Daiwa Saltist Big Game Reels

First came Daiwa
Saltist conventional
reels for small game.

Then came Saltist
Lever Drag Reels
for bigger game.

Now comes a lever-drag,
big-game version to tackle
even heavier bruisers,
such as large tuna and billfish.

Daiwa Saltist Big Game Reels are built to be rugged, with an aluminum frame, heavy-gauge construction and large gearing.

Available in two-speed
and single-speed, the reels
are now hitting the stores
in 20- and 30-class models.



The two-speed model.



Forty- and 50-class models will be distributed in December.

Push-button shift.

Some of the technical aspects
include a dual-disc drag like
disc brakes on a sports car for
a smooth, consistent performance.

For techo-heads who want to
know more details about aspects
like bearings, the construction of
the frame and so on, visit the
Daiwa Web site by clicking on
the link below.

The two-speed version switches
between high speed or high
power with the press of a button.  

The different models range from
$249.95 to $349.95.
