Daiwa Saltiga Cuddler Lures

The 2025 Daiwa Saltiga Cuddler is an expertly engineered topwater lure, priced at an MSRP of $39.99, designed to excite the most aggressive saltwater species. Crafted in collaboration with pro angler Ryota Segawa and Daiwa’s elite design team, this lure pushes the boundaries of topwater performance by blending long casting distance with an irresistible swim pattern—and it achieves this in all surface conditions.

Aerodynamic, Lift-Generating Design for Maximum Distance

The Saltiga Cuddler’s wing-like body shape lifts through the air while slicing cleanly through water, allowing for explosive casts even when using heavy braid. The rear-weighted build provides stability during flight, while an internal head counterweight enables a mesmerizing spiral dive just beneath the surface, regardless of whether the water is slick calm or choppy.

Unmatched Durability with Engineered Precision

Molded from rugged ABS plastic with precision-tuned curves, the Cuddler swims reliably under harsh fishing pressure. Its wire-through construction secures robust BKK hooks front and rear, while the diamond-shaped line-tie locks the knot in place, ensuring the lure maintains its designed action even under heavy strikes or abrasion.

Built for the Serious Saltwater Angler

If you're chasing big record-breaking fish, the Saltiga Cuddler is your prime tool. Its combination of long-range casting, lifelike spiral action, and solid construction makes it a top-tier option for targeting bluefin, yellowfin, yellowtail, and other apex saltwater gamefish. As its tagline states: built for anglers who fish hard and aim high—designed to help you BREAK YOUR RECORD.

Versatile Styles with Heavy-Duty Performance

The Cuddler floats at approximately 3.35 oz (95g) and measures about 7.3" (185mm) in its 185F configuration. It's available in multiple colors—including Blue Back, Shadow Killer, Glow Killer, Chartreuse Back, Clear Red Killer, Sardine, Mackerel, and Pink Mack—to match diverse fishing scenarios and local bait colorations.
