Daiwa Saltiga Frother 170F Rigged

A high-impact surface popper built to call up aggressive predators like GT, kingfish and tuna with explosive bubble trails and irresistible surface commotion.

The Daiwa Saltiga Frother 170F is a premium big-game surface popper engineered for serious offshore anglers chasing powerful pelagic predators. Designed for maximum presence and attraction, this floating lure produces a dense stream of fine bubbles and surface disturbance when worked, creating a highly visible and audible target that triggers aggressive surface strikes.

At the heart of the Frother’s design is a carefully refined popper cup that has been repeatedly tested and tuned to produce the perfect density of bubbles when pulled subsurface. These micro bubbles not only simulate feeding activity but also blur the lure’s silhouette, making it harder for wary fish to inspect closely before committing to the attack.

The large cupped face also produces a distinctive popping sound similar to the noise of feeding predators, allowing the lure to call fish from significant distances. This combination of sound, bubble trails and visual flash creates a powerful search lure capable of drawing strikes even when fish are scattered across wide areas.

Many colour patterns also incorporate Daiwa’s advanced Laser Impact reflective technology, which produces intense lifelike flashes that mimic the scales of fleeing baitfish. Combined with excellent long-distance casting ability and a stable floating posture, the Saltiga Frother 170F allows anglers to cover large areas of water and maintain an aggressive surface presentation.

Whether you’re targeting giant trevally over reef edges, kingfish around offshore structure or tuna feeding on surface bait schools, the Saltiga Frother 170F delivers the power, sound and visibility needed to trigger explosive surface bites.
