Daiwa 20 Saltiga LD

Daiwa 20 Saltiga LD has a 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.ATD DragLever dragMachine cut alloy bodyStainless steel gearingDaiwa 20 Saltiga LD – 20HGear ratio: 6.3:1Bearings: 6Line capacity: 330 m/0.24 mmWeight: 495 gDrag: 26,5 lb/12 kgDaiwa 20 Saltiga LD – 35HGear ratio: 6.3:1Bearings: 6Line capacity: 330 m/0.40 mmWeight: 654 gDrag: 40 lb/18 kg
