DAIWA is proud to announce the newest iteration of their flagship big game spinning reel, the new 2025 Saltiga. These new reels are now available in several massive sizes, starting at 8000 and going up to 25000. These new supersize 25 Saltiga reels are made to handle the largest game fish you can reasonably tackle. From chasing the “Silver King” tarpon inshore or throwing plugs at cow tuna offshore, the new 25 Saltiga can handle it. These new reels are loaded to the gills with top-notch features that are purpose-made to make this DAIWA‘s toughest spinning reel to date. MSRP for the reels starts at $1099.99 and goes up to $1199.99 on the larger sizes of reels.
Daiwa 2025 Saltiga Spinning Reel Key Features
- Monocoque Frame – One-piece aluminum alloy body that serves as a rigid and flex-proof frame for the reel, that eliminates screws and sockets for fewer water and dirt intrusion points into the reel.
- Powerdrive Design – Daiwa’s next generation of large spinning reels for targeting the largest fish in the ocean.
- Powerdrive Engine – Combining the oversized Power Digigear and Roller Power Oscillation to make a powerful, smooth, and efficient reel.
- Powerdrive Rotor – A high-strength spherical aluminum rotor that is rigid but low inertia. The rotor shape is symmetrical and highly balanced around the axis of rotation.
- DRD Drag – A completely new drag mechanism equipped with eight metal rollers on one metal plate, replacing traditional carbon drag washers. This prevents drag force decrease due to frictional heat and is five times as durable as traditional drags.
- Crank Power Bail – A new bail shape with an optimally inclined crank angle and strengthened spring mechanisms to keep tension on the line better.
- Tough Line Roller System – The roller shaft features a larger support surface and is integrated with the bail arm.
- Magsealed – The main shaft, line roller, and drive gear ball-bearing are sealed with a magnetic liquid wall.
- Corrosion Resistant Ball Bearings (CRBB) – DAIWA’s CRBB ball bearings are shielded to seal out sand, fine grit, salt crystals, and other abrasives for a longer life
- ATD Tough Drag System – Employs an advanced drag grease that exhibits low viscosity at rest yet becomes more viscous immediately after drag start-up.
- LC ABS SW Spool – Designed for use with heavy braids, the LC ABS SW spool greatly enhances power and rigidity. The spool’s upper section is optimized with a two-step taper toward the spool ring, minimizing friction for smoother line release.
- Ball Bearings – 2 Magsealed Ball Bearings, 4 Corrosion Resistant Ball Bearing, 8 Stainless Resistant Ball Bears + 1 Roller Bearing
- Reel Sizes – 8000, 10000, 14000, 18000, 20000, 25000
