About this piece
The Daiwa Saltiga Frother 170F is a carefully engineered popper that entraps fine bubbles and produces an alluring pop sound to attract fish. Its deep upper cup and shallow lower cup design prevent excessive diving, allowing it to swim just below the surface with a trail of bubbles. Despite the high buoyancy typical of poppers, the Frother is heavily weighted for exceptional casting distance and stability in crosswinds, with a vertical floating posture that ensures responsive action on the first jerk.
Key features
- Deep upper cup for easy bubble generation and shallow lower cup to maintain surface depth
- Maximized weight distribution for superior casting distance and wind stability
- Vertical floating posture provides instant response and controlled diving on the jerk
- Linear, responsive action allows rhythmic, tempo-driven retrieval similar to a diving pencil
Best for
- Topwater fishing for pelagic species like tuna, GT, and mahi-mahi
- Calm to moderate sea conditions where subtle surface commotion triggers strikes
- Anglers seeking a high-performance popper with exceptional castability and action
