New saltiga rods
Submitted by fisharoo on Wed, 2016-06-08 12:34
i have a couple of the previous saltiga rods which I rate highly. But with most things I found most of the newer rods compared to the older generations have replaced great components with OK ones. With the sales coming up I'm thinking of picking up a new model saltiga rod. After doing some research, I'm still wondering if the new ones have titanium guides?
Does anyone know for sure what type of guides they use? I'm very sure the model I have atm has the titanium sic ones as mentioned in the Daiwa site.
thanks

Just looked at the new rods this evening
They have sic k frame guides but I doubt they are titanium anymore.
They also seemed somewhat cheaper made than the previous top end saltiga rods. I actually liked the look of the saltiga black rods as opposed to the new $750 saltiga rods, and the black series is a couple of hundred cheaper.

2016 saltiga rod range
Hi guys. Picked up the new combi jerk and felt awesome to be honest. Recently picked up a mint 3500 saltiga game reel and will be pairing it with the combi. Older range of rods were great too. Cheers
