Light Spin Slow Jig Combo Saltist V2 and Shimano Socorro

Light Spin Slow Jig Combo Saltist SJS62-2 V2 and Shimano Socorro 

This is the lightest combo in the Saltist Slow Jig range, it is rated at PE 2. The PE 2 we use is Daiwa J Braid Grand that breaks at the 30lb mark so gives you more stopping power if needed. The rod is rated for slow jigs from 80-200 grams but will still work lighter jigs if you want to fish inshore reefs, but having a rating up to 200g means you can fish water depths of up to 200m depending on conditions. The reel is the Shimano Socorro 6000 and is a light weight reel that has ample drag and comes with Shimano Australia's 10 year warranty. We choose J Braid Grand as the braid due to its strength and abrasion resistance. 

THIS COMBO INCLUDES 

• Daiwa Saltist Hyper SJS62-2
• Shimano Socorro 6000
• Daiwa J Braid Grand PE 2 300m Multi 

Daiwa Saltist Hyper V2 Slow Jig Spinning Fishing Rods

With the rise in popularity of the specialist slow jigging market, Daiwa has expanded its offering with the introduction of the brand-new Saltist Hyper range of specialist slow jig rods.

Saltist Hyper SJ expands on the ever-popular range of Saltist Hyper rods which were upgraded in 2020 and gives the offshore angler even more choice in one of the best bang-for-buck rod ranges available.

Combining Daiwa’s HVF graphite with newly released X45X Full Shield technology, the action and responsiveness of these rods has to be seen to be believed for the price. X45X Full Shield graphite increases torsional stiffness, which reduces blank twist under load. Something that is important in a jigging rod where the up and down motion of working a jig can mean a lot of lost potential energy through twisting of the rod blank. By reducing this twisting force, the rod recovers much faster meaning the action of your jig will be improved.

Outfitted with Fuji stainless steel ‘O’ ring guides and Fuji reel seats, the new Saltist Hyper SJ exudes quality & refinement.

Made at the preferred 6’2” length for the optimum action, Saltist Hyper SJ is available in both overhead and spin configurations in PE 2, 3 & 4 variations.

X45X FULL SHIELD

X45X Full Shield Technology is 25% more efficient than standard X45 technology. With increased torsional stiffness, blanks armed with X45X resist blank twist during casting & jigging. This characteristic prevents the blank from losing stored energy during the cast, ensuring that every bit of force you put into your cast, is transferred through the blank and ultimately to your chosen lure.

FUJI REEL SEAT

Light, strong and true to the famous brand’s reputation for quality and class, Fuji reel seats deliver on performance and value.

FUJI STAINLEES STEEL GUIDES

Light, strong, and highly corrosion resistant, Fuji stainless steel guides are tailor-made for Australia's harsh conditions.

Socorro 5000, The Shimnao Socorro 5000 is an awesome reel for soft Plastics or bait fishing on inshore reefs and estuaries.

Socorro 6000, The Shimano Socorro 6000 will do what the 5000 Socorro will do but it has that little bit more line capacity for deeper water.
