Daiwa Saltiga LD Lever Drag Conventional Reel – SAGLD40H

The Daiwa Saltiga LD Lever Drag Conventional Reels are designed to excel in blue water environments and offer exceptional performance. With a wide range of models, there is a reel for every saltwater angler. These reels feature a single-piece machined aluminum frame and side plate, ensuring precise alignment and smooth performance even during intense battles. The spool is also made from solid aluminum, providing strength and resistance to heavy drag pressures. The incorporation of Corrosion Resistant Ball-Bearings (CRBB) ensures long-lasting smoothness. The reel's core consists of oversized stainless steel gears that deliver powerful and silent power transfer. The Advanced Tournament Drag (ATD) system with proprietary grease enables powerful and smooth drags, even during long fights. The handles are designed for fast and comfortable retrieves, with soft-touch rubber handles in single-speed and smaller two-speed models, and a long “T” style offset aluminum power handle in larger two-speed models. The SAGDL35JH model is built with jigging in mind, featuring a narrower spool and compact frame for lighter weight and comfortable use. All models have a substantial spool clicker for strike indication. The max drag ranges from 22 to 45 pounds, while the line retrieve per handle turn varies from 39.9″ to 47″. The tournament sailfish models have a finely adjustable drag curve, ideal for circle hooks and lighter monofilament lines, with a max drag of 22 pounds and retrieval speeds of up to 56″ per handle turn. The Daiwa Saltiga LD Conventional Reels incorporate advanced technologies, including an aluminum body for strength and lightweight, DigiGear for efficiency and smoothness, Corrosion Resistant Ball Bearings for durability, and ATD Drag for consistent drag pressure.
