Daiwa Saltist Match Boat Rod

Description

The Daiwa Saltist Match Boat Rod is the 11-foot Match Edition from the Saltist boat range, built for anglers who need finesse and reach rather than brute force. At 11 feet, it lets you cast or reach away from the hull, clearing other lines on a busy charter and putting baits into clean water where fish are less spooked. Its defining feature is a set of three interchangeable push-in solid glass tips, which let you calibrate bite detection to the strength of the tide and the size of your lead. Despite the length and sensitivity, it remains a Saltist at heart, built with HVF Nanoplus and reinforced with X45 and 3DX technology, so there is enough tubular power to control a specimen Ray or smooth-hound when one takes the bait. - Three Interchangeable Glass Tips: supplied with three different push-in solid glass tips for bite detection across varying tidal strengths - 11' Reach: a major advantage on crowded boats, keeping your line clear of the hull and other anglers - X45 Bias Carbon: eliminates blank twist, which is crucial on a longer rod to maintain casting accuracy and power delivery - 3DX Reinforcement: adds spine and wall strength to the blank, preventing it from feeling floppy despite its length - HVF Nanoplus: high-density carbon construction that keeps this long rod light and well-balanced - V-Joint: ensures the multi-section blank curves perfectly under pressure, mimicking a one-piece rod - Fuji K-Series Guides: tangle-free guides that ensure smooth line flow, essential for the light-line tactics often used with this rod - Model: STB113M-AU - Length: 11'0" (3.35m) - Line Class: 12-30lb - Sections: 3 + 3 Quiver Tips - Transport Length: Approx. 118cm - Guides: Fuji K-Series Alconite - Reel Seat: Fuji DPS - Blank Material: HVF Nanoplus / X45 / 3DX - Included Accessories: 3 x Solid Glass Push-in Tips The 11' Match Edition is a highly technical rod designed for light-to-medium ground and varied tidal conditions. It suits competition boat anglers and those targeting shy-biting species such as Bream, Whiting and Flatfish, where the long, supple blank and interchangeable tips help scratch out fish when the going is hard. It is also a strong choice for light-tide Uptide fishing or fishing down-tide with long flowing traces for Bass and Ray. On a crowded charter boat, the 11-foot length lets you steer your gear around the anchor rope or other anglers' lines with ease.
