KEEP

IT STRONG, STAY SMOOTH.....

Strong and smooth lasting rotation is the function required for a top class baitcasting reel. A powerful unit that continuously sends energy from the drive gear to the pinion gear. A robust body that suppresses force to the internals from the outside and realises a stable and quiet driving force. Each functional mechanism needs to work under any condition. The HYPERDRIVE DESIGN concept realizes efficiency under load that goes far beyond the conventional framework.

DAIWA, which uses experience as a weapon, sets the next standard for the future.

SPINNING REEL

Monocoque (MQ) body design is the single greatest leap in spinning reel design ever produced. Realising the first and only true single piece body construction of spinning reels on the market. MQ technology delivers benefits to anglers on multiple fronts. Delivering the holy grail of lighter and more compact, whilst also delivering improvements in strength and weather sealing at the same time.

MONOCOQUE DESIGN

Monocoque (MQ) reels do away with the use of this two-piece design, instead replacing the sideplate with a large direct screw-in engine plate. This design nullifies the need for the screws and therefore, the extra material required on the main frame for a threaded hole to accept the screw. Monocoque bodies are therefore more compact than their traditional counterparts, and as a result of that design the size of drive gear which can be installed is maximised.

BENEFITS OF MONOCOQUE

Benefits of the engine plate design is the removal of a lot of potential entry points for water and debris into the main gearbox of the spinning reel. By removing the sideplate and therefore the area where the sideplate and the frame meet, along with the 3-4 screw holes, MQ reels are much more sealed to the elements than a normal sideplate equipped spinning reel.

Briefly mentioned above, a benefit of maximising the internal space by removing the screws and necessary material, the drive gear size of MQ reels is maximised. Larger drive gears provide reels with increased power and torque, which translates to a feeling of effortless power to the angler. The increased torque of the gear also means the gear is more efficient, which in turn also translates to a longer lasting gear since it isn’t under as much stress for the same power output.

Monocoque (MQ) reels exhibit functional benefits the angler can feel on multiple fronts, reels that are both lighter and smaller than previous models, making them more comfortable to fish. Also delivering benefits of being more powerful, easier to wind under load and better sealed to the outside elements.

If you haven’t tried a Monocoque (MQ) reel for yourself, pick one up and give it a spin, you won’t be disappointed.

MONOCOQUE BODY

ZAION/ZAION V

Daiwa’s new AIRDRIVE DESIGN is based on a four pillar design concept.

•Airdrive Rotor

•Airdrive Bail

•Airdrive Spool

•Airdrive Shaft

AIRDRIVE DESIGN reduces weight, and enhances rotational smoothness and responsiveness to create a reel that is next level in both form and function. Take a leap into the future with Daiwa’s brand new spinning reel concept.

MAGSEALED protection is no longer just for the main shaft and rotor of a reel with MAGSEALED Ball Bearings providing ultimate protection for the most at risk location such as the engine sideplate and line roller.

Ultimate protection is delivered to the engine room of the reel with a magnetised oil seal located on the main shaft of the reel’s rotor shutting the door to the elements and unwanted intruders. Dust, water, and salt intrusion into the inner workings of a reel are a thing of the past with MAGSEALED technology.

ROLLER

One of the hardest working and exposed areas of a spin reel is protected with a MAGSEALED barrier shutting out the elements for optimum line roller bearing protection, performance and longevity.

ZAION ZAION V

A high-density resin and carbon material, ZAION resists corrosion, and exceeds the strength of traditional reel body materials such as magnesium and alloy. This rigid yet lightweight material is utilised in both reel bodies and Daiwa’s innovative rotor designs.

ATD/ATD TYPE L

Daiwa’s ATD (Automatic Tournament Drag) uses an improved drag grease that exhibits a low viscosity at rest. This reduces initial drag start-up inertia resulting in a smoother drag from the initial hook up.

Daiwa’s innovative AIR BAIL features a hollow tubular stainless steel bail that delivers maximum rigidity and strength with minimum weight. Line easily slides along the AIR BAIL towards the line roller for trouble free line control.

Lighter, stronger reels. The carbon hybrid resin material ZAION V is created by precisely controlling the amount of hybrid carbon in the mix. It achieves a weightlessness that surpasses metals whist maintaining a strength comparable to metal, and has the versatility to be mounted on many reels. It inherits the essence of the original ZAION, which can be said to be the MAX specs of carbon hybrid resin.

TWISTBUSTER II/III

Twistbuster is Daiwa’s exclusive line-twist reduction system that features a tapered line roller to reduce line twisting. Twistbuster is perfect for both nylon and braided lines providing anglers with perfect line management .

AIR ROTOR delivers a great leap forward in rotor design and function. Made from Alloy/Zaion/Zaion V, AIR ROTOR features a redesigned arch that disperses pressure, reduces weight and increases rotational balance of the reel.

TOUGH DIGIGEAR

A further evolution of its predecessor Digigear, Tough Digigear is our digitally designed gearing system that ensures ultimate gear precision, rotational smoothness, and strength.

LC-ABS

Compared to conventional spools, the LC-ABS has been shown to increase the average flight distance by approx. 5% due to its reduced weight and modified shape. LCABS Spool Tech grants anglers a premium casting experience.

AIR BAIL

AIR ROTOR

The foundation of the 22 Exist’s design is Daiwa’s new Airdrive Design, a four pillar (Airdrive Rotor, Airdrive Bail, Airdrive Spool, and Airdrive Shaft) design concept that reduces weight, and enhances rotational smoothness and responsiveness to create a reel that is next level in both form and function.

The new Airdrive Rotor and Airdrive Airbail combine to reduce weight at the top of the reel to improve rotational smoothness and start up speed. These design benefits are further enhanced thanks to the Exist’s new weight-saving, optimally balanced Airdrive Spool.

The last of the four key features of Airdrive Design, Airdrive Shaft, features a low contact structure between the mainshaft and pinion resulting in improved rotational smoothness.

Daiwa’s Airdrive Design concept combines with proven Daiwa technologies including Monocoque Body, Magseal, Tough Digigear, ATD, and Twistbuster, to deliver anglers their most advanced Exist reel ever.

Lighter, smoother, more balanced and free flowing than ever before the 22 Exist delivers the future in the angler’s hands.

The SUPER FINESSE ‘SF’ concept EXIST is the lightest spinning reel Daiwa has ever created. A smaller body unit has been developed to reduce the overall size & weight of the reel. A more compact short stroke spool further works to reduce the reel size & weight.

23 AIRITY

Truly living up to the name of AIRITY, the newest model is both incredibly lightweight and smooth. With the introduction of AIRDRIVE DESIGN, 23 AIRITY breaks the 150g barrier to deliver never before seen levels of refinement. AIRDRIVE DESIGN incorporates all four elements to deliver a reel which enables precision control from the angler.

AIRDRIVE ROTOR is the most noticeable difference in 23 AIRITY with the flowing lines and smooth design of the new rotor delivering lighter startup inertia and fluid reeling even under heavy loads. AIRDRIVE BAIL is a one-piece tubular hollow bail arm which has evolved from Daiwa’s original AIR BAIL design. AIRDRIVE BAIL is lighter and thinner than previous models, further improving start-up inertia and to deliver truly refined reeling. AIRDRIVE SPOOL has also been installed and still incorporates Daiwa’s famous Longcast ABS spool lip, but is now lighter than before, reducing the force required from the oscilation system to move the spool up & down, which in turn results in a lower resistance when retrieving.

Finally, AIRDRIVE Shaft is hidden inside the MQ body and is double supported by special collars inside the pinion gear, this further reduces friction and minimises power loss through the drive train of the reel. Ensuring that all that effort you put in is transferred to line back on your spool in an intense fight. The MONOCOQUE (MQ) body remains from the previous model, crafted from a single piece of treated Magnesium, the MQ body of 23 AIRITY is incredibly light & supports a TOUGH DIGIGEAR drive system which is both forged and machined from a high-strength alloy to deliver smooth & reliable performance for years to come.

There is no doubt that 23 AIRITY is one of the most refined fishing reels DAIWA has ever produced, and is available in a range of sizes from 2000-5000 to suit a host of both freshwater, light-tackle & inshore fisheries throughout Australia.

23 SALTIGA

23 SALTIGA represents the pinnacle of DAIWA engineering progress over the past decade, and features every bit of technology to make the new SALTIGA the best mid-size saltwater spin reel DAIWA has ever produced. For the first time in a true heavy-duty saltwater reel AIRDRIVE DESIGN is debuted. As was the case with the introduction of AIRDRIVE DESIGN with 22 EXIST, lower start-up inertia was the goal. By redeveloping the shape of the rotor assembly, DAIWA engineers were able to both reduce the weight & maintain the strength, a key consideration for a reel with a pedigree of strength & reliability like SALTIGA.

