Saltiga SW – for uncompromising performance on trevallies, tunas, and other powerful species.

The Saltiga SW series was developed in cooperation with our experienced tropical fishing specialists, Robert Balkow and Heiko Regner, and is specially designed for demanding use on hard-fighting fish.

The use of top-quality materials and components ensures absolute reliability: the extremely robust HVF carbon blanks with X45X technology offer maximum rigidity and allow precise casting and perfectly controlled lure presentation – even with heavy poppers, jigs, stickbaits, and more.

The backbone of the Saltiga SW rods provides immense strength and power reserves for safely fighting big fish and keeping them away from structure with a tightened drag. The fast tip action ensures impressive casting distances. High-quality original Fuji SiC K-guides are wrapped under the frames to protect the blank and withstand the heaviest loads and pressure.

The exclusive Saltiga butt cap ensures maximum comfort during long battles. The Light Game models are also equipped with the exclusive Zero Seat reel seat – a symbol of ergonomics and comfort.

Saltiga – gear for anglers who demand extreme and uncompromising quality.

Our testers immediately fell in love with its characteristics and easily landed various tuna around the 35 kg range. Thanks to its slightly softer tip, this rod works very well even with smaller lures of around 50 g and allows for long casting distances, yet it still offers huge power reserves for casting larger lures weighing up to about 100 g. The rod is extremely light and well balanced, allowing for all-day fishing without fatigue. A truly top-class rod for lighter fishing with stickbaits and poppers, as well as for almost all medium-sized lures targeting medium-sized tuna, mahi-mahi, and similar species.
