Daiwa 21 Saltist MQ

From beach fishing for Salmon and Tailor to advanced drone fishing and heavy-duty offshore game fishing, the new Daiwa Saltist MQ spinning reel is engineered to handle it all. Featuring a brand-new, single-piece aluminium Monocoque (MQ) body, this reel is purpose-built to withstand the rigours of Australian saltwater fishing.

One of Daiwa’s most iconic innovations, MAGSEAL, combines with the rigid MQ body to deliver unmatched protection against salt, sand, and spray—ideal for Aussie beach, boat, and reef anglers. Inside, a larger diameter Tough Digigear transfers power smoothly and efficiently, giving you the stopping force needed to turn hard-fighting fish in their tracks.

The tubular hollow Air Bail improves line lay and reduces tangles, making it perfect for casting light braid in windy coastal conditions—ideal for finesse lure work on Tailor or casting baits via drone for big pelagics.

Available in sizes from 4000 to 20000, the Saltist MQ covers everything from light estuary spinning to deep water jigging and big game battles on the reef. Whether you're chasing Salmon off the surf, dropping baits on offshore reefs, or drone fishing for GTs and Spanish mackerel, Saltist MQ delivers power, reliability, and performance.

All models now come equipped with a solid aluminium round knob for superior grip and comfort, even during long fights.