AIRDRIVE DESIGN doesn’t stop there, DAIWA also totally reengineered the bail assembly of 23 SALTIGA, with a distinct new shape, the bail arm maintains it’s hollow tubular stainless steel structure, but is now thinner and lighter than before. The new shape guides the line perfectly into the roller, which has also been redesigned with the implementation of TWISTBUSTER III to reduce line twist even more. All of these features are built upon DAIWA’s renowned Monocoque (MQ) body, a solid one-piece aluminium body which enables the fitment of a much larger drive gear, increasing torque & power. It also makes the reel much more impervious to the elements, further sealing the gearcase from saltwater ingress.

DAIWA’s MAGSEAL technology in both forms are also equipped, with a MAGSEAL above the pinion gear to stop water ingress from above, and MAGSEAL BEARINGs installed each side of the drive gear to prevent ingress from the handle or handle screw cap.

There’s no doubting the importance of a true saltwater mid-size spinning reel in Australian conditions, and the new 23 SALTIGA is the best DAIWA has ever produced. Whether you’re looking for a new spin reel for offshore soft plastics, slow jigging or casting surface lures over shallow reef flats, the new 23 SALTIGA will be the pinnacle reel in the DAIWA lineup.

If you’re looking for a new saltwater spinning reel capable of standing up to the test, look no further than the brand new SALTIST MQ.

Daiwa’s BG series has changed the game of what affordable quality looks like in heavy-duty spinning reels. Now, by combining Monocoque Body (MQ) technology with the mass market appeal of BG, BG MQ is born.

Monocoque Body (MQ) is the single biggest revolution in spinning reel design from Daiwa. Totally eliminating the traditional two-piece body construction. MQ reels don’t use any sideplates and feature a totally screwless body design eliminating potential entry points for water and grime, and significantly enhancing overall body strength and rigidity. The drag has been improved both in maximum capacity but also in smooth overall performance, drastically reducing the friction of the Carbon ATD drag. BG MQ’s drag performance is unmatched by the competition. Casting performance has also been improved with the implementation of Long Cast ABS (LC-ABS) spool design. LC-ABS spool design improves line flow from the spool, resulting in increased casting distances across the board with both heavy and light lines.

BG MQ marks a new era in affordable saltwater spinning reels built for the harshest conditions and is set to once again revolutionise the industry. Available from 2500-20000 size, BG MQ is now aligned with 20 SALTIGA sizing.

HYPERDRIVE DIGIGEAR is the next evolution of baitcast gear design, taking Daiwa’s Digigear concept to the next level to produce a smoother and stronger reeling sensation with a significant 60% improvement to gear durability.

HYPER DOUBLE SUPPORT improves the support of the pinion gear. This support in turn helps to extend gear life and increase winding power under load.

HYPER TOUGH CLUTCH is a redeveloped thumb bar design which is more durable and stronger than previous variations.

HYPER ARMED HOUSING is the use of Magnesium or Aluminium frame and gear side plate design which holds everything in perfect alignment.

Daiwa’s HYPERDRIVE DESIGN brings a new generation of baitcaster to the anglers of today with unparalleled rigidity, strength and smoothness.

HYPERDRIVE DIGIGEAR HYPER DOUBLE SUPPORT

HYPER TOUGH CLUTCH HYPER ARMED HOUSING

Daiwa’s revolutionary TWS (T-Wing System) addresses the issue of traditional line guide/level wind systems constricting line flow by delivering a T-shaped line guide that is larger, wider and less restrictive. TWS allows line to exit freely from the spool with minimal line angle, minimal friction and constriction, thereby reducing line noise and backlash, and delivering more accurate and longer casts.

The SV CONCEPT spool was designed to prevent backlashing and promote easy casting whether it is a lightweight lure or heavier big bait lure. The SV Spool is composed of G1Duralumin material with a diameter of 34mm for a much faster rotation and greater strength. SV CONCEPT with its lightweight spool and high precision design improves spool rotation and braking.

MAGSEALED BALL BEARING BOOST SYSTEM

MAGSEALED protection is no longer just for the main shaft and rotor of a reel with MAGSEALED Ball Bearings providing ultimate protection for the most at risk location such as the engine sideplate and line roller.

HLC CONCEPT ATD

Daiwa’s Hyper Long Cast super-tuned cast control system has been designed for optimum casting performance with the spool rotor modified to minimise rotor braking to maximise spool rotation and casting distance of heavier lures and baits.

20 SALTIGA LD

Introducing the new Saltiga Lever Drag (LD), crafted from the ground up to meet the demands of hardcore saltwater anglers around the world.

Over half a decade in the making, Saltiga LD combines everything learnt from across the globe. From the USA, South Africa, New Zealand and Australia, every bit of feedback and learning has been absorbed and rolled into what can only be described as Daiwa’s best lever drag reel ever made.

It all starts with the precisely machined one-piece aluminium body and sideplates. This rigid housing holds what sets SALTIGA LD apart from the competition – a meticulously crafted drive gear and pinion gear made from insanely durable Stainless Steel. Stainless Steel gears are harder than brass and much more resistant to the harsh saltwater fields in which this reel will be used.

Saltiga LD has had improvements in all areas of the reel. A drag cam design which is smooth and capable of handling both braid and monofilament lines is one of the obvious improvements. The lever itself has been totally redesigned, to allow finite and precise drag control even at very low settings, a feature beloved by live bait anglers especially.

Saltiga LD was designed to be beautifully simple, and incredibly strong. Available in single and two-speed designs from size 10-60.

Suitable For: There is a model to suit all situations from light to heavy tackle gamefishing through to slow pitch and conventional jigging. The ultimate reel for the avid offshore angler.

ROD TECHNOLOGY

Construction

X45 solves the problem of rod twist and power loss.

RODS

Daiwa has developed bilateral 45° carbon fibre that is combined with 0° and 90° carbon, creating a rod construction that is highly resistant to deforming This is X45.

X45 / X45X FULL SHIELD

**Give the samples a twist and feel the di erence**

X45X Full Shield Technology takes everything to the next level, and is 25% more efficient than standard X45 technology.

Daiwa’s traditional X45 technology is only able to be used in the internal layers of the blank. With the introduction of X45X Full Shield Daiwa has been able to introduce the overlapping X45X carbon to the outside layer of the blank which produces an astounding leap forward in blank performance and strength.

With increased torsional stiffness, blanks armed with X45X resist blank twist during casting and jigging. This characteristic prevents the blank from losing stored energy during the cast, ensuring that every bit of force you put into your cast, is transferred through the blank and ultimately to your chosen lure.

If you have not tried a rod with X45X Full Shield pick one up and give it a try. The elevated casting performance and feel will push your fishing to the next level.

Weighing a mere fraction of the weight of traditional guides (40% lighter than an equivalent sized titanium guide) AGS guides feature a solid carbon fibre frame construction that minimises weight, improves casting distance and performance, and delivers faster rod speed, reduced rod vibration and angler fatigue, and greater rod sensitivity.

INFEET LTD AGS is a single model series designed alongside the TD BATTLER AGS and incorporates a lot of the same technology such as the SVF Compile-X Nanoplus graphite and X45X Full Shield. This combination delivers an incredibly lightweight blank which is unmatched in sensitivity and responsiveness. Megatop technology integrates a solid carbon tip to blend an extra fast soft tip to a tubular blank. As a result an action which is simply impossible to achieve with a traditional tubular blank construction process is realised.

INFEET LTD AGS is technique specific and was designed to cater to the popular southern technique of fishing lightly weighted soft plastics over vast expanses of shallow water flats for estuary species such as bream, flathead and whiting. A request of Daiwa angler Mark Crompton, the action was one missing from Daiwa’s range and fills a gap in the market to perfectly cater to this technique.

22 INFEET SK

INFEET SK series offers angler’s some new actions with Fuji’s popular SK (Skeleton) reel seat configuration and is a testament to Daiwa’s commitment to the light tackle angling community.

Apart from the obvious change of reel seat configuration, INFEET SK also boasts some other interesting features most notably a combination guide train of a Fuji Titanium SiC stripper guide followed by a near-full set of Daiwa’s AGS carbon fibre guides. AGS guides are lighter than Titanium and give INFEET SK unmatched responsiveness and sensitivity in the hand.

HVF Nanoplus graphite has been combined with X45X Full Shield technology to eliminate blank twist which results in rods which cast insanely well for their size and feel crisp and responsive when casting or working lures.

As with all INFEET rods, a distinct red and blue colourway is used to designate the action of the rods, with fast action rods boasting red highlights while moderate or regular action rods are adorned with blue. For INFEET SK, there is two of each model available in both light and ultralight actions to cover the gamut of light-tackle techniques.

The flagship of the INFEET family, INFEET EX also receives an update for 2023. This time utilising Daiwa’s SVF Compile-X Nanoplus carbon in the blank making process, producing new actions with unmatched sensitivity. Incredibly lightweight & responsive, INFEET EX also features X45X Full Shield technology, to resist twisting to produce a rod blank that feels crisp & responsive in hand.

A brand-new Daiwa concept, ZERO SEAT for spinning rods also debuts in INFEET EX and is the latest reel seat technology. Made from an ultralightweight carbon infused resin material, ZERO SEATs are incredibly light weight, and this model emphasises comfort when paired together with lightweight slim rods and smaller spinning reels.

