Daiwa Saltist
Described as having a "full metal jacket" the saltist multipliers do indeed benefit from an all metal construction, ridget one piece aluminium frame and side plates. Designed to withstand the heavy loads of todays super braids, Saltist reels deliver true workhorse levels of power and durability. The combination of ridged drive train support and precisely designed gear ratios give these reels a serious advantage in both toque and speed. They not only pull in over a yard of line with every turn of the handle turn, winding power is up 30% than similar reels. Four ball bearings and a roller bearing add efficiency to the drive train support, with Daiwa's special CRBB corrosion resistant ball bearings supporting the spool. However the Saltist reels are not reserved for down tiding alone.
Fitted with centrifugal brakes each reel is ideal for uptiding powerful shore work. The drag is also beefed up, combining stainless and grease impregnated fibre washers in a wet system that delivers up to 22% greater drag max than similar reels.The range includes three super High Speed versions, retrieving at 6.4:1 recovering almost 1.2m per handle turn.
