Daiwa Saltist Hyper SJ 62-3 Overhead

The Daiwa Saltist Hyper SJ 62-3 Overhead is a specially developed slow jigging rod for those who want maximum control, feel, and power when vertical fishing. With the increasing popularity of slow jigging, Daiwa has developed the Saltist Hyper series for anglers who demand precision and responsiveness in every movement.

The rod is built with HVF graphite, which provides high strength and improved sensitivity without unnecessary weight. Together with the advanced X45 Full Shield technology, blank twisting under load is minimized. Less twist provides better jigging rhythm, more stable action, and more direct contact with the bait, which is crucial in slow jigging where every movement counts.

The 6’2’’ blank is designed for optimal action in vertical jigging. The length provides the right balance between lifting power and control, making the rod perfect for both tropical fishing trips and deeper sea fishing, for example, in Norway.

The Saltist Hyper SJ is equipped with a Fuji reel seat and Fuji stainless steel guides with O-rings, which ensures secure reel mounting and smooth line flow even under high load. The split EVA handle provides good grip and comfort during long jigging sessions.

The 62-3 model is rated for PE 3 and handles jigs between 120 and 300 grams, making it very versatile for species such as coalfish, cod, and halibut, as well as tropical species where controlled presentation is crucial.

We at Outside Travels recommend this rod for anglers who want a modern slow jigging rod with high sensitivity and a strong backbone when it counts.

With our selected range, Outside Travels ensures that you fish with rods from Daiwa that are developed for serious sea fishing worldwide.