A combination guide train is again used in the form of Fuji Titanium framed SiC guides for the largest 3 stripper guides, transitioning to Daiwa’s AGS carbon framed guides on the tip to save weight & increase performance.

Finally, on certain models, Daiwa’s MEGATOP solid tip technology produces a solid graphite tip section which enables increased bite detection whilst exerting no pressure on the fish, perfect for timid bites & delicate offerings.

Building on the blocks laid by the popular range of INFEET EX spin rods, the new INFEET EX baitcast rods feature the same cutting-edge designs and technology. Built on SVF Nanoplus graphite blanks for insane sensitivity, the tech is cranked up with the inclusion of X45X Full Shield graphite cloth throughout the entire length of the rod. This use of X45X significantly increases the resistance the blank has to twisting forces, increasing responsiveness and delivering a crisp feel.

Adding to the blank, a combination guide train of FUJI Titanium SiC stripper guides and Daiwa’s Air Guide System (AGS) carbon fibre guides make the INFEET EX baitcast rods some of the lightest rods ever released onto the Australian market.

Daiwa’s double-trigger AIRSENSOR reel seat provides supreme comfort and a sensitive grip so you can feel everything that bites.

20 INFEET Z BAITCAST

Fishing the lightest lures on baitcast tackle is now more enjoyable than ever with the introduction of the INFEET baitcast range of rods.

INFEET Z baitcast is built on the same pedigree as the popular INFEET Z spin rods and utilises HVF Nanoplus graphite in conjunction with X45X Full Shield graphite on the bottom half of the blank to deliver an incredibly responsive and sensitive blank.

A combination guide train of Fuji’s Stainless Steel frame SiC guides is used on the butt section with lighter weight Titanium framed SiC guides on the tip to reduce tip weight further increasing feel and sensitivity.

Daiwa’s AIRSENSOR reel seat provides a comfortable and lightweight reel seat and split grip EVA completes the setup for a physically featherweight bait cast rod capable of casting below 2g weights when paired with the right reel.

23 INFEET Z

The INFEET Z range is arguably the best value rod you can get when looking for top-tier performance without the top-tier price tag. The new model, receives multiple upgrades for 2023. A brand-new SVF Nanoplus graphite blank adorned with X45X Full Shield technology is used throughout the entire length of the blank, reducing the twisting forces applied to the blank.

Equipped with a combination guide train made obvious with the changing colours of the thread wrapping. The largest guides bound in black are stainless steel framed Fuji SiC guides, and when the thread wraps change to white/orange this indicates the upgrade to Titanium framed SiC guides for a significant weight reduction on the tip.

This weight reduction increases sensitivity and improves overall balance.

Daiwa’s AIRSENSOR Neo-Traditional reel seat is a signature of the INFEET Z and the new and improved grip structure offers supreme comfort for all-day fishing sessions.

23 INFEET S

The initial trio of INFEET light-tackle rods is receiving a refresh, with a total overhaul of the range, enhancing specifications & adding new technologies along the way. The first of the range is INFEET S, the entry-point into the technique specific family and arguably the range that sees the most upgrades from the previous version.

Totally new blanks have been developed which now feature Daiwa’s Nanoplus resin technology, upgrading from HVF to HVF Nanoplus. The addition of Nanoplus is a huge step forward for the series, producing blanks that are physically lighter & stronger than the previous versions.

With some models barely registering above 70 grams on the scales. INFEET S also receives the major update of an AIRSENSOR reel seat, previously used on the flagship INFEET EX models which has further reduced the overall weight. Fuji Fazlite anti-tangle guides finish off the rods and provide great performance with either braided line or straight through fluorocarbon.

22 PRESSO

The 22 Presso rod series is introduced to the Daiwa range to offer angler’s a technique specific rod for targeting trout in small creeks and lakes throughout Australia.

A lightweight full carbon butt is coupled with a Neo-Traditional ‘Heartland’ style reel seat which utilises carbon infused resin to produce a reel seat which is hollow in construction yet incredibly durable, resulting in one of the lightest rods on the market.

22 Presso couples Daiwa’s X45 and HVF Nanoplus blank technology to increase sensitivity and keep weight down whilst maintaining durability for long treks through the bush. Fitted with anti-tangle Fuji Fazlite guides, the latest Fuji guides provide trouble-free casting performance.

Suitable For: Trekking for trout in the southern highlands or walking rainforest creeks targeting jungle perch.

20 EMERALDAS MX

Refinement, beauty and greatness are all defining qualities that come to mind when describing the legendary Emeraldas name and the 20 Emeraldas MX rod range continues the trend.

The foundation of MX’s design and performance is its advanced blank design. HVF Nanoplus and X45 carbon technology is where it begins, with precise resin control combining with unidirectional graphite fibres to produce a blank that has maximum graphite density and is incredibly sensitive, light and responsive.

An outstanding blank needs outstanding components and MX holds nothing back with design leading Fuji SiC titanium K guides and new Air Slash reel seats and Air Foam grips delivering a rod that functions at the very highest level.

Suitable For: The MX range is made for Eging excellence.

Technology combines with stylish good looks and outstanding value in the new Emeraldas V rod series. Designed for the egi angler who wants it all, the newest rod series to bear the famous Emeraldas name carries the same pedigree and performance that’s made the name famous.

Combining Daiwa’s performance focused blank design with unmatched value the new Emeraldas V series combines HVF carbon with Daiwa’s X45 and Braiding X blank technologies for heightened sensitivity and lightness, while eliminating blank twist and distortion to increase rod strength and function.

The Emeraldas V’s componentry is equally performance and design inspired with Daiwa’s new Air Slash reel seats delivering strength, weightlessness and classic Emeraldas styling, while Fuji SiC stainless steel K guides ensure ultimate corrosion resistance and unmatched sensitivity and performance.

Suitable For: The keen squid angler looking for the perfect blend of performance and value.

EMERALDAS X

Adding to the popular and distinctive line of Emeraldas rods is the new entry-level Emeraldas X series of specialist squid rods.

Featuring Daiwa’s Braiding-X blank design, Emeraldas X rods maintain the snappy and responsive actions required to get the most action out of today’s high performance squid jigs like the Emeraldas Nude and Dart II.

Available in the four most popular and desired specific actions, Emeraldas X rods cover the most popular egi sizes used in Australia from the diminutive #2.0 through to the larger #4.0 sizes often popular in southern states.

Outfitted with Fuji anti-tangle Alconite guides, Emeraldas X rods pack plenty of punch for their price and will be a huge hit come winter time when the squid are running and the jigs are flying!

Suitable For: Eging enthusiasts.

21 SALTIGA

A dedicated range of offshore casting models, the new range of 21 SALTIGA rods has seven models each catered to its own specific purpose to target hard-fighting sportfish throughout the world.

The core of the new SALTIGA range of rods is Daiwa’s X45X Full Shield carbon technology. With significant improvements to torsional stiffness of the rod blank, X45X Full Shield means the rods will resist twisting forces, storing more potential energy and ultimately releasing that energy into the cast when the angler lets their finger off the line. The blank’s ability to resist twisting and deformation means every inch of effort the angler puts in at their end, is transferred through the blank to make lures swim easier and more efficiently than ever before.

Fuji stainless steel silicon carbide (SiC) guides with reversed stripper guides give the best possible casting performance, and heavy-duty Fuji reel seats with locking nuts secure your chosen reel with confidence.

A truly dedicated range of topwater casting rods, there is no doubt the new SALTIGA range will put trophies in the boat for anglers all across Australia.

Suitable For: Kingfish or tuna down south, to GT and mackerel up north, the new range of SALTIGA casting rods is built to Break Your Record.

20 SALTIGA AIRPORTABLE

Suitable For: If travelling the globe for GT’s, dogtooth and marlin is in your blood, there’s only one rod series to pack…. Saltiga Airportable.

SPARTAN

The Spartan rod series brings X45X Full Shield technology to offshore saltwater rods for the first time, delivering a range of technique specific actions that outcast, outperform and outclass all others.

X45X Full Shield takes everything to the next level, and is 25% more efficient than standard X45 technology, significantly reducing blank twist and distortion. With increased torsional stiffness, Spartan is able to resist blank twist during casting and jigging. This characteristic prevents the blank from losing stored energy during the cast, ensuring that every bit of force you put into your cast, is transferred through the blank and ultimately to your chosen lure, resulting in visibly longer casts and more responsive feedback. X45X Full Shield takes X45 technology to new heights.

Spartan rods feature HVF Nanoplus graphite blanks, 3DX carbon to increase lifting power and V-Joint to increase joint strength. Equipped with Fuji stainless steel SiC guides and Fuji reel seats.

Suitable For: Developed from the ground up by Daiwa Australia’s experienced product team to deliver purpose built actions for everything from GT popping, reef flats casting and jigging.

SPARTAN SJ

Holding nothing back, the new range of Spartan SJ rods feature all the best components and technology which deliver unmatched performance.

