Series Overview

One-of-a-Kind Comfort: Low-Elasticity Jigging Rods

The SALTIGA J LOW RESPONSE is a specialized low-elasticity jigging rod series boasting exceptional suppleness and outstanding jig action control.

While retaining the flexible, highly comfortable, and fatigue-reducing characteristics inherent in low-response blanks, DAIWA's proprietary engineering injects superb responsiveness and high sensitivity. The high-torque, moderate-tension HVF Nanoplus blank is structurally reinforced with X45 Full Shield. Furthermore, by equipping carbon-frame AGS guides from the tip to the belly section, the rod achieves effortless jig manipulation and crisp feedback.

With the integration of the custom ZERO-SEAT, hand fatigue is minimized, leading to a massive boost in ergonomics. By meticulously optimizing every part—blanks, guides, and reel seats—we have created a low-response jigging rod so comfortable, you'll want to keep jerking all day long.

DAIWA Technologies

• AGS (Air Guide System)

  

  A revolutionary guide system featuring lightweight, rigid carbon frames. Because carbon is roughly 3 times stiffer than titanium, it does not absorb subtle vibrations traveling down the line, transmitting them directly into the blank for extreme sensitivity. Additionally, the lightweight nature of carbon boosts rod recovery speed and accelerates tip stabilization during jerking.

• X45 FULL SHIELD

  

  An advanced reinforcing structure that completely neutralizes blank twisting during casting, jigging, hooksetting, and fighting. By wrapping a 45° carbon bias cross sheet over the outermost layer—stretching all the way from the tip where twisting is most severe—it drastically increases torsional rigidity, drawing out the absolute maximum performance inherent in the blank.

• ZERO-SEAT

  

  A revolutionary reel seat design philosophy aimed at eliminating stress, allowing anglers to focus entirely on the pure joy of offshore fishing with maximum ergonomic comfort.

• HVF NANOPLUS

  

  By reducing the amount of resin and packing carbon fibers tightly, high-density HVF carbon optimizes the blank for strength and muscle-like tenacity. Combining Toray Industries' Nanoalloy® technology with DAIWA’s manufacturing methods further reduces weight while increasing structural integrity.

Product Details

• Low-Elasticity Blanks Fusing Suppleness and Power

  

  Low-modulus materials deliver a remarkably smooth, comfortable jerking feel, reducing fatigue during marathon offshore sessions and supporting steady, rhythmic jig actions. At the same time, the HVF Nanoplus and X45 Full Shield construction ensures you have the backbone to go head-to-head with hard-fighting pelagics. This is the ultimate tool for perfecting the "one-pitch jerk," making jigs dance in an incredibly natural, swimming manner.

• Lightweight, High-Sensitivity AGS Tip Guides

  

  In jigging tactics where the rod is in constant motion, shedding weight from the tip is paramount. Employing lightweight, hyper-sensitive AGS guides in the tip section delivers razor-sharp control and a crisp jerking feel. Conversely, heavy-duty stainless/titanium frame metal guides are purposefully retained at the butt section to ensure worry-free reliability under extreme loads.

• Newly Developed Reel Seats (RS)

  

  • Spinning Models: Equipped with the newly developed ZERO-SEAT Power Jerk, designed for seamless, secure compatibility with large 8000-class spinning reels.
  • Baitcasting Models: Equipped with the ZERO-SEAT Comfort Trigger, matching perfectly with mid-sized overhead/baitcasting reels. Both configurations feature highly ergonomic hand contacts that prevent pain and fatigue.

Item Lineup (Model Descriptions)

Spinning Models

• 64S-2.5 (Light Versatile Model)
