Daiwa SALTIGA DIVE STAR PENCIL LURE
A superior product crafted with unwavering dedication in pursuit of the perfect plastic diving pencil.
The Saltiga Dive★Star 220F is a diving pencil meticulously developed with a singular focus on creating a top-tier lure capable of true competition. Throughout the journey of crafting this top water plug for big game fishing, I encountered numerous significant obstacles, each one testing my resolve and nearly prompting me to give up. After a long wait, it is finally ready for release.
■ Commitment:
"Our goal is to design a diving pencil that is user-friendly for everyone."
To achieve this, we recognized the importance of thoroughly examining its fundamental performance. Firstly, achieving remarkable casting distance to reach distant hotspots or targets swiftly. Maintaining stable flight posture during casting is crucial; any rotation or instability during flight could compromise the casting distance. Dive★Star has been meticulously engineered with precise weight distribution, keeping its body weight at 105g (125g including the hook), ensuring comfortable casting even with its 220mm size. The stress-free casting distance will bring anglers closer to encountering large fish.
■ Action:
Even with strong and abrupt jerking motions, it resists jumping out of the water. Upon entry, the flat part of the head catches the water, enabling the lure to achieve an ideal diving action with simple rod movements. Even if a large fish is hooked in the depths, the strong side waves will accentuate the lure on the water's surface, attracting the attention of other fish.
The body design was meticulously crafted by analyzing fish skin in 3D and replicating it with a hologram effect. By layering striped patterns that mimic scales, we succeeded in creating a shimmer resembling that of a live fish. This hologram, named "ADEL," is an original creation resulting from a collaboration between Daiwa and Murata Kinpaku Group, a renowned gold leaf manufacturer established in the first year of the Keio era. This marks its world premiere installation. Additionally, the head's mouth is colored to enhance visibility, making it stand out even in rough waters.
Furthermore, the lure is equipped with a triple hook featuring a heavy shank for strength and rust resistance. It is secured with a 230LB strong split ring, providing peace of mind even when unexpected large fish are hooked.

This maneuverability ensures that your target remains enticed, allowing you to swiftly lure it in without hesitation.

Additionally, it's customizable to fit the angler's preferences, with options for separately sold hooks. Adjustments such as downsizing the hook for enhanced wobbling or upsizing for added stability can be made, expanding the versatility of this fishing tool.
