25 SALTIGA

Turning the angler’s passion, smiles, and dreams into reel power.

---

A reel built with the strength to safely and surely catch unknown targets when that once-in-a-lifetime chance comes.
A reel built with the durability to perform at its best, even in harsh natural conditions, over the long term.
How do we achieve more than anglers expect?

Our answer was to throw away the old designs. Not just make improvements — but start completely from scratch.
We left the past behind and moved forward, with each developer taking the hopes of anglers to heart.

In 2025, SALTIGA has been reborn.

POWERDRIVE DESIGN Conceptual Diagram

Technologies

MONOCOQUE BODY

MQ Body takes reel design to the next level. The MQ system does not require a body cover, instead using an engine plate to screw directly to the body. Eliminating the need for screws to hold a body cover in place. MQ body improves the strength of the reel, it also improves the water-resistance of the body and allows a larger diameter drive gear to be installed.

POWERDRIVE DESIGN

A design philosophy that pursues toughness and power above all else to deliver anglers the ultimate strength.

 

---

POWERDRIVE ENGINE

Experience raw strength redefined with the POWERDRIVE ENGINE body unit. Featuring an OVERSIZED POWER DIGIGEAR and POWER ROLLER OSCILLATION system, it delivers unmatched winding power, smoothness and durability.

 

---

OVERSIZED POWER DIGIGEAR

Built with G1 duralumin for exceptional durability, the MONOCOQUE BODY design accommodates a larger, thicker gear—10% larger and 6% thicker than the previous model. Precisely engineered gear teeth enhance drive efficiency, while minimal deflection ensures stable, consistent meshing. This reduces power loss, providing smooth and effortless winding performance.

---

ROLLER POWER OSCILLATION

The redesigned two-ball bearing pillar support system enhances oscillation efficiency by 20%, ensuring smooth, responsive, and powerful winding, even under heavy loads. Frictional resistance is significantly reduced, providing reliable performance and ultimate control when tackling the strain of the largest fish in the ocean.

---

POWERDRIVE ROTOR

The new POWERDRIVE ROTOR is engineered for strength and efficiency. Crafted to handle the heaviest loads, this rotor delivers superior stability, allowing anglers to pull in the largest of fish with ease. The unique shape, which appears as though it was cut from a sphere, maintains low inertia and has an increased rigidity of 7%.

---

CRANK POWER BAIL

The new crank-shaped design directs line smoothly to the line roller without fail. The redesigned shape and spring mechanism enhances opening and closing angles, preventing unintentional bail movement. This improvement significantly enhances line feeding to the roller, especially during jigging and while the line is tensioned.

---

TOUGH LINE ROLLER SYSTEM

The redesigned TOUGH LINE ROLLER SYSTEM is enlarged to endure repeated heavy loads, and the updated design better integrates the screw with the bail arm. Removing joints at high-stress points enhances rigidity and durability around the line roller. The new line roller, optimised for PE braided lines, reduces sliding resistance by approximately 3%.

---

DRD

Drags that use carbon washers are highly durable, but DRD takes it to another level with a new drag mechanism designed to target larger fish. Equipped with eight metal rollers on a single metal plate, DRD controls the loss of drag force caused by frictional heat. It is smooth under pressure and is 5x times more durable.

---

ATD TOUGH

The ATD TOUGH DRAG delivers exceptional drag strength and smoothness. The large carbon drag stack provides anglers with the ultimate in smooth performance and reliability.

 

---

MAGSEALED

Daiwa’s unique waterproof structure shuts out the intrusion of seawater and dust by creating a magnetic oil wall and maintains a light and smooth initial rotation performance for a long period of time. The pinion gear is equipped with a MAGSEALED ball bearing that applies this technology to the ball bearing itself, which is the key to rotational performance. The waterproofness, durability, and rotation performance are further improved assuming use in salt water.

---

MAGSEALED LINE ROLLER

The line roller is directly exposed to water and sand from the line.
Improved waterproofing in this area helps maintain smooth rotation and sensitivity over time. It also reduces the chance of salt or debris getting inside, which improves rotation and helps reduce line twist.

---

LC-ABS SW

DAIWA’s “LC-ABS SW” technology enhances power and rigidity. The spool’s upper section is optimised with a two-step taper toward the spool ring, minimising friction for smoother line release.
