Daiwa Saltist Star Drag Levelwind Conventional Reels

The Daiwa Saltist Star Drag Levelwind Conventional Reels combine rugged saltwater construction with a user-friendly levelwind system for trolling, bottom fishing, and other conventional applications. A rigid aluminum frame and side plate provide a solid foundation under load, while the lightweight aluminum spool helps maintain smooth performance. Daiwa's DIGIGEAR system uses precisely engineered gearing to optimize gear contact for a smooth combination of power, speed, and durability.

Daiwa's Advanced Tournament Drag (ATD) system delivers smooth drag startup and consistent pressure when fighting powerful fish, while corrosion-resistant ball bearings provide added protection in demanding saltwater environments. The integrated levelwind evenly distributes line across the spool, and a bait clicker, spool-tension adjustment, and easily accessible star drag provide straightforward control. Depending on model, the Saltist LW series offers gear ratios from 6.1:1 to 6.4:1 and maximum drag ratings from 15.4 to 20 pounds.
