The new Saltiga Lever Drag reel is an impressive feat of engineering that will appeal to serious offshore anglers. Every bit of precision has been crafted meticulously into this series; it provides saltwater boat anglers with an overhead fishing reel that delivers smooth drag performance and boasts line capacity sure enough for Aussie conditions. The new Saltiga LD Reel is a one-of-a-kind edition among its peers in terms not only by way of durability but also of its capability.
All Saltiga LD reels feature a one-piece machined aluminium frame and side plate to assure precise alignment of bearings and gears for amazingly smooth performance, less flex, more power and reduced binding even during the fiercest battles. Oversized, super-hard, polished and meshed stainless steel main and pinion gears fit together perfectly to drive the kicking gear with extra strength and nearly silent precision while large spool bearings reduce side load so anglers can concentrate on fighting fish rather than the reel.
The acclaimed ATD Drag keeps each Saltiga LD cool during the heat of battle while providing consistent maximum pressure through the end game. A machined aluminium spool won't bend under high drag pressure or outwardly expand as you tightly wind on line. A machined aluminium rod clamp always keeps your reel tightly secured.
All single and smaller two-speed models, boast soft-touch rubber handles for fast, comfortable retrieves. The larger size 50 and 60 2-speed models feature a long T style offset aluminium power handle to improve leverage and comfort without blistering your hand when the fight is on. The Saltiga LD series also incorporates all CRBB ball bearings for a longer reel life and more consistent performance.
The 2020 LD series results from customer feedback and an uphill technology push from previous models. Automatic Tournament Drag provides mighty stopping power with smoothness. At the same time, Daiwa engineers redesigned and implemented a new drag cam and lever system, allowing for better handling of the most advanced braids or mono lines available in today's market. The overhaul means the new Saltiga LD is a better reel for jiggers and anglers who fish live baits.
It all starts with the precisely machined one-piece aluminium body and side plates. This rigid housing holds what sets Saltiga LD apart from the competition – a meticulously crafted drive gear & pinion gear made from insanely durable Stainless Steel. Stainless Steel gears are harder than brass and much more resistant to the harsh saltwater fields in which this reel will be used. Stainless Steel gearing is often criticised for lacking smoothness, but Daiwa engineers have overcome this, producing a gear set that is refined and smooth, yet more powerful & durable than anything else on the market.
Saltiga LD has had improvements in all areas of the reel, addressing areas of concern that top anglers identified with lever drag reels of the past. A drag cam design that is smooth and capable of handling both braid and monofilament lines is one of the obvious improvements. The lever itself has been totally redesigned to allow finite and precise drag control even at very low settings, a feature loved by livebait anglers especially. 20 Saltiga LD was designed to be beautifully simple, and incredibly strong. Available in single- and two-speed designs from size 10-60.
