25 Saltiga key features:

MONOCOQUE BODY

MONOCOQUE BODY

This design incorporates a one-piece frame and a one-piece threaded side plate. Because screws are not necessary to attach the side plate and hold the main gear, the interior space in the body is greater allowing for a larger more powerful gear held in place by the lighter, sturdier body rather than the traditional side plate.

CRBB

CRBB

Shielded for extra protection. Unlike ordinary "corrosion resistant" bearings with un unprotected open race, DAIWA's CRBB ball bearings are shielded to seal out sand, fine grit, salt crystals and other abrasives for even longer life. CRBB ball bearings feature an 12 times higher corrosion resistance than usual ball bearings.

MAGSEALED

MAGSEALED

DAIWA's unique waterproof structure creates a wall of magnetic oil in the gap between the body and rotor, blocking out seawater, dust, and other elements.

 MAGSEALED BB

MAGSEALED BB

MAGSEALED bearings (MSBB) - have been designed to last longer than ever. The balls are encapsulated in a completely waterproof bearing. The inner and outer rings are magnetised and joined by waterproof and highly stable MAGSEALED oil. The casing is 100% protected from impurities. The smoothness is beyond comparison to a waterproof industrial bearing: MagSealed oil removes the need for a joint, meaning that you won’t detect any friction on the wind. These bearings are placed either side of the drive gear in our flagship reels.

Stopperless body

Stopperless body

The body structure has been simplified by removing the stopper. The decision to remove the stopper, which is a route for water and foreign objects to enter, not only reduces weight and improves waterproof performance, but also minimizes the risk of sudden trouble when fishing in harsh environments or with large fish.

Super duralumin MC tough digital gear

Super duralumin MC tough digital gear

The MC (machine cut) Tough Digigear is made of ultra-super duralumin, and is made by cold forging high-strength material and then cutting with high precision to create the ideal gear. The four SF size items have a special surface treatment that increases the surface hardness of the gear to reduce the adverse effects caused by sudden force.

POWERDRIVE ENGINE

POWERDRIVE ENGINE

The body unit that realizes a highly efficient and powerful winding force is the [Power Drive Engine]. This [Power Drive Engine] is composed of two technologies, [Oversized Power Digigear] and [Roller Power Oscillation]. The drive gear has been enlarged, which is possible only with DAIWA's unique monocoque body, and the oscillation mechanism has been revamped. It realizes a clearly light and powerful winding from the initial movement.

OVERSIZED POWER DIGIGEAR

OVERSIZED POWER DIGIGEAR

The highly durable MC Tough Digigear made of G1 duralumin has been made 10% larger in diameter and 6% thicker, making it the strongest gear ever (based on our calculation method). Even during long, high-load fights, the gears are designed to maintain a stable meshing, minimizing deflection. By significantly reducing power transmission loss, we promise smooth winding.

ROLLER POWER OSCILLATION

ROLLER POWER OSCILLATION

When fighting a large fish, where high loads continue relentlessly, the frictional resistance of the oscillating part caused by winding leads to power transmission loss. In order to reduce that friction as much as possible, the sliding part has been changed from the conventional pillar type to a two-ball bearing type oscillator. This has improved the oscillation efficiency by about 30%, realizing smooth initial response even under high loads and light, powerful winding. *Based on our own comparative test.

POWERDRIVE ROTOR

POWERDRIVE ROTOR

The Power Drive Rotor of the front unit has a rational spherical shape that combines rigidity and low inertia. It is composed of the Power Drive Rotor equipped with two technologies, the Crank Power Veil and the Tough Line Roller System. The unique rotor shape, which looks as if it was cut out of a sphere, is symmetrical and highly balanced with respect to the axis of rotation, ensuring high rigidity against sudden external forces. The veil and line roller mounted on this rotor have also been redesigned, enabling accurate line delivery and a smooth transition to winding operation.

CRANK POWER BAIL

CRANK POWER BAIL

In big games, the most important thing is to instantly reel in the line no matter when or where you are. The veil shape with an optimally inclined crank and the strengthened spring mechanism ensure that the tensioned line is guided to the line roller and prevent unexpected opening and closing. In addition, the hollow pipe structure with a thick shaft ensures high rigidity.

TOUGH LINE ROLLER SYSTEM

TOUGH LINE ROLLER SYSTEM

In order to withstand repeated high loads, the roller shaft is designed with a larger support surface and is integrated with the bail arm, eliminating the rattling that previously occurred at the joint and significantly improving durability. In addition, the newly designed PE-only line roller reduces friction with the line, achieving lighter winding. This tough new mechanism significantly improves rigidity, durability, and trouble-free performance.

DRD

DRD

DRD is a completely new drag mechanism that can withstand the repeated running of large fish over a long period of time and prevents wear and tear and seizure at high drag ranges. The DRD washer, which is equipped with eight metal rollers on one metal plate, replaces the carbon washers used in conventional drags. It prevents the drag force from decreasing due to frictional heat and is more than five times more durable than a carbon washer (based on our comparative tests). It also contributes to a smooth start.

ATD TOUGH SW

ATD TOUGH SW

The ATD operates smoothly and keeps working smoothly in response to the pull of the fish. The ATD Tough SW uses carbon washers to achieve high durability. It pursues smooth start and tracking, allowing you to concentrate on the fight without worrying about the drag setting.

LC-ABS SW

LC-ABS SW

While the LC-ABS optimizes the spool ring shape to achieve smooth line release, the LC-ABS SW uses a two-stage taper shape on the upper side of the spool winding section toward the spool ring. This reduces friction with the line released from the deep diameter, realizing a smooth casting feel and further improving the release performance in the latter half of the cast. In particular, when using thick lines where the diameter of the winding line changes greatly during the cast, it contributes to an increase in casting distance of about 2%. It supports the desire of anglers to cast farther. *Based on our comparative tests.

MAGSEALED LINE ROLLER

MAGSEALED LINE ROLLER

The line roller is the part that receives the water and sand that the line picks up directly. By increasing the waterproofness of the line roller under these harsh conditions, it helps maintain the initial performance such as rotation feeling and sensitivity. In addition, the amount of salt and foreign matter that gets caught is greatly reduced, and the rotation is improved, which also improves the effect of reducing line twisting.

Daiwa manual bail return

Manual bail return

In order to completely prevent the bail from flipping back when casting and to improve durability, a manual return mechanism is used that prevents the bail from flipping back when the handle is turned.

High grip egg

High grip egg

Equipped with a high-grip egg knob (exchangeable to L size) that is easy to hold and non-slip.
