* (3 July 2026) The review of the 2025 Daiwa Saltiga has been published. It is quite long, so it’s better to read it in a few sittings rather than in one. I hope you'll enjoy it. Click Here.

* (29 June 2026) Two things; one, following up on the previous news update, here are more pictures of the new BG SW CLICK. I still see no official announcement so I'm assuming these photos are of some value. Second thing, still aiming to publish the Saltiga review by the end of June 30th ET time, but I might end up needing 48 to 72 hours extra. My apologies, again, if this actually happens, but there is still some hope it won't.

* (26 June 2026) 10 years after the release of the popular 2016 Daiwa BG, a new BG SW is coming. This is a genuine full redesign with "trickle downs" from the new Saltiga, not another spawn. Here is a picture CLICK.

* (1 March 2026) This is NOT the casual reminder to check your spam folder for my reply to your questions, it's getting really bad! Several email providers are deploying AI spam filters, and these are untrained and keep catching legitimate emails. They likely read my emails and see that they are replies to messages that didn't originate from the provider, since you sent them via the contact form, thus mark them as spam. In February alone I estimated that over 100 of my replies went to your spam, evident by receiving the same questions a few days later or never receiving a reply to my request for more information about your intended fishing etc. It's usually about a dozen or so a month, not over a hundred. I'll leave this at the top for the longest time possible, and please make checking your spam folder a habit..

* (13 January 2026) A bit of disappointing news; just got confirmation that the 2026 Daiwa Certate HD will be made in China. This is NOT a commentary on quality and it could very well be built to superb standards. Rather I'm saddened by the departure from a tradition in which "Certate" has always been a premium spinner made in Japan. Cheapening once prestigious products is a slippery slope.
