Daiwa Saltist Star Drag Conventional Reels

The Daiwa Saltist Star Drag Conventional Reel is a compact, high-performance reel built for a wide range of saltwater applications, from live bait fishing and bottom fishing to jigging and trolling. Constructed from machined anodized aluminum, it offers outstanding strength and corrosion resistance while maintaining a lightweight profile. Available in multiple sizes, the Saltist series accommodates line classes from 12 to 50 lb monofilament and braided line up to 100 lb test, making it a versatile choice for targeting everything from inshore species to offshore gamefish.

Equipped with Daiwa's smooth ATD carbon fiber drag system, the reel delivers up to 25 pounds of consistent drag pressure to handle powerful fish with confidence. CRBB corrosion-resistant ball bearings provide long-lasting smoothness in harsh saltwater environments, while the true freespool design allows for longer casts and unrestricted line payout when fishing live bait. Models are available with either a fast 6.4:1 gear ratio for jigging and quick line recovery or a powerful 5.1:1 ratio for increased torque when battling larger fish.
