SALTIGA!! BREAK YOUR RECORD - Seize Your Dreams - "Catch that fish someday." SALTIGA was born to make anglers' dreams come true. Inheriting the strongest genes of DAIWA offshore fishing, it continues to evolve with the latest technology. Its premise is to confront unknown giants. It continually challenges the limits of tackle, pursuing strength in every area, ease of use, and superior performance. The SALTIGA's mission is to create tackle that will reliably bring you closer to the fish of your dreams. Continuing to fulfill its purpose is to make anglers' dreams come true. Its reliable performance supports the dreams of anglers around the world. Going deeper. This flagship jigging baitcasting reel offers the ultimate in rotation, control, and durability. Everything is designed to help you "catch" the target fish. The SALTIGA continues to evolve, perfecting rotation, control, and durability. Daiwa's jigging baitcasting reels invite anglers to "go deeper." Three noteworthy features: Rotation: HYPERDRIVE DESIGN delivers powerful winding performance; Control: A thumb-holding frame that shifts the focus from "grip" to "finger hook"; Durability: Anode protection. Daiwa Technology! HYPERDRIVE DESIGN! This next-generation design concept for baitcasting (double-axis) reels dramatically improves all basic performance levels, aiming to maintain high initial performance for a long time. The HYPERDRIVE DESIGN is comprised of up to four technologies. The Hyper Drive Digigear, which maintains smooth rotation for a long time, is a prerequisite for this system. The Hyper Double Support system supports the gear drive, resulting in strong and light reeling. The Hyper Armed Housing provides strong support for the internal structure, resisting bending and distortion. The Hyper Tough Clutch, with its insulating structure, continues to function even in harsh locations and greatly reduces adhesion caused by salt buildup. These synergistic effects ensure stable performance in any field. HYPERDRIVE DIGIGEAR! A newly designed gear system for baitcasting and spinning reels that pursues strong and smooth rotation. This unique DAIWA technology maintains the initial smoothness for a long time by increasing the meshing rate without reducing the gear tooth module (size), which directly affects durability. HYPER DOUBLE SUPPORT! A drive support system that achieves sustained smoothness and strong, light reeling. High-precision support of both ends of the pinion gear with two ball bearings prevents attenuation of handle input, allowing for powerful and light reeling even under load. HYPER ARMED HOUSING! This housing system firmly supports the internal structure with high rigidity and precision, producing precise reeling feel and power. The use of metal materials for the essential frame is a prerequisite, and when combined with the side plates and set plates, it enables the basic performance to be maintained for even longer. HYPER TOUGH CLUTCH! This clutch system not only provides crisp on/off performance that continues to slide thousands or tens of thousands of times, but also operates extremely trouble-free, even in high-salinity seawater. This cutting-edge insulation structure has already reduced the number of repairs due to sticking in harsh saltwater environments by 99% compared to our previous models. MAGSEALED BALL BEARING! Daiwa, using its proprietary technology, is the first in the world to successfully mag-shield the ball bearing itself. The magnetic liquid barrier prevents water and foreign matter from entering the ball bearing, maintaining the ball bearing's original rotational performance while significantly eliminating rust, salt buildup, and noise. ATD! The ATD operates smoothly and continuously in response to the fish's pull. By pursuing smooth start and tracking, you can concentrate on the fight without worrying about the drag setting. Product Details: ■ Anode Protection: "Unbeatable durability, never decays." Anode Protection is a technology that reduces metal corrosion. Also known as a sacrificial anode, the anode (zinc) takes on the corrosion instead of the metal. By incorporating this technology into the reel, corrosion is concentrated on the anode plate, maintaining durability. This feature is a first for Daiwa reels. ■ Thumb Holding Frame: "Shifting from grip to finger grip." We analyzed various anglers' grip styles to pursue a shape that fits more comfortably in the hand. We developed the Thumb Holding Frame, which provides a thumb rest position that makes thumbing easier and reduces finger slippage. Taking into account the thumb position after disengaging the clutch, comfort is greatly improved. This completely new palming experience will revolutionize your conventional grip. ■75-85mm Aluminum Crank Handle Arm: "Strong and Tough Aluminum Handle Arm" We teamed up with Kazunari Shimizu to refine the standard model into a special specification. The standard model comes equipped with a 75-85mm aluminum crank handle arm, ideal for one-pitch jerks and side-mounted jig swimming. The 15 and 15L models feature a line capacity of 400m of PE3 and a gear ratio of 6.3 for powerful reeling and a strong drag, making them suitable for everything from inshore bluefish to yellowfin tuna, amberjack, and amberjack. The 15H and 15HL models feature a line capacity of 400m of PE3 and a gear ratio of 7.1 (115cm of reel length), making them ideal for dotera fishing and casting jig action. The 15S and 15SL models feature a gear ratio of 6.3 (103cm of reel length) and a shallow spool. It is effective when jigging at depths of less than 100m using 400m of PE1.5 and 300m of PE2.
