The Daiwa Saltist MQ Spinning Reel is a high-performance fishing reel designed to tackle the toughest saltwater environments. It incorporates several advanced technologies to enhance durability, strength, and performance.
- Monocoque (MQ) Body: The one-piece aluminum MQ body eliminates the need for a traditional sideplate, allowing for a larger drive gear and increased strength and water resistance.
- Magsealed Main Shaft: Utilizes Magsealed technology to protect the main shaft from water and debris, ensuring smooth operation and longevity.
- Zaion Air Rotor: Constructed from Zaion, a lightweight and rigid material, the Air Rotor provides enhanced sensitivity and balance during retrieves.
- Tough DigiGear: Features a digitally designed, machine-cut gearing system that ensures ultimate gear precision, rotational smoothness, and strength.
- Air Bail: The hollow tubular stainless steel bail delivers maximum rigidity and strength with minimal weight, facilitating smooth line control.
- Automatic Tournament Drag (ATD): Provides a smooth and consistent drag performance, essential for battling large fish.
