Daiwa Saltiga Ld 2020

Introducing the all-new Daiwa 20 Saltiga Lever Drag (LD), built from the ground up to meet the needs of the most demanding saltwater anglers around the world. Over half a decade in the making, the Saltiga LD combines everything learned from around the world.From the United States, South Africa, New Zealand and Australia, every piece of feedback and learning has been absorbed and transferred into what can only be described as the best lever reel ever made by Daiwa.It all starts with the precision machined one-piece aluminum body and side plates. This rigid housing contains what sets the Saltiga LD apart from the competition: a meticulously crafted drive gear and pinion made from incredibly durable stainless steel.Stainless steel gears are harder than brass and much more resistant to the harsh saltwater fields this reel will be used in. Stainless steel gears are often criticized for their lack of smoothness, but Daiwa engineers have overcome this problem, producing a refined and smooth gear set that is more powerful and durable than anything else on the market.The 20 Saltiga LD had improvements in all areas of the reel, addressing the areas of concern that top anglers identified with the lever reels of the past. A drag cam design that is smooth and can handle both braided and monofilament lines is one of the obvious improvements.The lever itself has been completely redesigned to allow for finite and precise drag control even at very low settings. 20 Saltiga LD is designed to be wonderfully simple and incredibly strong.
