Daiwa Saltiga
Offshore fishing would demand plenty from both you and your tackle. Of course, the last thing you would want to be worrying about is being left unprepared for that catch of a lifetime. However, new advances when it comes to technology have made possible, the continuous refinement of the fused and braided superlines. The Daiwa Saltiga was designed to harness those lines to bring out their full potential and up the ante even further when it comes to premium offshore tackling. Both the Saltiga reels that were released just this year alone were designed to cater to the discerning offshore enthusiast and aims to deliver the utmost level of refinement as well as performance to all anglers who are willing and able to shell out for the pretty steep price for this reel that was designed from the ground up to deliver nothing but the best saltwater performance.
When it comes to design, the Saltiga is one of the most sophisticated and cleanest looking reels out there. Clean lines obscure nothing and the reel itself has very few parts that are prone to any kind of damage. It also feels extremely solid in the hand which is thanks to its compact frame and sideplates which were actually cut from aircraft-grade aluminum bar stock. It is designed to show no flex regardless of the size of the fish you have caught. It also has larger gears which are great when it comes to handling the extreme pressures and strain placed on it during the tug of war. So, if you are willing to shell out a few more dollars in exchange for a reel that nothing short of a work of art, then the Daiwa Saltiga is for you.