Beginning with a HVF Nanoplus graphite blank which is lighter and stronger thanks to the nanoplus resin, Spartan SJ also receives the full X45X Full Shield treatment, reducing twisting under load thanks to increased torsional stiffness. Spartan SJ also features Daiwa’s patented 3DX carbon weave on the lower most section of the blank increasing lifting power.

Outfitted with lightweight Air Sensor reel seats, Spartan SJ rods are a perfect match for reels such as Lexa TW or Saltiga 15 providing a compact yet powerful outfit capable of dishing out plenty of hurt.

Fuji stainless steel silicon carbide (SiC) guides manage line-flow effectively and the clever adjustable EVA pad in the split section means you can protect the rod when travelling in your boats rod holders.

Available in PE ratings 2-6 in both spin and spiral wrapped overhead models.

SALTIGA TOURNAMENT

The new range of SALTIGA Tournament rods offer some never-before-seen components into a production light tackle game rod.

The most noticeable feature of the new SALTIGA Tournament rods is the Winthrop Epic straight butt, the lightest straight butt on the market. Winthrop has partnered with Daiwa Australia to create a longer gimbal insert to accommodate the desires of top Sydney game angler’s who helped with the development of this series.

The blanks are constructed from Daiwa’s HVF Nanoplus graphite making the rods lightweight and responsive for best lure performance. Fuji Stainless Steel silicon carbide (SiC) guides make sure even the lightest of top shots are provided smooth and stable line flow through the guides.

Available in three actions catering to the light-tackle game market throughout Australia, the new SALTIGA Tournament rods are the perfect match to the SALTIGA Lever Drag reels and will be a welcome addition to many offshore angler’s arsenals.

Suitable For: Light/Heavy Tackle Game fishing with lures or live baits.

20 TOURNAMENT GAME

Designed to match the Saltiga Lever Drag range of conventional reels, Daiwa’s TOURNAMENT Game rods are designed to meet the demands of game anglers across Australia. TOURNAMENT Game delivers the most requested actions for light-tackle game fishing.

ELIMINATES BLANKTWIST

21 DEMON BLOOD

Daiwa’s Demon Blood range has been synonymous with the tough and often brutal fishing which Australia is so famous for. In 2021, Daiwa has redeveloped the Demon Blood to bring a new level of performance and expanded the range to cater for the ever-growing demand for sportfishing actions suitable for casting, or jigging for hard-fighting predators.

The first thing you’ll notice about the new Demon Blood is the return of the distinctive red colour. A throwback to the original series, the red area not only looks fantastic but signifies the section of the blank where Daiwa has included 3DX carbon. 3DX is Daiwa’s exclusive carbon technology which creates an interlocking weave of high-modulus carbon fibre which significantly increases torsional stiffness. The upgrades don’t stop there either, Daiwa’s new X45X Full Shield has been incorporated from where the 3DX finishes, throughout the entire rod blank. The next iteration from Daiwa’s famous X45, X45X Full Shield is up to 25% more efficient in its benefits of increased torsional stiffness and increased stiffness to weight ratio. That means the new Demon Bloods not only are lighter than their predecessors but will outperform them as well.

Fuji components outfit the new blanks with Alconite ringed stainless-steel guides and DPS reel seats with locking nuts across the range. A few key points of the new Demon Blood are the use of reversed MN frame guides as stripper guides and K’ series anti-tangle guides towards the tip sections.

If you’re looking for a new outfit to tame some monsters from the deep or maybe chase some addictive topwater action on the reef, look no further than the brand new, redeveloped range of Demon Blood rods from Daiwa.

Suitable for: Demon Blood rods have been expanded to cater for the growing demand of lure casting to pelagic species such as Mackerel, GT, Tuna and Kingfish with actions covering every conceivable requirement from all around the country.

SALTIST HYPER SJ

The brand-new Saltist Hyper range of specialist slow jig rods combine Daiwa’s HVF graphite with newly released X45X Full Shield technology to produce action and responsiveness that has to be seen to be believed. X45X Full Shield graphite increases torsional stiffness, which reduces blank twist under load. The reduction of blank twist and the improved responsiveness translate directly to a better action of your jig. Outfitted with Fuji stainless steel ‘O’ ring guides and Fuji reel seats, the new Saltist Hyper SJ exudes quality and refinement.

Made at the preferred 6’2” length for the optimum action, Saltist Hyper SJ is available in both overhead and spin in rods rated from PE2 all the way to PE6.

20 DB SOLID

DB Solid is the first Daiwa jigging rod to feature a solid carbon blank design, delivering an incredibly thin yet deceivingly powerful action.

Designed to accommodate the growing market of slow jigging. DB Solid features three overhead and three spinning models to perfectly cater to a wide range of jig weights and styles.

Featuring Fuji Alconite guides, and Fuji reel seats, DB Solid is outfitted with quality components you can trust when the pressure is on.

Suitable For: Anglers seeking hard core jigging rods or heavy tackle spin rods, to wrestle tackle busting speedsters.

OFFSHORE RODS

20 SALTIST HYPER

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 angler’s Australia wide relying on the rods during some of their most memorable moments on the water. 20 Saltist Hyper leverages all of Daiwa’s advancements in rod technology.

The blank of the 20 Saltist Hyper is where the bulk of the advancements have been made, X45X Full Shield’s ability to increase torsional stiffness works wonders on offshore rods, where casting performance using heavy weight 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 angler’s can see the distinct pattern that X45X Full Shield leaves behind. 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 reassures 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 ‘O’ ring guides and Fuji branded reel seats and butt caps.

The 20 Saltist Hyper brings with it a host of actions dedicated to the growth in the lure casting sportfishing market that is so prevalent in coastal Australian waterways. Whether its 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, there’s now a 20 Saltist Hyper for almost every conceivable mission.

21 SALTIGA SURF

There is no brand more synonymous with quality than Saltiga. After a long hiatus, Saltiga Surf returns with the introduction of a range of surf rods specifically designed for Australia and our varying requirements all across the country.

Built off a HVF Nanoplus graphite blank utilising the full gamut of Daiwa technology, Saltiga Surf incorporates full 3DX and X45X Full Shield graphite reinforcement throughout the entire blank length. This creates a surf rod with incredible casting distance, thanks to the unmatched responsiveness of the blank. 3DX and X45X enable the rod blank to recover from bent to straight much faster than rods without this technology, which makes Saltiga Surf some of the best distance casting rods available today.

Equipped with a combination guide train of Fuji Lowrider SiC guides on the butt sections and anti-tangle K series guides on the tips. Custom designed Daiwa reel seats, shrink wrap grips and adjustable weight butts finish off the build of what will be the flagship surf rod in the Daiwa range.

23 SEAJIGGER

Landbased shore-casting is an addictive game, and DAIWA’s SEAJIGGER is the perfect tool for the job. Upgraded & redeveloped for 2023, SEAJIGGER has never casted further, been as sensitive or looked this good in its long history. For the first time, DAIWA has equipped X45X FULL SHIELD technology into SEAJIGGER, further enhancing casting distance, something all SEAJIGGER models of the past have had high praise for.

Also new for the 23 SEAJIGGER is the distinctly red reel seat, a newlydeveloped DAIWA exclusive model which is more comfortable than traditional pipe reel seats used on previous models, the DAIWA reel seat is sleek and comfortable, and features an intergrated foregrip to make long fights comfortable if you really have to lean on the rod to stop a speeding fish.

If shore-casting is your preferred method to target iconic species such as Mulloway, then the new 23 SEAJIGGER should be a consideration when shopping for your next rod.

23 SENSOR SURF

A long-standing part of the Daiwa Australia range, SENSOR SURF has been totally re-developed from the ground up for 2023 and now features more tech & performance than ever before.

The new series incorporates DAIWA’s X45X Full Shield technology for the first time, and it is used throughout the entire length of the blank to maximise it’s affect. X45X Full Shield is the use of bi-axial 45 degree oriented carbon fibre on the outer-most layers of the rod blank, this graphite is used in conjunction with both 0 and 90 degree carbon on the inner layers of the blank to specifically reduce twisting.

Outfitting the 23 SENSOR SURF is a brand-new DAIWA exclusive reel seat, a more comfortable and ergonomic reel seat design which ensures both a secure hold when in use and streamlines the rear of the rod for a slimmer feel. If you’re on the hunt for a premium surf rod with all the bells & whistles, look no further than the brand-new 23 SENSOR SURF range.

20 SENSOR WAVE

Sensor Wave combines Japanese shore-jigging roots with Australian surf fishing culture to bring a series to anglers searching for affordable landbased action. Built around a BRAIDING-X blank, Sensor Wave rods are deceptively lightweight. The first three models excel at firing long casts with hard bodies, soft plastics and metal lures from beaches and breakwalls.

Daiwa’s 20 Crossfire Surf series is angling excellence at a price that everyone can enjoy.

Suitable For: Most light tackle shore based fishing from whiting in the southern estuaries to the hard fighting tailor and mulloway of South East Queensland’s beaches.

SEABORG

Seaborg Dendoh rods offer never before seen performance from a specialised dendoh rod in the Australian market. Leaving no stone unturned in the pursuit of the finest deep drop rods on the market, Daiwa utilised all the best components and technology to make the Seaborg rods worthy of their name.

