The Daiwa Saltiga spinning reel was first introduced back in 2002, Daiwa’s flagship line of spinning reels made to be the new standard for heavy-duty saltwater spinning reels. The most updated model of the Saltiga came out in 2020, and now due to inshore and nearshore angler demand, there’s been another addition to the 2020 line. The Saltiga spinning reels are now available in the new 4000, 5000, and 6000 sizes.
These new smaller Saltiga’s have all the trappings of the larger sizes. They are built with Daiwa’s inimitable monocoque body. The monocoque design uses a one-piece frame with a one-piece threaded side plate. With no screws needed, there is more space to attach the side plate and hold the main gears. Additionally, because the screws were eliminated, there are fewer points for potential water intrusion into the reel. Housed in the monocoque body is the G1 Duralumin cut Digigear system, a gearing system developed with bigger teeth and more tough points for more gear strength and torque. These features are only the beginning of the Saltiga, it also features the Daiwa Longcast spool, Advanced Tournament Drag, the Daiwa Air Rotor, and so many others to make this a cutting-edge reel meant to last in the salt.
