Daiwa Saltiga BJ

Given the popularity of saltwater fishing, reducing water penetration into the reel is a major goal to minimise corrosion and promote longer life and better performance. If saltwater infiltrates a reel and dries, it crystallizes, and then erodes gears and bearings.Strength is everything in a larger reel. A solid base is the most important component for any reel. 17 Saltiga utilizes the Monocoque Body. The Monocoque body is a symmetrical, one-piece structure that will revolutionize future generations of spinning reel design.The Saltiga BJ 3500 and 4000 models were designed for offshore fishing or lure casting from rocky shores to target hard fighting fish like Kingfish. They need to be strong and resilient to the elements. Originally the Saltiga game models were extremely popular, introduced more than 15 years ago.The gears of the new models are embedded in the one-piece Monocoque body construction. Previously the body and a side cover/plate held the gearing in place. The new design allows the BJ models to be more rigid, with a better sealing mechanism, heralding the arrival of the next generation in reel designThe new Saltiga BJ models will give anglers opportunities for more powerful fishing styles with lighter tackle.
