I was an honest to goodness novice at fishing. Unlike my new Ivy League buddies’ dads, mine had no interest whatsoever in fishing; hence, I was never really exposed to it at a young age like they were. I actually would not have had the courage to join their trip out to sea without this level of comfort afforded by my Saltiga Surf 30. This lightweight and durable piece of equipment has been handed down to me by my uncle who firmly believed the Daiwa Saltiga 30T could make me look like a pro. How right he was indeed. I was casting and reeling like I had done this many times in the past. Without going deeper than 300 feet, I was making my mark as a respectable angler with this excellent Daiwa Saltiga 30T.
