The DAIWA Saltiga SJ 61B-3 is a flagship single-piece heavy-duty slow jigging rod from DAIWA’s premium Saltiga offshore saltwater series, designed for vertical slow pitch jigging targeting large deep-water reef and pelagic game fish.

Constructed with high-tensile marine-grade carbon blank, it balances lightweight handling and extreme lifting power to subdue big saltwater species under intense deep-water pressure.

This one-piece blank weighs only 106g, greatly reducing wrist and arm fatigue during all-day boat jigging expeditions.

Its 1.85m length delivers progressive, smooth flex that generates lifelike fluttering action for heavy large metal jigs with minimal physical exertion.

It is engineered for jig weights ranging from 150g to 260g, perfectly matched with PE 1.0–2.0 braided lines for deep offshore heavy jigging scenarios.

The sensitive tip transmits faint bottom structure signals and subtle light bites clearly, while the thick reinforced rear blank delivers brute pulling force to steer powerful fish away from jagged rocky hazards.

This variant is marked Sold Out on the store page; you can view all models of the full DAIWA Saltiga SJ lineup to find lighter jig weight alternatives.