Fuji stainless steel silicon carbide (SiC) guides offer unmatched heat dissipation, extremely important for extended drops under heavy load. Arguably the most noticeable part of the Seaborg rods is the Winthrop Terminator Adjusta-Butt. An adjustable bent butt which can be positioned straight for easy storage and travel bringing electric reels out of harmful saltwater spray when the boat is underway.

A heavy-duty ALPS swivel tip keeps braided line under control even in heavy seas and makes the Seaborg rods truly some of the best dendoh rods on the market today. If you’re looking for the perfect rod to match to your brand new Seaborg Megatwin electric reel, look no further than the matching Seaborg rods.

Suitable For: Fishing for blue eye cod, hapuka and other deep water species.

SEAPOWER

SEAPOWER sports a blank constructed from Daiwa’s GLATECH material, a combination of a carbon core wrapped perpendicular to the rod blank and longitudinal single axis fibreglass material which gives SEAPOWER the desired soft and shock absorbing nature. Since almost all fights are conducted with the rod in a gunwale rod holder, a softer blank action is desirable for electric rods.

X45X Full Shield is also utilised to further enhance the torsional stiffness, a key component to dendoh rods which further reduces blank twist and eliminates power loss during the fight.

Fuji Silicon Carbide SiC guides in a striking gold finish really set this rod out from the crowd. A heavy-duty ALPS swivelling roller tip controls the line from the tip preventing tangles and ensuring a perfect retrieve. A custom Daiwa bent butt has been designed which was about achieving the perfect length for each model of SEAPOWER rod.

SEAPOWER also boasts the B63-3/4 model which is a specific handheld electric rod designed for use with the newer generation smaller 300 size electric reels which are becoming popular in Australia.

TANACOM Z

A name synonymous with Daiwa electric rods and reels, TANACOM Z rods are a perfect match to the new TANACOM reels to offer a complete solution to dominate the deep.

TANACOM Z blanks are built using Daiwa’s GLATECH construction, a unique process which lays linear fibreglass sheet over a carbon blank to give the shock-absorbing nature of a fibreglass blank without the increase in weight and loss in sensitivity.

X45 technology is used on the carbon core blank where 45 degree carbon is laid in both directions to eliminate blank twisting which is important for dendoh rods in particular.

Fuji heavy-duty boat guides with their SiN II ceramic insert are both incredibly strong and smooth, capable of handling extreme pressure from heavy braided line over long drawn out fights from monsters of the deep. An ALPS heavy duty swivelling roller tip is also installed to control the line flow from the rod tip and minimise heat build-up as the line enters the guides.

A custom Daiwa bent butt is the perfect length to suit most Australian boats and two models in the range perfectly cater to the different fisheries from the east to the west.

TANACOM X

The entry level of the new TANACOM rod series, TANACOM X is a perfect blend of performance and value to give more angler’s access to the bountiful deep waters of Australia’s oceans.

Built on a composite graphite blank, TANACOM X exhibits a powerful but forgiving action suitable for turning bottom-hugging beasts like bar cod and bass without being a broom stick and risk pulling hooks when that fish takes the final lunge.

Adorned with a set of Seaguide heavy duty stainless steel frame guides, TANACOM X is capable of withstanding the heavy loads of repeated drops all day long. TANACOM X is available in both a matching Seaguide swivelling roller tip and standard heavy-duty tip guide to give angler’s more options.

TANACOM X is also available in a handheld specific B63-3/4 model which is designed to use with smaller 300 size dendoh reels which are becoming more popular in Australia.

BEEFSTICK Z

Tradition once again meets contemporary looks and styling with the release of the new Daiwa Beefstick Z range. An evolution of the popular Beefstick series, the new Z range once again features a composite graphite blank integrated with a traditional fiberglass tip, but takes it to another level with a new carbon outer scrim on the rod blank. This higher carbon design reduces blank weight to further enhance rod balance, feel and performance.

Fuji Fazlite guides provide ultimate connectivity between angler and fish, with their ultra-tough construction designed to stand up to the rough and tumble of fishing, yet still have the sensitivity to deliver angler’s unmatched feel for a rod of this price. Flat-top EVA grips blend perfectly with the Beefstick Z’s graphite reel seat, with their ultra-sensitive design delivering angler comfort and in-hand control.

A composite cork butt cap adds a classic look to the Beefstick Z’s traditional design, with its robust construction made to handle the knocks and bumps of life on and off the water.

If you’re looking for an evolution of the traditional fibreglass tipped rod of yesteryear look no further than the new Beefstick Z range.

Suitable For: Angler’s looking for a rod that can do it all. Beefstick Z has all the performance and durability you could ever want in a solid tip rod.

J-BRAID 8 EXPEDITION NEW

The #1 braided line brand in Australia just got even better, with the introduction of J-BRAID EXPEDITION.

Featuring the same IZANAS fibre construction that has made J-BRAID so popular, but now featuring Daiwa’s silicon “Coating PE” technology to create a slicker, smoother braid with hydrophobic properties that increases durability & enhances feel.

J-BRAID EXPEDITION’s silicon coating means the braid does not absorb any water, importantly this means the braid also does not absorb the silt & sediment present in that water which is the #1 cause of braided line wear over time. By shedding the water, J-BRAID EXPEDITION will last longer than traditional braided lines, providing more value & greater performance.

The benefits don’t stop there either; with an incredibly high weave count, J-BRAID EXPEDITION is braided tighter than almost any other line on the market, providing an incredibly round profile braid which will not separate and fray when in use.

Daiwa’s history of producing the finest braids on the market is only strengthened with the introduction of J-BRAID EXPEDITION.

Available in two colour options; a hi-vis orange & metered multi-colour in 150m, 300m, 500m and 3000m bulk spools in a full spectrum of PE ratings.

J-BRAID EXPEDITION is there to help you Be A Strong Fighter.

SALTIGA FC X-LINK LEADER

Saltiga FC X-Link (Cross Link) brings the advancements of X-Link technology to heavy fresh and saltwater angling arenas.

Daiwa’s Tough Resin paired with the X-Link process creates a supple yet extremely abrasion resistant Fluorocarbon leader that retains knot strength. The X-Link method alters the molecular structure of the line itself, bonding individual particles on a chemical level. This change in the chemical composition results in a line which is much stronger for its given diameter.

SALTIGA NYLON LEADER

“High knot strength” and “cushioning” are two of the key features of Saltiga Nylon allowing anglers to fish the line to its limit without fear of failure. Saltiga Nylon is the perfect leader for the offshore angler excelling in both popping/jigging and conventional bait fishing for everything from snapper through to red emperor.

J-THREAD FC X-LINK LEADER

J-Thread FC X-Link (Cross Link) FC is a totally revolutionary fluorocarbon line developed exclusively by Daiwa. The X-Link method alters the molecular structure of the line itself, bonding individual particles on a chemical level. This results in a line which is much stronger for its given diameter whilst still being incredibly limp and supple.

J-THREAD FC LEADER

J-Thread FC is a 100% fluorocarbon leader boasting high abrasion resistance and super-low memory. Made in Japan from the finest raw materials, J-Thread FC features a low-memory core, improving handling and improving knot performance.

J-THREAD FINESSE FC

J-Thread Finesse FC is a 100% fluorocarbon line made in Japan from the finest raw materials. Designed to be used “straight through” for light line applications where the shock absorbing nature, along with the completely invisible light refracting properties make fluorocarbon line the best choice for the discerning angler.

J-Thread Finesse FC is supple to handle, thanks to Daiwa’s DPLS parrallel spooling system. This results in an easy to handle, easy to control fluorocarbon line, whilst maintaining excellent abrasion resistance for its diameter. Marked with a sticker at 100m, J-Thread Finesse FC can perfectly spool two reels per spool.

J-THREAD NYLON

J-Thread Nylon is made in Japan to deliver a monofilament line that is extremely supple, with outstanding shock resistance and knot strength. J-Thread Nylon has been designed for the Australian market, where the use of straight-through nylon monofilament line is still popular. J-Thread Nylon is clear in colour, and comes parallel spooled to further reduce memory providing long smooth casting and tangle free use. Available in 6lb through to 50lb line weights,

DAIWA ELASTOMAX SOFT LURE

Bait Junkie is the culmination of many years of collaboration between Daiwa engineers from Japan and local Australian R & D teams. Developed specifically for Australian conditions, Bait Junkie is the furthest evolution of soft bait design, incorporating innovative material science with unique and functional 2D and 3D designs to release a full range of soft plastics that are just as effective as they are exciting.

ELASTOMAX MATERIAL INCREDIBLESTRETCH &DURABILITY

FLOATING MATERIAL

All Bait Junkie baits are made from Daiwa’s Elastomax material. A stretchy, durable and buoyant material, Elastomax allows for thinner designs without sacrificing strength, which results in significantly improved swimming action at slow speeds.

