Topwater Set spooled with braid and includes a Daiwa Topwater Lure!
The Reel
After nearly half a century of reliability the original legend returns, the new 2016 BG. Daiwa's newest heavy-duty super reel gives rise to spin excellence that is unrivalled in design, performance and quality.
BG's aluminium body and side plate creates a reel body that is precision machined, and highly corrosion resistant, making it the ultimate body for the offshore environment. Rigid, strong and highly durable the unyielding body allows for seamless gear function and prevents twisting when the reel is under load and results in greater cranking force.
Reaping the full protection and strength benefits of the new body is technologically advanced Digigear system. A highly evolved drive system, Digigear features a high precision cutting technique that achieves perfect gear meshing and ultra smooth performance.
Daiwa's new drag, ATD implements structural changes to the spool metal of the reel that provides greater support of the spool across the entire length of the main shaft. This additional support of the spool reduces spool twist under load, promotes more even wear of the drag washers and ultimately reduces pulsing of the drag when fighting the fish.
Combined with new improved drag grease that exhibits a low viscosity at rest, yet becomes more viscous immediately after drag startup. This reduces initial drag startup inertia and combined with the structural changes of the ATD Drag System results in a smoother drag from the initial hook up.
For ultimate strength and rotation, BG uses our latest version of Air Rotor, this super strong light rotor is like no other - a new revolution in strength and sensitivity. This design disperses pressure to the entire lower section of the rotor, dramatically decreasing weight, stress and flexing while massively increasing the strength.
Big on looks and big on features, the all-new, all-black and gold BG offers up a powerful combination of performance, strength and reliability in one of Daiwa's most renowned names in heavy duty spin reels.

The Rod
he heart of TD Saltwater begins with Daiwa’s BRAIDING-X graphite technology, a graphite tape which is applied to the butt section of the blank. Wrapping in this style adds a level of stiffness and rigidity to the overall blank construction without the added weight and diameter of a whole extra layer of the HSD graphite cloth.
BRAIDING-X is used for the bottom half of the blank’s construction, delivering improved lifting power and ultimately higher strength.
TD Saltwater’s actions are tried and tested around the country, featuring jigging and boat-fishing specific models, a number of actions for fishing lures and soft plastics on reefs chasing snapper and pelagic species, and new actions specially designed for the growth in TaiRubber fishing, using lures like Daiwa's KOHGA to chase Snapper and other bottom-dwelling reef species.
Outfitting TD Saltwater is Fuji’s Corrosion Control (BC) ‘O’ ring guides. When it comes to durable and affordable guide solutions, Fuji’s O ring leaves all others behind. Slimline EVA two-tone grips make TD Saltwater stand out from the crowd, and are a class act paired with almost any large size spinning reel.

Lure
The SALTIGA Dive Star is the result of two years of design, prototyping, and testing by lure designers and field testers in Japan. SALTIGA Dive Star is born through the uncompromising spirit of development, in search for the upper limits of what is possible with a plastic diving pencil.
Swimming action is effortless, the flat section of the head realizes ideal diving action with simple rod work, even with a strong and rough jerk action it is difficult to pull the lure out of the water. The side surfaces of the lure create a strong vibration which effectively calls fish to the surface even if they are sitting at depth. The sliding motion immediately after manipulating the lure puts it in a position to be easily cut off by the target.
The lure comes standard with heavy-duty split rings and thick shaft #4/0 treble hooks. These are a rust-resistant TIN plated hook designed to handle unexpected large fish. The #4/0 treble hook is recommended for the best compromise between lure movement and stability.
SALTIGA Dive Star is ideal for targeting pelagic species such a Yellowtail Kingfish, Tuna, and Giant Trevally.
