Description

Daiwa SALTIGA® LEVER DRAG All Saltiga LD reels feature a one-piece machined aluminum frame and side plate to assure precise alignment of bearings and gears for amazingly smooth performance, less flex, more power and reduced binding even during the fiercest battles. Oversized, super-hard, polished and meshed stainless steel main and pinion gears fit together perfectly to drive the kicking gear with extra strength and nearly silent precision while large spool bearings reduce side load so anglers can concentrate on fighting fish rather than the reel. Daiwa's acclaimed Advanced Tournament Drag System (ATD) keeps each Saltiga LD cool during the heat of battle while providing consistent maximum pressure through the end game. A machined aluminum spool won't bend under high drag pressure or outwardly expand as you tightly wind on line. A machined aluminum rod clamp always keeps your reel tightly secured. All single and smaller two-speed models, along with the high-speed tournament sailfish reels, boast soft-touch rubber handles for fast, comfortable retrieves. The larger size 50, 55 and 60 2-speed models feature a long T style offset aluminum power handle to improve leverage and comfort without blistering your hand when the fight is on. The Saltiga LD series also incorporates all CRBB ball bearings for a longer reel life and more consistent performance.

Field Notes

Lever drag conventional reel built for hard-fighting offshore species and heavy line. Best for trolling, live-baiting, or stand-up battles where smooth drag, high torque, and two-speed gearing help control big fish. Use it when you need maximum cranking power and reliable drag under sustained pressure.

Pros

  • One-piece machined aluminum frame and side plate for rigidity
  • Two-speed gearing for power and faster line pickup
  • Lever drag system with strong, consistent pressure

Cons

  • High price point
  • Specialized offshore reel, not ideal for light or casual use
