Daiwa Saltist Electric Fishing Rod

The Daiwa Saltist Electric Fishing Rod Range has been developed for anglers who want a reliable and affordable electric fishing rod capable of handling Australia's demanding deep drop fisheries.

Designed specifically for use with modern electric reels, the Saltist range delivers the strength and durability required when fishing heavy sinkers, large baits and powerful fish hundreds of metres below the boat. Whether you're targeting blue-eye trevalla along the continental shelf, dropping baits for bar cod and bass groper in deep canyons or fishing offshore reefs for hapuka and ruby snapper, these rods are built to handle the task.

At the core of the range are durable fibreglass blank constructions that provide excellent shock absorption and lifting strength. The forgiving action helps cushion sudden lunges and head shakes from large fish while reducing pressure on hooks, leaders and braided line systems. This becomes particularly important when using electric reels where constant pressure is applied throughout the fight.

The Saltist Electric range is available in both solid tip and swivel tip configurations, allowing anglers to choose a rod that best suits their preferred style of fishing. The solid tip models offer increased sensitivity and bite detection, while the swivel tip models provide additional line management benefits when fishing heavy braided lines and deepwater rigs.

Heavy-duty PacBay bent butt systems improve rod positioning in rod holders and provide better leverage during long battles offshore. Combined with the powerful blank design, these rods remain comfortable to fish while delivering the lifting power needed to retrieve heavy rigs and large fish from significant depths.

Designed to perfectly complement Daiwa's electric reel lineup, the Saltist Electric range offers dependable offshore performance without the premium price tag of some higher-end electric rod models. For anglers looking to build a reliable deep drop outfit, it remains one of the most proven and practical options available.
