Daiwa Saltist Star Drag — Power, Precision & Reliability Offshore
Combining Daiwa’s latest engineering with the proven toughness that’s made the Saltist name legendary, the Saltist Star Drag (SD) delivers performance and strength that offshore anglers can trust.
Constructed from machined aluminium for maximum corrosion resistance, the Saltist SD features four CRBB stainless-steel bearings and a centrifugal braking system for exceptional casting control and smooth performance.
Inside, Digigear technology provides silky-smooth cranking and durability under load, while the 6.4:1 gear ratio strikes the perfect balance between power and speed. With up to 10 kg of drag pressure, this reel has the stopping power to tame reef dwellers and pelagics alike.
Built to handle everything from snapper to mackerel, the Saltist SD punches well above its weight — all without breaking the bank.
