Daiwa Conventional Reels

Daiwa has done it again, with their Daiwa Saltiga Conventional Reels. These reels are absolutely unbelievable. The frame and side plates are both machined out of a solid aircraft-grade aluminum bar stock which is anodized to assist in preventing corrosion. The spool is also machined out of air-craft grade aluminum which allows the reel maximum casting performance and added strength. The handle on these reels are rubberized power handles which were designed for maximum comfort and performance for when you are reeling in that huge fish. The retrieve on the Daiwa Conventional Reel is amazing at 35 inches of line with every handle turn. These reels are built for today’s super strong braided lines, and the “guts” of this reel prove it. The drag on this reel is has grease-impregnated graphite and stainless steel washers which keeps the drag operating to it's full potential, even under the longest and heaviest of runs. The gears are machine-cut, massive, high-strength alloy gears; which will withstand the strain that comes with fishing with super braided lines. There are 6 ball bearings and one roller bearing to guarantee your reel functions to maximum performance at all times. Inside and out, these reels are designed to be workhorses, it doesn't get any tougher than these reels.

The Daiwa Saltist Conventional Reel features Daiwa’s “Full Metal Jacket” construction, which allows you to use both monofilament and today’s super tough braided lines. This entire reel is constructed of rugged metal parts, with a rigid, one piece solid aluminum frame. There is a dual position power handle with an extremely comfortable hand grip. The aluminum rod clamp allows you to reinforce the reel's seating to the rod of your choice. There is a dual anti-reverse system on this conventional reel that will prevent your spool and handle from spinning backwards while casting or at rest. The stainless steel and grease impregnated fiber washers that make up the drag allowing you to adjust the drag with super smooth precision and also gives you up to 22% more drag max. There are special CRBB anti-corrosion spool bearings which are sealed to keep all the debris out, and will last up for up to twelve times longer than a reel without these bearings.  The internal gears of this reel gives you up to 30% more winding power due to the fact that they are made of super strong alloy stock which gives you incredible strength and a smooth feel.