The buoyant nature of Elastomax also means baits will rest ‘tail-up’ when rigged on traditional jigheads. This gets the tail up off the bottom and into the current, meaning Bait Junkie baits swim even when you’re not retrieving them.

A natural based flavour and scent which masks any unnatural plastic odours or smells. The addition of AMINO-X means when fish bite, they hold on longer, giving angler’s more time to react and ultimately more fish in the boat.

NATURALFLAVOUR&SCENT

Bait Junkie baits and packs are also loaded with Shrimp Power-Oil, a powerful shrimp-based formula to make sure that the moment your lure hits the water it’s working.

It’s the small details that set Bait Junkie apart from the competition. When Bait Junkie baits are made, the mould is designed in such a way so the baits can be perfectly cut from the mould, making the fronts of each bait perfectly flat with no injection markings. This makes rigging Bait Junkie baits incredibly easy as they perfectly match to any jighead on the market. Speaking of rigging, all Bait Junkie baits have rigging lines to ensure you rig them straight and true every time. Even the packaging has been carefully planned, and includes a ‘clam’ style internal tray, meaning bent and kinked baits will be a thing of the past.

BAIT JUNKIE JIG HEAD

A project two and a half years in the making, Bait Junkie Jig Heads are finally here. Designed in collaboration between Daiwa Australia’s product development team, long-time Daiwa angler Kris Hickson and with input from Australian lure making stalwart Dan Stead. Bait Junkie Jig Heads offer a unique feature set which elevates performance for an oftenoverlooked category.

It all starts with the hook, and Bait Junkie Jig Heads are built around quality BKK hooks in combination with Daiwa’s SaqSas hook coating, a super-slippery Teflon like coating which increases penetrating power of the hook point providing a superior hook up ratio. Available in both a 2X strong BKK heavy wire and 0X BKK light wire hook, Bait Junkie Jig Heads come in almost 100 different shapes and sizes to perfectly cater to your chosen lure and depth of water.

The totally unique bait keeper is the first thing to stand out. A design which evolved over the best part of 18 months and over 25 different prototypes. The goal? To create a jig head bait keeper that performed exceptionally well with Daiwa’s stretchy ELASTOMAX material from their Bait Junkie soft plastics, eliminating the annoying occurrence of your plastic being pulled down over the keeper and balling up into a twisted mess.

The head design of the Bait Junkie Jig Head is a mostly cylinder-shaped concept with a flat back for optimal clean rigging and a flattened ‘chin’ which when used in combination with Daiwa’s buoyant ELASTOMAX material offers a ‘tail up’ posture when your bait comes to rest on the bottom, even in very hard bottom situations where a bullet shape head cannot.

The features don’t end there either, even the package has been carefully designed to offer both convenience and a longterm storage solution. Bait Junkie Jig Heads come in a resealable zip lock bag which is great to keep brand-new jig heads free from wet tackle boxes where rust can ruin hooks before they’ve ever been used. The sticker which indicates weight and size is also easily removable and can be re-attached to a tackle box or storage tray for easy identification when you’re carrying a box full of jig heads in your boat or bag.

FITTEDWITH BKKHOOKS SaqSas TECHNOLOGY

BAIT JUNKIE 2.5” GRUB

Arguably the most sought-after soft bait design in Australia right now, the humble single tail grub has come full circle. The first thing you’ll notice of the Bait Junkie 2.5” Grub is the orientation of the tail. By positioning the tip of the tail parallel with the body of the grub, there is no opposing forces from the water acting on the tail. This results in all of the water pressure hitting in the inside curl of the tail, forcing it to open up and produce that irresistible swimming action. One of the biggest benefits to the tail design of the 2.5” Grub is that it swims at much slower speeds, including on the drop using much lighter weight jig heads than the competition. The swimming action of the 2.5” Bait Junkie is simply outstanding and is one of the most popular shapes in the Bait Junkie line-up.

The 2.5” Grub features rigging lines top and bottom for those who prefer to rig tail up or down, and also features a handy DVEC logo printing on the side indicating a recommended trimming if you wish to use a slightly smaller profile bait in highly pressured situations. Now available in 20 fantastic colours including two-tone laminate options, the 2.5” Grub is perfectly suited to chasing all sorts of species in both fresh and saltwater.

The Bait Junkie 2.5” Grub comes with 8 pieces per pack.

BAIT JUNKIE 2.5” MINNOW

The fastest growing bait profile in the finesse angling community right now, the bite-sized boot tail swimbait is fast becoming a go-to for many angler’s chasing bream, bass, flathead and more.

The Bait Junkie 2.5” Minnow is the first design which incorporates Bait Junkie’s signature ‘slim waist’ design principle. This waist section segments the body into two parts, allowing the tail to move freely and thanks to the Elastomax construction, durability of the bait is a non-concern. A broad boot tail is connected to a thin tail wrist which delivers an insanely high-pitch vibration, capable of calling in predatory fish from long distances. The soft nature of Elastomax also means the 2.5” Minnow is capable of fishing on very light jig heads, still maintaining an enticing swimming action whilst sinking even when rigged on lightweight heads around 1/16oz.

Featuring rigging lines on the top for easy straight rigging, the Bait Junkie 2.5” Minnow comes in 24 different colours to suit both fresh and saltwater. With an assortment of solid and two-tone laminate colours there is sure to be one that suits any situation you may encounter.

The Bait Junkie 2.5” Minnow comes with 8 pieces per pack.

2.5” MINNOW

BAIT JUNKIE 3” WAVE MINNOW

The new Bait Junkie WAVE MINNOW’s unique ‘Wave’ shaped tail produces action at the slowest speeds, making it incredibly effective when fish are shut down and lethargic.

The upwards flick at the end of the curl tail catches the water as the lure is retrieved, forcing the tail open resulting in a tantalising curl tail action estuary species simply can’t ignore. A longer thinner profile curl tail can imitate a host of popular bait profiles in the estuary like shrimps, prawns, fish or even worms. Produced from Daiwa’s Elastomax buoyant material this causes the tail to sit up off the bottom, also when fishing in the current it means that the lure is working for you even when standing still.

The Bait Junkie 3” Wave Minnow comes with 8 pieces per pack.

BAIT JUNKIE 295 FLICK

Daiwa’s BAIT JUNKIE range of soft plastics continues to grow with the introduction of the new 295 Flick.

A diminutive 2.95” (70mm) single tail flickbait, the 295 Flick was designed to be fished on a light jighead. Targeting shallow water and flicked off the bottom to imitate a small shrimp or baitfish which has darted up off the bottom and is then gliding back down.

The unique ‘Shovel’ tail was developed by Daiwa Australia to aid in the gliding motion of the bait on the fall, by pulling the tail upwards as it sinks This will force the body to gently meander back to the bottom where nearby predatory fish will strike. Made from Daiwa’s Elastomax material to offer buoyancy & stretch, the 295 Flick is a great addition to your soft plastics arsenal.

The Bait Junkie 295 Flick comes with 8 pieces per pack.

BAIT JUNKIE 3” PRAWN

Arguably the #1 bait source in coastal estuary systems, there’s not many fish that will turn their nose up at a wellpresented prawn.

The new Bait Junkie 3” Prawn has been developed to mimic a prawn’s natural movements. The three segment body design aids in a natural sink, where the tail can splay and produce a natural gliding sink back to the bottom. The forwardfacing legs derive from the 295 Flick’s tail design and have been adjusted to produce a subtle shimmy action on the retrieve to emulate the natural quivering movement of prawn’s legs.

Designed to be fished with a hopping style retrieve emulating a prawn fleeing from the bottom. The new Bait Junkie Prawn will undoubtedly become a staple in the range and a favourite in all anglers’ boxes throughout Australia. The Bait Junkie 3” Prawn comes with 6 pieces per pack.

BAIT JUNKIE 3.2” MINNOW

The upsize offering from the 2.5” minnow, the 3.2” version is a juiced-up swimbait ready to catch anything that swims in either salt or freshwater.

A slightly thicker body can accept larger hooks and larger bait keepers, and the slightly bigger boot tail produces an almighty thump to attract predators in deep or dirty water. The same signature ‘slim waist’ design is prominent in this bait and delivers a swimming action that is unmatched by more traditional swimbait profiles.

Now available in 16 fantastic colours in a mix of solid and two-tone laminate injections, the 3.2” Minnow is the ‘allrounder’ of the Bait Junkie range. Featuring rigging lines on the top for easy rigging, this is the bait to reach for when chasing flathead in the estuaries or Australian bass in the rivers of coastal NSW.

BAIT JUNKIE 4” GRUB

A single tail grub can be deadly on Snapper and other saltwater predatory fish, and the Bait Junkie 4” Grub is ready to take on the challenge.

The first thing you’ll notice is the tail design of the 4” Grub differs to the parallel tail of the smaller 2.5” size. This is because a 4” Grub is more often fished with heavier weight heads and doesn’t have the same requirement of incredibly slow swim speeds on the fall. As larger sized baits tend to be used in deeper water or dirtier water chasing more estuarine sportfish species, the rolled over tail design of the 4” Grub creates more disturbance in the water, allowing predators to key in on the bait even when the water is not clear.

