If you enjoy saltwater fishing, but are tired of reels that can’t handle the punishments that today’s heavy duty super braid lines dish out, then the Daiwa Saltiga Blast SA-B4000 spinning reel is the product for you.
The body, sideplate and rotor are all made of lightweight, rigid aluminum alloy which allows for a durable and corrosive free reel. It has a tubular stainless Air Bail, which comes with a bail lock to prevent handle and rotor from turning during a cast and an oversized Titanium Nitrided ball bearing line roller to guarantee a strong, smooth cast. The machined ABS (Advanced Ballistic System) aluminum spool with a reversed taper allows you to fill the line right up to the edge of the spool lip without having to worry about the line tangling.
This spinning reel has great features that you just don’t see on the outside. There are nine specially treated ball bearings and one roller bearing which help prevent corrosion when used in saltwater and will last you up to 12 times longer than standard stainless steel bearings. The Digigear digitally designed gears allow for a perfect mesh of the super tough surface treated alloy drive gear and the marine bronze pinion, which produces for a smooth, powerful and durable reel. The main shaft of this reel is zero friction which allows you to reel in those big game fish with ease.
