Daiwa Saltiga C Dogfight Spin Rod

The Daiwa Saltiga C Dogfight Spin Rod is a purpose-built weapon for serious saltwater anglers targeting powerful species like Giant Trevally, Yellowfin Tuna, and Kingfish. Designed in collaboration with Daiwa’s expert Iichiro Sato, the Dogfight series is engineered for single angler battles with hard-fighting pelagic fish, delivering the ideal blend of power, casting performance, and recovery speed.

Featuring Daiwa’s most advanced blank technologies — including HVF (High Volume Fibre) graphite, X45X Full Shield, and V-Joint Alpha — the Dogfight provides exceptional torsional stiffness, blank integrity, and seamless load distribution. These features translate to greater casting distance, improved fighting leverage, and reduced angler fatigue during extended battles.

Fitted with ultra-durable Fuji Titanium frame guides for maximum corrosion resistance and minimal line friction, this premium rod ensures superior performance in tropical bluewater environments. Whether you're casting big stickbaits to busting tuna or working poppers over reef ledges for GTs, the Saltiga C Dogfight is designed to help you land your biggest fish yet.