Once again, a rigging line is prominent on both the top and bottom sides of the body for those who prefer a tail up or down rigging method. Now available in 12 great colours the Bait Junkie 4” Grub is an ideal choice for shallow water snapper, estuarine flathead and many more species throughout Australia.

The Bait Junkie 4” Grub comes with 5 pieces per pack.

BAIT JUNKIE JERKSHAD (5” & 7”)

One of the more difficult bait styles from which to stand out from the crowd. The Bait Junkie Jerkshads’ exhibit some of the most incredible swimming action ever witnessed from a ‘fluke’ style bait.

The Bait Junkie ‘slim waist’ design principle is very evident in the Jerkshad, with the prominent waist section segmenting the bait into two separate parts. The vertical fluke tail exaggerates the hinge-like effect of the body producing an incredible ‘S’ wave swimming motion which is rivaled by no other. A belly slit enables weedless rigging with an EWG style weighted hook and is the rigging method of choice when you want to keep the bait up high in the water column. Once again, the colour range is extensive, with 18 colours incorporating both UV and Glow there is sure to be a colour which catches your eye!

BAIT JUNKIE 4.2” MINNOW

The Bait Junkie 4.2” minnow adopts a new shape and a slightly different material to produce an epic action that is deadly in salt and freshwater.

The deeper body enables flexibility for rigging options and helps promote the rolling action that makes this bait so successful. The big boot tail produces a heavy thump to call in nearby predators and will work at low and high speed making it incredibly versatile. The defining ‘slim waist’ design is prominent once again enabling the tail to flex and twist independently as the bait tracks perfectly through the water column.

Available in 14 effective and proven fish catching colours the 4.2” Minnow is the ‘estuary powerhouse’ of the Bait Junkie range. Featuring rigging lines on the top for easy rigging, this is the bait to reach for when chasing mangrove jack in the snags or canals or big flathead in the estuaries.

The Bait Junkie 4.2” Minnow comes with 5 pieces per pack.

4.2” MINNOW

BAIT JUNKIE 6.2” MINNOW

The up size version from the 4.2” minnow, the 6.2” minnow is perfect large swimbait to tempt big predators to strike. The versatile swimming action which is so evident in the 4.2” version is only increased in the 6.2” model. The longer body and extra girth create the ideal profile and when paired with the rolling/thumping swimming action it is the perfect imitation for large baitfish. The big boot tail will work at very slow speeds enabling the angler to “slow roll” for barramundi, mulloway and makes an excellent trailer when targeting big murray cod. Rigged on a standard jighead or weighted weedless the 6.2” minnow will swim on the drop and has been accounting for an incredible amount of fish as it swims down on a pause.

The incorporated belly slit makes weedless rigging easy and the extra meat behind the “slim waist” is the perfect spot to pin a stinger hook to maximise your catch.

BAIT JUNKIE RISKY CRITTER

The Bait Junkie Risky Critter is the brainchild of Daiwa’s Tom Slater, and Kris Hickson. Developed over a period of two years, the Risky Critter is everything that they wanted merged into a compact creature bait. Designed with not just bream fishing in mind, the Risky Critter is just big enough to be a bite sized meal for Australian Bass or Yellowbelly in our freshwater rivers and lakes, it can also be trimmed down to turn it into a deadly trout nymph! The combination of forward and rear facing legs give the perfect ‘quivering’ action whilst sinking on light jigheads, with the claws and wings also providing that subtle kick to draw bites. The two main curl tail legs off the back of the body are designed to work as the bait is hopped off the bottom, as a signal to nearby predators there is something to eat nearby. The Bait Junkie Risky Critter comes with 6 pieces per pack.

KOHGA BAYRUBBER FREE

KOHGA or ‘Red Fang’ is the culmination of 50 years of Japanese lure development. KOHGA’s advanced hydrodynamic design through extensive field testing, results in the most technically advanced Tairubber to hit the Australian market.

Through thorough research, Daiwa lure engineers discovered Snapper especially have difficulty tracking a stationary object, and rely heavily on movement to identify depth perception. By separating the head, skirt and hook, all components can move freely and independently, allowing them to move freely without restriction. KOHGA’s head design is unique and unmatched, the polished ceramic tube through the head exhibits an incredibly smooth surface which won’t damage even the finest of fluorocarbon leaders.

The keel design on the bottom of the head increases stability, while the reversible head design allows the angler

to cater to varying fishing scenarios. The sliding skirt has also been beefed up for Australian conditions, with each component being bound and glued in place ensuring maximum durability.

The KOHGA assist features upgraded heavy-duty hooks with SaqSas coating to aid in penetration power, while the unique fluorocarbon core Kevlar assist maintains the correct posture during the retrieve. KOHGA represents a truly unique Tairubber, the first sliding design on the market to be specifically made and adapted for Australian heavy-duty conditions.

EMERALDAS PEAK

The premium offering in our squid jig range the new Emeraldas Peak is the most refined and technically advanced jig that we’ve ever created. A high-end premium cloth covered construction the Emeraldas Peak has been designed and tuned for optimum balance and performance. The key evolution in design is an improvement in weight balance, with this enhanced balance delivering many benefits. The first noticeable change is a reduction in lure resistance through the water, and the second the ability to work the lure with greater ease. A small twitch rather than a more traditional rip or lift is all that’s

Available #3.0 and #3.5 sizes in rattling (RV model) and non-rattling versions, the Emeraldas Peak features a newly designed

EMERALDAS NUDE

Emeraldas Nude is a visual and action jig, its unique lifelike pattern design and smooth body is designed to attract a squid by sight and action. Its smooth body design allows the lure to dart and slide effortlessly through the water. It’s a complete eging system that features attachment points designed to be used in conjunction with the Agorig Sinker system and the EG-Snap, which allows for changes in sink speed, depth and angle. By attaching the Agorig sinker to the keel eye the jig will glide slowly at a 30-45 degree angle, but when attached to an EG-Snap the lure will sink rapidly at a 75 degree angle. This is ideal for deep water or fast current situations.

DOUBLE CLUTCH 60SP/75SP/95SP

A jerkbait with few peers, the Double Clutch continues to set the standard as the ultimate suspending twitchbait. Highly regarded by bream anglers in Victoria and Tasmania, and flathead and impoundment bass anglers in Queensland and New South Wales, the Double Clutch is the lure that continues to set the standard in jerkbait performance time and time again. Featuring Daiwa’s unique Silent Gravity Oscillation System (S-GOS), the Double Clutch casts like a bullet for effortless, trouble free casting, while on the retrieve its twitching and darting action works from the very first twitch courtesy of its innovative tungsten sliding weight transfer system. The Double Clutch’s unique bib design and slender profile causes the lure to track straight and deep, a trait that can be hard to find in a slim profiled jerkbait.

While bold in action, the Daiwa Double Clutch is reserved in sound, with its internal dampening washers keeping lure noise to a minimum to enhance finesse appeal. Hooks have been upgraded, with the 75mm and 95mm Double Clutches now featuring Owner ST-36BC trebles. It’s hard to improve on perfection, but with the restyled and revamped Daiwa Double Clutch we think we’ve done it.

With the addition of 5 new colours to the range in 2022/23, there are now 30 colours in the range to make sure there is a Double Clutch to suit every situation.

DOUBLE CLUTCH BARRA TUNE (115SP / 115SP EXDR)

There’s no doubt the demands of Barramundi anglers ask a lot of the tackle they use, with many lures on the market falling short of the durability required to be a go-to lure for northern anglers. That’s why when making the Double Clutch 115SP &115SP EXDR, Daiwa engineers started from scratch, and focused on producing a lure which could emulate the action of the smaller Double Clutch series but incorporate a solid strong through-wire system. One of the keys behind Double Clutch is the Silent Gravity Oscillating System (S-GOS) casting mechanism. A sounddampened casting weight which is held in place by magnets to perfectly balance casting distance and swimming posture and action, without making the lure incredibly loud underwater. This system makes Double Clutch 115 fly straight and true, whilst retaining an almost silent appeal under the surface, something many clued on Barramundi anglers swear by. Incorporating the through-wire system with a heavy-duty body construction, Double Clutch 115 is ready to meet the challenge. Fitted with BKK treble hooks and strong split rings, there’s no need for aftermarket tuning to make this lure ready for battle.

INFEET KODACHI 40SF

The Infeet Kodachi 40 SF is a slow floating subtle finesse shad shape crankbait which excels when fish are skittish, whether in clear water or still conditions. Kodachi’s thin round lip bib provides an immediate action, even at slow speeds, but thanks to its shad shape profile, a tight action is still retained when retrieved with a slow roll.

Kodachi is equipped with a magnetic cast weight system. By fitting a small magnet and sliding weight in the head of the lure, Kodachi shifts to bulk of its mass to the tail when casting for long, accurate casts. But when cranked down, the sliding weight is locked in place by the magnet, ensuring that the tight and stable action is consistent. Kodachi is an ideal bait for flats and shallow/floating structure such as boats, pontoons, weedbeds and rock bars.

