The Daiwa Saltiga 2022 15HL Casting Reel is a high-performance reel designed for saltwater fishing, particularly vertical techniques such as jigging and slow jigging. Crafted in Japan, this reel incorporates Daiwa's latest technologies to deliver exceptional strength, durability, and smoothness.
- Hyper Drive Design: This design includes four key reinforcements:
- Hyper Armed Housing: Enhances the rigidity of the monoblock aluminum body for improved strength.
- Hyper Drive Digigear: A new control wheel aimed at improving strength without compromising smoothness.
- Hyper Double Support: Provides unparalleled support for the pinion and crown gears, enhancing strength and precision.
- Hyper Tough Clutch: Reinforces the engagement lever to ensure high robustness.
- Magsealed Ball Bearing: Utilizes magnetic oil to create a watertight seal, preventing water, dust, and grit from entering the reel, thereby extending its lifespan.
- ATD (Advanced Tournament Drag) System: Provides a smooth and consistent drag performance, reducing spool twist under load and minimizing drag "pulsing" during fish fights.
- Long Cast ABS Spool: Features a maximized core diameter and reversed taper, allowing for longer and easier casting with reduced friction.
