About this piece
The Daiwa Saltiga Cuddler 240F is a large diving pencil lure designed by Ryota Segawa, engineered for exceptional casting distance and stable swimming action even in rough conditions. Its tapered tail reduces air resistance and maintains a steady flight path against strong headwinds and crosswinds, delivering a significant range advantage. The lure features a back-mounted counterweight to ensure a consistent rising posture during the retrieve, allowing reliable diving entry regardless of surface chop, and produces a wide, three-dimensional S-curve swimming action to attract predators from a broad area.
