Daiwa’s NEW Subsurface Nemesis – The 2025 Saltiga Cuddler 185F
Daiwa has a brand new subsurface nemesis for those big pelagic predators with the new 2025 Saltiga Cuddler 185F. From the brain of renowned Japanese lure designer Ryota Segawa, the new Saltiga Cuddler 185F started its life as a hand-carved prototype bounced between him and Daiwa until this new thermformed ABS plastic beast of a lure was made. This is a long-casting subsurface lure that can easily cut through the wind even when launched on heavy braid.
“The Cuddler met all the criteria and is one of the hottest baits on the ocean, wreaking havoc on tuna, kingfish, GT’s, yellowtail, stripers, and more.” – DAIWA Field Marketing Manager, Chris Martin
Its castability and consistent, rhythmic swimming action are both helped along by a sophisticated weighting system that stabilizes the lure and keeps the lure always upright when worked. The body of the Saltiga Cuddler 185F has been fortified and uses a heavy-duty wire-through design that keeps the BKK Big Game Hooks secure even under stress from giant fish. This lure is available in 7 vibrant color patterns, weighs in at 3.35 oz, and has an MSRP of $34.99 per lure. These are available for purchase now through Daiwa dealers.
