Daiwa PT 300H Baitcast Reel

A powerful, budget-friendly large baitcaster built to handle big Aussie fish with confidence, control, and serious stopping power.

The Daiwa PT 300H Baitcast Reel is designed for anglers stepping into large-frame baitcasting or those wanting reliable performance without the premium price tag. With a strong aluminium body, generous line capacity, and a smooth, controllable casting system, it’s purpose-built for chasing hard-fighting species in freshwater and saltwater environments across Australia.

Ideal for impoundments, rivers, and inshore work, the PT 300H shines when targeting barra, Murray cod, mangrove jack, and other aggressive predators. Daiwa’s proven Magforce magnetic cast control helps reduce overruns, making this reel forgiving and easy to use for newer baitcaster anglers, while still offering the strength experienced anglers demand.

A clicking drag provides audible feedback during powerful runs, while the 13kg drag system and infinite anti-reverse ensure solid hook sets and confidence under load. Finished in a sleek low-profile design that punches well above its price point, the PT 300H is a true value-loaded performer ready to earn its place on your deck.
