Daiwa 18 SALTIST The Saltist 20 has earned a deserved reputation with beach and boat anglers looking for a high speed powerful multiplier. This third generation '18' model leans heavily on the up market Saltiga reel and these design tweaks take the Saltist to a new level of power and smoothness. It is an attractive looking reel with the matt black finish of the frame and side-plates nicely off set by the black anodised spool and handle plus the blue detailing on the spool, tension knob and star drag. The one piece machined aluminium frame gives strength and rigidity and both the frame and matching side-plate have an anodised finish to avoid corrosion. Daiwa's lightning fast 6.4:1 Digigear system coupled with the adjustable cranked handle and large EVA knob make short work of retrieving gear and fish. If you are fortunate enough to hook a fish which pulls back then the smooth and consistent 8kg star drag system help you to play your prize to the net. A centrifugal braking system gives you spool control for long trouble free casting and the 4 + 1 Stainless ball bearings keep everything running silky smooth. The reel is great for mixed to rough ground shore fishing, uptide fishing and general inshore bottom fishing on the boat as well as drift fishing and working jigs. Strong Compact and Light Suited to line classes from 15 to 50lb mono or braid to 100lbs Up to 25lbs Drag Constructed from machined aluminium 4 CRBB ball bearings and a roller bearing Anodized for maximum corrosion resistance Extremely smooth freespool Centrifugal Breaking System for control and longer casts.

Been jigging with the reel and so far it has performed well. If you want a light star drag for jigging I would recommend.

In NC and we fish for Grouper, I have the 15p,20p,35p,30 and they are all great reels..plenty of drag and I mean plenty of lock down drag right out of the box!!!! Small enough to be really comfortable and it's smooth as a mf..I like it better then the new Saltiga high speed reels...I have alot of reels and I mean alot but this reel is the best I have..plenty of line capacity on the 15 or 20 and I use 50# braid on both and 80 on the 35p .the 35p is a monster and I use it for bigger Grouper and big Amberjacks fishing big baits and it has to much drag but light for its size..For cod,big stripers the 20p should be good unless your in deep water dropping heavy weights, then u go to the 35p and your covered wich has,a narrow spool but holds a ton of line..u can't go wrong ... MoreIn NC and we fish for Grouper, I have the 15p,20p,35p,30 and they are all great reels..plenty of drag and I mean plenty of lock down drag right out of the box!!!!

The 35h is a great reel for a jig rod almost as good if not better then a Trinidad 20A or 16A at half the price The drag is smooth and power of the reel is on par with any reel this size...so far I have found no down side to it...I have two of them on two jig rods ready to go.... put it on a UC 90 monster for throwing Tady45s or 7Xs A wonderful reel for the starting jig tosser there cheap and get it done....

Fantastic quality reel for a brilliant price, described as ex-display with no box, arrived well wrapped not a mark on it, perfect
I upgraded from some mediocre reels to actually spending some money on this reel. From the very start I have been pleased with everything about this reel. I'm so pleased l plan on buying another.
Great service
I have the older 35h black gold, it is light and powerful, we use it for bottom fishing it is very fast to retrieve your line or fish when you fish deep. It is working after 3 years of hardworking with no maintenance at all.
Great looking and rock solid design. Feels strong in your hand and durable.Great for all types of fishing. We focus on grouper and snapper on wrecks and reefs and this beast has plenty of drag to separate the fish from the structure.Wish I could sell all my reels and start over with a fleet of these
I need to cast with it I am using mono only 30 lb ,trying today ,down at the beach, with a 10, 11-6. and a 12 footer...spool a little small ,my fault beautifully built,smooth,pretty well balanced , I am unfairly comparing it to a saltiga 30 t ...I am sure this will be a great reel ..
