The newest release in Bait Junkie range the 4.2” minnow adopts a new shape and a slightly different material to produce an epic action that is deadly in salt and freshwater.

The deeper body enables flexibility for rigging options and helps promote the rolling action that makes this bait so successful. The big boot tail produces a heavy thump to call in nearby predators and will work at low and high speed making it incredibly versatile. The defining ‘slim waist’ design is prominent once again enabling the tail to flex and twist independently as the bait tracks perfectly through the water column.

Available in 10 effective and proven fish catching colours the 4.2” Minnow is the ‘inshore powerhouse’ of the Bait Junkie range. Featuring rigging lines on the top for easy rigging, this is the bait to reach for when targeting predatory fish that are zoned in on a smaller baitfish profile. The Bait Junkie 4.2” Minnow comes with 5 pieces per pack.

Daiwas Sliding Lure 

Kohga Head Specification - Polished Ceramic Tube has an extremely smooth surface to efficiently dissipate heat, protecting the leader as the lure slides. Hydrodynamic keel design increases the lures stability and sink rate ensuring optimal presentation in the correct area of the water column. Tapered head design enables the lure to adapt to high and low current situations to maintain optimal lure action.

Kohga Skirt Specification - Securely attached skirt is glued in place, whipped with thread and then glued again to increase longevity. Plastic bumper sits between the weighted head and assist hook to protect the leader knot from the sliding weight. Sliding skirt achieves constant movement, effectively minimising stationary periods when the lure touches the bottom.

Kohga Assist Specification - Ultra sharp Japanese SaqSas hooks increase penetration by up to 40% to ensure a secure hook set with minimal pressure. Kevlar Assist Cord with a fluorocarbon core provides optimal hook placement and prevents hooks snagging on the leader. Polished Stainless Steel solid ring with circular cross section provides secure attachment point and direct contact.

Colour Recommendations -

Sakura Glow - Sakura Glow is recommended for use during early morning and is the ideal lure selection when fishing in low light conditions and/or deep water.

Kohga Pink - Kohga Pink is recommended for use during mid-morning and is the ideal lure selection for overcast weather conditions or average water clarity.

Kohga Orange - Kohga Orange is recommended for use during mid-afternoon and is the ideal lure selection for clear conditions or when fish activity is variable.

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.

Extensive refinement has resulted in a lure that performs reliably and is easy for anyone to handle. Casting is effortless with straight and stable flight due to a fine weight balance, while the body weight of 105g (125g including hooks) ensures even a 220mm plug can be cast comfortably. The lengthy flight distance will increase the opportunity for anglers to encounter large fish.

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.

A new hologram technology 'ADEL' has been adopted in the surface of the lure. The skin of various baitfish species was analyzed in 3D and a simplified holographic pattern was derived. We successfully replicated the brilliance of the glossy skin observed on the underside of a live baitfish.

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.

The new Laguna offers anglers unrivalled value. A sleek and stylish ergonomic and low-profile body sits comfortably in the hand, while acombination of innovative design and advanced technologies create a reel that looks as good as it performs. Featuring arobust composite bodydesign the Laguna is highly corrosion resistant while retaining incredible structural rigidity. This solid based platform houses a bulletproof gearingsystem with gear durability that rivals many mid-range baitcasting reels.

Engineered to precise tolerances the Lagunas gears mesh seamlessly forexceptional power transmission and a silky-smooth feeling on the crank. With a UTD drag system comprised of multiple carbon washers the Lagunais capable of producing 5.5kg of drag pressure, giving anglers the control to fight large powerful fish. A high strength spool design has the capacityto hold enough braided line for all inshore and most offshore fishing situations. Casting performance comes from the the inclusion of Magforcetechnology,a magnetic cast control system delivers trouble free casting regardless of the fishing situation. Six ball bearings ensure rotationalsmoothness, while a 6.3:1 retrieve ratio provides all-round suitability for a range of fishing applications. A large swept handle improves control bybringing the balance point closer to the centre axis of the reel, while ergonomic non-slip handle knobs provide a comfortable connection to theangler.

Designed with big fish and comfort in mind. Daiwa's new Offshore Glove is built from heavy-duty, quick-drying material that will not only protect you whilst handling fish, but is also comfortable and easy to wear from dawn to dusk. The fingertips and thumb have been reinforced with long days of casting in mind and also for when you need to put some extra hurt on those big fish when jigging. The palm of the glove has an extra layer of material sewn on with hexagonal shaped grip to maintain contact and prevent slippage when wet.

The new 2020 TD Hyper range takes value and performance to the next level courtesy of new Air Sensor (SVF Carbon) reel seats, a revised grip design, and a new grey cosmetic. Light, powerful, and designed for ultimate strength and performance this is the spinning and baitcast series that delivers unrivalled value.

At the very core of the TD Hyper is Daiwa's HVF Nanoplus technology. HVF Nanoplus combines precise resin control with unidirectional graphite fibre to produce a blank with maximum graphite density and a light responsive action. Blank performance is further enhanced courtesy of X45, by eliminating twist and preventing the blank from losing its round form, X45 allows a lighter a small diameter blank to be made, and lighter more dynamic rod to be created.

Lightweight Fuji Concept O guides help the blank to maintain its action, while Fuji Aluminium Oxide inserts provide superior casting performance and line management. Next generation comfort and control is delivered through new ergonomically designed grips and the integration of Air Sensor reel seats. This results in reduced weight while maximising balance, feel, and sensitivity.

Combining Daiwa advanced blank design with outstanding value the TD Hyper series is built to perform.
