Daiwa Saltist Conventional Star Drag Reels
New for 2018, the Saltist is now more ready than ever to do battle with sea-dwelling species. Constructed out of machined aluminum and anodized for maximum corrosion resistance, these reels are able to stand up to rigors of all day fishing on the ocean. The uninhibited free spool produces longer casts and is ideal for live bait scenarios. With 6 different sizes to choose from, there is an option for line classes from 12- to 50-pound test mono and for braid up to 100-pounds. The drag system can apply as much as 25-pounds of pressure to the spool. The 6.4 to 1 gear ratio is fast enough for jigging yet powerful enough to put big fish on the deck.
To have your reel professionally spooled for only the cost of the line itself*, feel free to visit our Braided Line Per-Yard page or try some of our customers' favorite lines below!
*All reels will be backed with 20lb Clear Berkley Trilene Big Game Monofilament to fill the spool at no additional cost if the ordered length of braid alone does not fill the spool. To have your reel spooled with straight braid, either: 1. Order a quantity of braid that will overfill the spool and we will refund the difference, or 2. Contact Us with your request and we will promptly spool your reel and contact you with the exact length of braid to add to your order. For more detailed spooling instructions, such as the additions of leaders or topshots using specific knots, crimps, and/or hollow core splices, please Contact Us as well. If you can dream it, we can rig it!
