Daiwa 26 Saltist Hyper Spin Rod

Continuing the tradition of delivering anglers the perfect balance between value and performance the 2026 Saltist Hyper series takes a step forward, leveraging many of Daiwa’s advancements in rod technology to elevate the range to a new level of design and performance.

HVF Nanoplus and X45 blank technologies are the foundation of the new range, with the combination resulting in a blank that is light and sensitivity yet able to handle the stresses and loads of saltwater fishing while never compromising performance.

Blank performance and strength are further enhanced with the 2-piece models in the range featuring Daiwa’s V-Joint technology. V-Joint features a bias wrap construction within the ferrule to eliminate weakness and flat spots in the joint. The result is a two-piece rod that’s as strong and acts just like a one-piece.

The new Saltist Hyper range welcomes Complete Control Grips to the line-up, with its unique ‘angler focused’ grip and hold design enhancing the angler’s grip comfort and control. The foregrip features a uniquely shaped trigger that allows the angler’s finger to rest perfectly on the trigger when locked into a fight

With nearly 20 models in the range and a diverse range of tapers designed for a variety of Australian species, techniques, and styles of fishing the 26 Saltist Hyper series is a line-up designed to perform and built to last.

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 a 26 Saltist Hyper for almost every conceivable mission.
