DAIWA 18 SALTIST Overhead

To continue on from the famed Daiwa Saltiga Star Drag, the Daiwa 18 Saltist Overhead is based on the same bulletproof body. Alternatively, it is die-cast instead of forged. It is constructed from aluminium and anodised for maximum corrosion resistance.

The Saltist Star Drag’s internals are equally made to last and perform; thanks to Daiwa’s famous Digigear gear technology. Digigear features a digitised, high-precision cutting technique that achieves perfect gear meshing and ultra-smooth performance. Made from a new-age alloy, Digigear is ultra-strong, corrosion-resistant, and lighter than any gear that Daiwa have developed before. This reduction in weight allows larger gears to be used. As a result, it achieves greater gear and reel durability and provides superior gear performance, strength and precision.

Featuring stainless steel ball bearings for maximum corrosion resistance, and a centrifugal braking system for effortless, user-friendly casting adjustment and control, the Saltist Star Drag’s casting performance is stunning, to say the least with its true freespool feature allowing long effortless casts regardless of the conditions or the angler.

This uninhibited spool design allows for effortless line payout, making the Saltist Star Drag perfect for techniques and fishing styles such as live baiting and float lining.

A 6.4:1 gear ratio makes the Saltist Star Drag the perfect all-rounder whether you’re jigging the depths for Samson fish, floating lining for snapper or trying to muscle kingfish from cover.

The Daiwa 18 Saltist Overhead doesn’t lack muscle either with plenty of pulling power at your fingertips thanks to its powerful and smooth drag.

Additionally, it has a price tag that’s sure to impress. the Daiwa 18 Saltist Overhead is a reel that punches well above its weight yet doesn’t break the bank.
