Daiwa 2025 Saltist Star Drag Reels

Prepare to elevate your saltwater angling with the 2025 Daiwa Saltist Star Drag (SD) Reels. Purpose-built to tame trophy gamefish, these reels feature a robust one-piece aluminum body and side plate that ensure exceptional corrosion resistance, structural rigidity, and reduced weight.

Silky Smooth, Durable Drag System

At the heart of the Saltist SD is Daiwa’s ATD (Advanced Tournament Drag) carbon fiber drag system, offering extraordinarily smooth drag payout that handles sudden hard runs without sacrificing durability. Complementing this is the centrifugal brake system (on the standard models), designed to ensure backlash-free casting and precise control under challenging conditions.

Corrosion-Resistant Bearings for Long-Term Performance

Featuring CRBB (Corrosion-Resistant Ball Bearings), both the standard and jigging Saltist SD models deliver smooth, dependable performance even when subjected to the most corrosive saltwater environments. This built-in protection ensures your reel stays reliable season after season.

Jigging Variation Tailored for Endurance

The 2025 Saltist SD Jigging series takes the foundation of the standard reel and tunes it for vertical jigging and sustained fight scenarios. It retains the same ATD drag and CRBB setup but is optimized to withstand the intense, repetitive stress of jigging applications. Whether you’re pushing metal deep or pulling lateral slabs from the depths, this model offers the resilience and smooth operation required for trophy-class battles.
