The Daiwa Saltiga Cuddler Clear Red Killer is engineered for extreme saltwater situations, built to swim true in both heavy surface chop and slick calm conditions. Developed through four iterations with Daiwa pro angler Ryota Segawa, its ABS body, sculpted curves, and wing-like profile produce a powerful dive-and-spiral action just beneath the surface. A rear-weighted design maximizes casting distance with heavy braid, while a free-moving internal head counterweight drives its erratic spiral swim pattern. The lure’s wire-through construction and oversized BKK hooks offer big-game durability, and a diamond-shaped line tie keeps the knot fixed to preserve optimal swimming action. Designed for anglers pushing their limits, the Saltiga Cuddler is built to tempt apex predators and break personal records.
