebaiting as they are short, meanig you can land them with less hassle once surfaced as you can hold the fish closer to the boat. The Saltist-X uses Fuji K Guides which are anti tangle. Additionally the Braiding-X technology makes these rods almost unbreakable.

Specifications

Demanding on tackle and body, few angling styles challenge in such an unrelenting way as offshore angling, and few names accept the challenge and shoulder up to the battle in such a formidable way as the Saltist name.

Rigorously designed and tested, and loaded with the pedigree and features that have made the Saltist name famous, this new series has it all. Featuring HVF graphite, Daiwa’s precise resin controlled, unidirectional graphite fibre blank technology, the result is a blank with maximum graphite density, delivering the angler a rod that is incredibly durable, lightweight and sensitive, yet immensely powerful and strong.

Braiding X technology further enhances the Saltist X series rod design, strength, and performance. The wall of the blank has been strengthened to eliminate blank twist and distortion, increasing rod strength and lifting power and allowing lighter, slimmer blanks to be made.

Fuji’s new Fazlite Anti-Tangle K-Series guides ensure trouble and tangle free time on the water. With their trademark deep blue colour adding a touch of style and class, their heightened bend strength and braid proof design are perfect for the rough and tumble of the high seas, and the demands of heavy braided line and hard pulling fish.

EVA Grips, Fuji reel seats and butt caps make sure the comfort and control boxes are ticked, while a stylish cloth bag delivers protection on and off the water. There are 12 models in the range so whether you’re jigging for snapper on the reefs, popping for GTs on the bombies, or casting for tuna and mackerel on the rocky headlands, the Saltist X range has you covered.
