Daiwa Saltiga LD Lever Drag Conventional Reel – SAGLD35-2SPD

The Daiwa Saltiga LD Lever Drag Conventional Reels are designed to excel in blue water environments. With a wide range of models available, these reels offer smooth and reliable performance for saltwater anglers in any fishery. The Saltiga LD features a single-piece machined aluminum frame and side plate, ensuring precise alignment of bearings and gears for smooth operation even during intense battles. The spool is also made from solid aluminum, providing durability and resistance to heavy drag pressures. The incorporation of all Corrosion Resistant Ball-Bearings (CRBB) helps maintain smoothness over time. The reel's core consists of oversized stainless steel gears that deliver powerful and precise power transfer. The Advanced Tournament Drag (ATD) system, combined with proprietary grease, ensures powerful and smooth drags even during long fights with big fish. The single-speed and smaller two-speed models come with soft-touch rubber handles for comfortable retrieves, while the larger size models feature a long “T” style offset aluminum power handle for improved leverage. The SAGDL35JH is designed for jigging, with a narrower spool and more compact frame. All models are equipped with a substantial spool clicker that serves as a strike indicator. The max drag ranges from 22 to 45 pounds, depending on the model, and the line retrieve per handle turn varies from 39.9″ to 47″. The tournament style sailfish models have a finely adjustable drag curve and a max drag setting of 22 pounds, making them suitable for use with circle hooks and lighter monofilament lines. These high-speed models offer fast retrieval speeds. The Daiwa Saltiga LD Conventional Reels feature several technologies, including an aluminum body for strength and lightness, DigiGear for efficiency and smoothness, corrosion-resistant ball bearings for durability, and the ATD Drag system for consistent drag pressure.
