About this piece
The Daiwa Saltiga Cuddler 185F is a large diving pencil designed by Ryota Segawa, built to deliver extreme casting distance and a stable swimming action even in tough conditions. It inherits the DNA of the Saltiga offshore lineup, engineered with a tail-narrowed body to reduce air resistance and maintain a stable flight attitude against strong headwinds or crosswinds.
Key features
- Rear counterweight for optimized floating posture and consistent dive entry
- Tapered tail shape significantly reduces air drag for longer casts
- Three-dimensional spiral S-action creates wide body movement to attract fish
- Oversized 18.5 cm body with 77 g weight for casting into heavy wind
- Saltiga quality construction suitable for extreme offshore conditions
Best for
- Offshore gamefish like tuna, amberjack, and giant trevally
- Surf and jetty casting for big pelagics
- Rough sea conditions where wind and waves would stall lesser lures
