Daiwa 20 Saltiga Spin Reel

The Daiwa 20 Saltiga Spin Reel delivers uncompromising offshore power, extreme drag performance and elite Japanese engineering for serious blue-water anglers.

The Daiwa 20 Saltiga Spin Reel is purpose-built for anglers targeting the toughest saltwater species on the planet. Combining Daiwa’s Monocoque aluminium body design with an oversized G1 Duralumin Tough Digigear, the Saltiga delivers incredible winding power, exceptional rigidity and unmatched durability under extreme offshore pressure.

Designed for casting stickbaits and poppers at giant trevally, kingfish and tuna or working jigs and live baits for amberjack, samson fish and reef species, the 20 Saltiga provides smooth cranking, massive drag pressure and reliable sealing in harsh Australian saltwater conditions. The rigid aluminium Air Rotor improves stability under load while the ABS Longcast spool enhances casting performance with heavy braid setups.
