DAIWA '23 SALTIGA G Front Drag Reel

The small Saltiga reels offer huge power and top-level Japanese technology.

Together with the aluminum MQ reel body the new Airdrive Design cares for highest durability and sensitivity – perfect, when strong fighters, like halibut, tuna, amberjack or GT are targeted with rather light tackle.

The Airdrive Rotor leads to decreased weight at the front unit of the reel, optimizing the rod balance – an improved casting performance and optimized sensitivity at lure presentation are the result. Reduction of the rotor weight further led to a decreased starting resistance, further optimizing reaction and sensitivity.

The hollow one-piece Airdrive bail cares for an optimal line management and reduces the threat of tanglings at casting.

The CNC cut driving wheel is made of G1 Duraluminum and has been especially coated for an even softer and smoother running than usual. The Airdrive Shaft creates a low-contact structure at the pinion gear, minimizing the friction resistance at the shaft and leading to a silky-smooth, almost completely silent functioning of this reel. The Monocoque design of the reel body allows the use of a larger gear unit with better power transmission and a longer lifespan under high load. The distortion-proof reel body cares for an optimal housing of the gear and permanent smooth running.

At both sides of the crank axle Magsealed ball bearings prevent the intrusion of saltwater and dust particles, leading to a tremendous level of protection together with the Magsealed shaft.
