The Daiwa Saltiga G features an enhanced MONOCOQUE body with expanded internal capacity for a larger drive gear, delivering superior durability through engine plate construction that eliminates screw fasteners. Its streamlined profile minimizes line tangles during casts with heavier lines, extending casting distance by approximately 2%. The advanced DRD drag system utilizes eight metal rollers mounted on a single metal plate with carbon washers, engineered to handle larger saltwater species while resisting heat-induced drag fade. Models 18000 and above employ the ATD TOUGH DRAG SYSTEM, featuring an oversized carbon drag stack for uncompromising strength and consistency when battling powerful fish.
