Very durable rod at a great price
December 17, 2019
All components appear to be very beefy. The segment joints are reinforced, the guides are very solid, and you can really get some leverage on the handle.

Amazing rod
December 16, 2019
Daiwa travel rods are just REALLY good!
This one will handle a big variety of fish like: small GT, small Red Snappers, Mahi Mahi, Jacks, King Mackerels, Bonitos, Barracudas etc.
I paired it with a BG Daiwa 4500 and it was perfect!

Solid travel rod
November 9, 2019
This may be one of my favorite rods. It’s got a sensitive tip and solid backbone. The handle is on the thicker side but got used to it. Wish they would have used a nicer looking reel seat to compliment this sweat looking rod. All in all it gets the job done.
Pros
- Sensitive, strong backbone.
Cons
- Needs a nicer/sleeker looking reel seat.

The well-known quality of Daiwa
January 28, 2015
Excellent components and materials at a very good price. This 3-piece fishing rod acts like a fishing rod in one piece with all the properties characteristic of quality rod: sensitivity, strength and light weight. I think is a good investment for my long trips over oceans.

Will the 7 MH Saltiga G Travel Spinning Rod handle tarpon fishing in the Florida Keys?
Im targeting the 30-100 lb fish. I was thinking the 7 MH paired with a 4500 or 5000 spinning reel loaded with 50-65lb braid with the necessary leader.
When will they be available?
1 Answer
Hi Dan, Unfortunately the Daiwa Saltiga G Boat Travel Rods have been discontinued and we will not be getting anymore in anytime soon. I would recommend a Tsunami TSCSHDPSII762H-B Carbon Shield II Boat Popping Rod. https://www.tackledirect.com/tsunami-tscshdpsii762h-b-carbon-shield-ii-boat-popping-rod.html This rod is 2 piece and would be strong enough to fight large tarpon. Please let us know if theres anything else we can assist you with. Tight Lines.

Does Shimano SE8000FI Sedona Fi Spinning Reel fit well with Daiwa Saltiga G Boat Travel Rods? I mostly fish near the shore for black sea bass and flukes.
1 Answer
Yes, that reel would pair great with the Saltiga G Travel Rods. SEC5000XGFI would be better than the 8000.

Would this rod (either M or MH) be suited for live bait (anchovy) fishing for albacore/schoolie yellowfin? The action is listed as 'R' and I'm not sure what that is.
1 Answer
The MH would be a better rod for the application your using it for. The R means regular which is Moderate action.

January 23, 2017
Hello,
Daiwa Saltiga G Boat travel MH 15/30 spinning would match better a Saragosa 8000 or a 10000?
As a Gosa 8000 weighs 689g and a 10000 703g what is the real weight of the rod?
The recommended line is 15/30 lb, if I'll load the reel with a 50 lb braided could be a problem?
Thank you in advance,
Dorian
1 Answer
The rod would match better with the 8000 for better balance. The 50 lb braid will not be an issue using with this rod and reel combo. The rod weighs 14.4 oz.
