If you are looking for a conventional reel that is designed for durability and reliability, then you are looking for the Daiwa Saltist STT30H. With its Full Metal Jacket design, it was made for handling the brutal punishments of today’s braided lines.
The guts of this reel are full of great features. There ball bearings of the spool are specially coated and sealed in order to be corrosion resistant, and will prevent debris and grit from getting into the spool and affecting its performance. The interior of the drag is made from stainless steel, and is equipped with grease impregnated washers which eliminate any concerns about being able to adjust the drag, no matter how heavy of a load is on your line. You have 30% more winding power with this reel due to the fact that it has super tough alloy stock gears, which guarantees durability and smoothness.
The frame of Daiwa Saltist Coventional Reels are constructed of heavy duty solid aluminum which allows the reel to perform to its fullest potential, even while under the strain of a hard fighting fish. The drag is able to tightened up to 22 lbs with ease, and cranking is easy with a handle designed for comfort. The handle can be locked into two different positions so you can decided which is more comfortable to make things easier on your hand when pulling in to long retrieves. A dual anti-reverse system on this conventional reel prevents your spool and handle from back spinning when you are casting, meaning more time fishing and less time fixing birds nests.
