Built for anglers chasing the biggest fish in the ocean, the Daiwa Saltiga LD 80 2-Speed Lever Drag Reel represents the pinnacle of Daiwa’s offshore lever drag reel development. After more than six years of engineering, testing and refinement, the Saltiga LD80-2SPD has been purpose-built to handle giant tuna, marlin and other powerful bluewater gamefish.
At its core is a one-piece, machined aluminium frame engineered to deliver exceptional rigidity under extreme drag pressures. The rigid construction helps keep the drivetrain aligned when you're putting serious pressure on a fish, while oversized stainless-steel gearing provides the cranking power and durability required for demanding offshore battles.
The Saltiga LD80 is equipped with Daiwa's ATD Carbon Drag, delivering up to 59.5 lb of smooth, consistent drag pressure. Combined with a high-capacity spool capable of holding up to 700 yards of 120 lb braid, this reel gives serious game anglers the line capacity and stopping power needed when a trophy fish makes a long run.
The 2-speed gearing system provides the versatility to switch between high-speed line recovery and a powerful low gear when maximum cranking power is needed. Whether you're clearing line quickly or putting relentless pressure on a heavy fish, the Saltiga LD80-2SPD is engineered to perform when the stakes are highest.
