DAIWA SALTIGA CUDDLER 200F LURE – Slimy

Engineered for serious topwater anglers, the Daiwa Saltiga Cuddler 200F Lure is built to dominate the surface and draw explosive strikes from the ocean’s most aggressive predators. Measuring 200mm and weighing in at a powerful 107g, this floating lure is ideal for casting long distances and working over reefs, headlands, and open water.

Designed by renowned Japanese angler Ryota Segawa, the Saltiga Cuddler 200F features a finely tuned rear counterweight system that ensures a perfectly balanced floating posture. This gives the lure exceptional stability in rough conditions, enabling it to hold its action through chop, swell, and heavy surge. The rear-weighted body and tapered profile reduce air drag, helping you launch the lure further and more accurately — even into strong winds.

Whether you’re casting from a boat or targeting big pelagics from the rocks, the 200F offers enhanced surface presence and strike visibility, keeping the lure in the danger zone longer. Fitted with super-strong BKK treble hooks, it’s ready to handle brutal strikes from giant trevally, yellowfin tuna, kingfish, and other hard-fighting species.

Perfect for walk-the-dog, sweep, or pause-and-pop retrieves, the Saltiga Cuddler 200F is a topwater weapon designed for trophy fish and extreme saltwater action.
