Daiwa 25 Saltiga: THE MOST POWERFUL REEL YET Pre Order Arrival Estimate Early April (18-25k Models Early May) Over two decades of relentless refinement, the 25 SALTIGA stands at the pinnacle of strength and reliability. Featuring the groundbreaking POWERDRIVE DESIGN, it's built with an uncompromising focus on power and toughness to perform when it matters most. Engineered Power & Performance The Daiwa 25 SALTIGA is all muscle, designed to help you "BREAK YOUR RECORD" and capture trophy fish, cast after cast. With a gear over 10% larger than its predecessor, the 25 SALTIGA delivers unmatched strength and precision you can feel with every turn. No Failures. No Compromises. When the pressure is on, 25 SALTIGA delivers. The one-piece MONOCOQUE BODY and MAGSEALED technology ensure superior water resistance, keeping out salt and impurities for consistent, reliable performance in all conditions Control in Every Turn Smooth and controlled, even against the hardest runs. The Daiwa 25 SALTIGA's POWERDRIVE DESIGN and POWERDRIVE ROTOR minimise start-up inertia, while the new DRD/ATD TOUGH DRAG system delivers constant pressure for unmatched control during the fight. Fish Harder, Fish Longer. Engineered for balance and comfort, POWERDRIVE DESIGN lets you fish harder, longer, and stronger. Meticulously balanced for a better feel in hand, engineered for stamina, to keep you on the water from dawn to dusk chasing giants.   POWERDRIVE DESIGN The next generation of large spinning reels has been designed in pursuit of powerful reliability, enabling anglers to target the largest fish around the world. POWERDRIVE DESIGN consists of two technology units: the body unit “POWERDRIVE ENGINE” and the rotor unit “POWERDRIVE ROTOR”. 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. 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. 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%. The POWERDRIVE ROTOR ensures that each turn of the handle translates into a smoother, more powerful retrieve, even under extreme pressure. 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%. The new crank-shaped design directs the line smoothly to the line roller without fail. The redesigned shape and spring mechanism enhance 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. DRD | ATD TOUGH 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.
