Daiwa Saltist


With its rugged,"Full Metal Jacket" all-metal construction and rigid, one-piece aluminum frame, the Daiwa Saltist is a must have for any serious saltwater angler. The Saltist has 4 ball bearings and a roller bearing; powerful, high-strength alloy gears; dual anti-reverse systems; dual-position power handle; and aluminum rod clamp for superior performance. Special CRBB anti-corrosion spool bearing are shielded to keep grit and abrasives out and last up to twelve times longer in a saltwater environment. The Saltist also has stainless grease-impregnated fiber washers for super-smooth drag with up to 22% greater drag max than similar reels. Saltist gears are machined from Daiwa's exclusive high-strength alloy stock for a perfect match of strength and smooth feel. With a powerful ratio and rigid support, they deliver up to 30% more winding power than similar reels. Line recovery in inches per handle turn.

Features of the Saltist include: Rugged, all-metal construction with rigid, one-piece alumininum frame with total of 4 ball bearing CRBB shielded, corrosion-resistant spool bearings, high-strength alloy gears, up to 30%.

Final Take: I have the 30H, in comparison to an Abu Garcia Ambassadeur 6000 series reel, it is the same size in width but smaller than the Abu Garcia in height. Most of the reel is made out of aluminum which makes it rock solid and no sacrifice in weight at only 17.1 oz. It holds the same amount of line as the SL30 series reel, but smaller in overall size. The spool sits low, so thumbing the spool is much like casting a bass reel. I highly recommended this reel. ($169.99 - buy it now)