INFEET SAZANAMI

LONGACCURATECASTS

The INFEET SAZANAMI 60SP is a shallow running suspending jerkbait perfectly suited to targeting the shallow waters of our lakes and rivers. Measuring 60mm long and weighing 3.5g, the INFEET SAZANAMI suspends in freshwater and floats very slowly in saltwater. Diving to a max depth of 4ft, the INFEET SAZANAMI is the go-to choice when fishing super skinny water for predatory species like Bream, Whiting, Flathead and Bass. It’s slim body profile and short bib combined with Daiwa’s S-GOS (Silent Gravity Oscillation System) weight transfer system to produce a truly un-matched darting action. The S-GOS system also enables SAZANAMI to cast long distances, converting more bites from spooky fish in shallow water.

INFEET ROLLIN’ CRANK MR/DR

The Infeet Rollin’ Crank is the ultimate finesse crank and was developed to give anglers a bite size option to tie on when the bite is tough.

Available in two depths and measuring in at 32mm the Rollin’ Crank is the perfect bait for Australia’s diverse estuaries.

The MR will reach a depth of 1.3m and is the ideal bait for flats and shallow/floating structure. Getting down to depth quickly with a tight wobble and the ability to swim at slow speed make the MR Crank ideal for a ‘Slow Roll’ Style retrieve.

The DR is a tailor-made bait for fishing deeper areas of the estuary such as rubble and rock walls. A careful weight placement creates instant traction on the retrieve getting the DR Crank to it’s 2m depth quickly. The bib shape creates a ‘searching’ style action and deflects off structure with ease, a key factor in triggering bites from predators.

The Infeet Rollin’ Crank may be small in size but it is a consistent catcher of large fish and is a worthy addition to any estuary angler’s tacklebox.

PRESSO MINNOW 95SP

Built for ultimate performance, the Presso Minnow 95SP darts through the water with an erratic action that is bursting with flash and vibration. Precise bib design and a slender profile causes the lure to track straight even when ripped, making this one of the best shallow jerk baits around. Featuring Daiwa’s Silent Gravity Oscillation system (S-GOS), the lure is optimised to achieve long, accurate, bullet like casts yet is balanced and creates a knocking tone as it moves through the water.

Designed for fast actioned twitching and jerking the Presso Minnow 95SP dives down to 1 metre. Offered in a number of brilliant finishes, the Presso Minnow 95F is the perfect lure for chasing everything from trout and bass in rivers and lakes to flathead and mangrove jacks in the estuaries.

PRESSO MINNOW 60F

Handmade in Japan to the highest standards, these lures feature 3D realistic eyes, ultra-sharp chemically sharpened trebles and are painted internally with chip proof paint for a lifelike finish. At 3.2g and mimicking a small baitfish, Presso Minnow 60F is 60mm long, has a slender profile with a tight wobble and dives to a handy 1m depth. The tail weighted lure casts extremely well and can be twitched, slow rolled or ripped erratically. When paused, Presso Minnow 60F has a slow floating presentation and is versatile and deadly on bream, bass and trout.

SILVERCREEK DR MINNOW II / DR MINNOW JOINT II

Daiwa’s DR Minnow range of trout lures receives a facelift and a fresh look with the introduction to the SilverCreek family. The new SilverCreek DR Minnow II boasts 3 models within the range, a 42mm and 50mm sinking minnow perfect for fast flowing streams & rivers, and a 70mm floating minnow targeting the larger water looking for that big bite.

The two-piece sister model to the DR Minnow II, the Joint version gives that tantalising tail action only made possible with jointed lures. Like the single piece model, the DR Minnow Joint II is available in 3 sizes, a 42 and 50mm sinking profile and a 70mm floating profile to cover all areas a cunning trout may call home. Fish the SilverCreek DR Minnow II & DR Minnow Joint II with a steady retrieve or a subtle jerk to entice trout hiding in streams, rivers or lakes and watch them come alive.

A host of new colours in the range, all purpose designed for Australian conditions make the new DR Minnow II & DR Minnow Joint II one of the most well-crafted trout lure ranges available. Fitted with BKK Spear 21SS treble hooks straight out of the pack means you can get straight into the action.

STEEZ SOFT SHELL 90

The STEEZ Soft Shell is a uniquely designed soft vibration bait developed in Australia to offer a never before seen take on the soft vibration segment.

Designed with two crawfish like appendages to add a unique action as the lure sinks to the bottom, the Soft Shell will rest with the claws up thanks to the standup design of the head and the buoyant nature of the material.

Designed to be fished close to the bottom with either a hopping or shaking retrieve, the Soft Shell excels targeting our freshwater predator species such as Yellowbelly, Barra, Australian Bass and more. In saltwater, it draws strikes from prawn feeding species such as Flathead, Mulloway and Snapper.

The STEEZ Soft Shell can be rigged numerous ways and comes standard with both stinger hooks and BKK Fang treble hooks in the pack.

STEEZ METAL VIB

Adding to the already successful range of Steez baits, the Steez Blade isn’t going to disappoint with many features that make it stand apart from the competition.

The ultra-thin body gives maximum vibration whilst maintaining a tight compact action. Placing the majority of the weight forward on the head means this blade can be worked with either a slow roll or hopping action with minimal rod movement needed to get it to start vibrating. In conjunction with its straight, shimmy on the drop, this versatile bait is dynamite for species like Bass, Bream and Yellowbelly. With 90% of bites coming on the fall, it was crucial to our product development team to produce a blade with the correct falling action. The tow point has been specifically located on the bait for all styles of retrieves in mind.

Coming in three sizes 3.5g, 5g and 7g, and four colours specifically designed for our Australian species and conditions there will be a blade in the range that will suit your style of fishing.

STEEZ BULL FROG

The hole in the water a Murray Cod makes when it implodes on a topwater lure is a thrill only those who have witnessed it can appreciate. The new STEEZ BULL FROG is a mega-sized hollow body frog jointly developed between Daiwa teams in Japan, USA & Australia to cater for chasing trophy sized fish on the surface.

There are few lures that can be placed and fished through water like a hollow body frog, and this is really where this lure comes to life. Walking tight creeks & rivers with nasty overhangs and trash mats piled on the water’s surface is no match. The large profile and heavy weight of the BULL FROG will allow anglers to gently walk the lure over and around structure, and pausing when it reaches an opening just waiting for that explosion.

Fitted with a high-quality custom made double frog hook that are more than capable of handling metre plus trophy cod there is no lure more fun to fish than a frog, and there’s none with the presence of the new STEEZ BULL FROG.

STEEZ SPINNERBAIT

The STEEZ Spinnerbait builds on the premium STEEZ brand. It all starts with a thin tapered wire and thin premium tandem Colorado and Willow leaf blades. Thinner blades turn more easily, and therefore can be worked slower than many others. The thin tapered wire vibrates more, to increase the pulsing action of the bait underwater. Hand tied skirts mean there is no rubber band to deteriorate over time, meaning your skirt will stay perfect for the life of the lure. A premium SaqSas hook penetrates easily, ensuring solid hook-ups. The STEEZ Spinnerbaits are a premium Japanese offering, which live up to their reputation, available in 3/8oz and 1/2oz sizes.

STEEZ ASROC SPINNERBAIT

Featuring the advanced design and detail we’ve come to love and expect from Steez products, the ASROC spinnerbait has an ultra-strong construction, is built on one of Daiwa’s legendary super sticky SaqSas hooks and features double-bound and glued hand-tied skirts. In contrast to the original Steez Spinnerbait the new ASROC models deliver a higher level of vibration through the water, with a double Colorado blade configuration increasing blade and bait pulse and vibration. A characteristic that is tailor made for dirty water and for vibration and flash loving species such as yellowbelly, murray cod and sooty grunter.

STEEZ COVER CHATTER

The STEEZ Cover Chatter is an Australian Bass’ worst enemy! STEEZ Cover Chatters feature a very thin blade, which reduces drag in the water allowing the blade to vibrate at a higher frequency and also much faster, meaning you can retrieve these baits slower than many others on the market. A thin fibre weed guard helps resist snagging, allowing anglers to fish a chatterbait in thick cover and vegetation. A hand tied skirt means there is no rubber band to deteriorate over time, allowing your skirt to stay perfectly aligned for the life of the lure. A SaqSas hook aids in turning timid bites into solid hook-ups. Steez Cover Chatters are available in 1/4oz and 3/8oz sizes.

RETROFIT ASSIST HOOKS

Daiwa’s Retrofit Assist Hooks are a perfect replacement choice for hardbody lures to increase your hook up rate and entice a bite from fussy fish. Upgrading the rear treble to assists on topwater lures such as INFEET Slippery Dog 65F/80F and vibrations like Steez Metal Vib (All Sizes) and Steez Soft Shell 90 will help you catch more fish.

Each assist comes with a pair of super sharp SaqSas hooks perfectly suited for freshwater and estuary species such as Bass, Yellowbelly, Perch, Whiting and Bream. An oval shaped split ring is also fitted to allow the assist hooks to swing freely and perform flawlessly without affecting the lures action.
