More than two decades of relentless development have propelled the DAIWA SALTIGA reel to the pinnacle of strength and reliability. Thanks to the groundbreaking POWERDRIVE DESIGN technology, it is engineered with an uncompromising focus on power and durability to deliver maximum performance when it matters most.
Designed for Maximum Strength and Performance
The 25 SALTIGA reel is a pure powerhouse, built to help you "BREAK YOUR RECORD" and land trophy fish, cast after cast. With a gear ratio more than 10% larger than its predecessor, the 25 SALTIGA delivers unparalleled strength and precision you can feel with every turn of the handle.
The one-piece MONOCOQUE body and MAGSEALED technology ensure superior water resistance, protecting the reel from salt and impurities, guaranteeing consistent and reliable performance in all conditions.
Thanks to POWERDRIVE DESIGN technology and the POWERDRIVE ROTOR, the 25 SALTIGA minimizes start-up inertia, while the new DRD/ATD TOUGH DRAG braking system provides steady pressure for unmatched control during the fight.
POWERDRIVE ENGINE
Experience redefined raw power with the POWERDRIVE ENGINE body unit. Featuring an oversized POWER DIGIGEAR and POWER ROLLER OSCILLATION system, it delivers unmatched winding power, smoothness, and exceptional durability.
OVERSIZED POWER DIGIGEAR – SIZE THAT COMMANDS PERFORMANCE
Built from G1 duralumin for exceptional durability, the MONOCOQUE BODY design accommodates a larger and stronger gear — 10% larger and 6% thicker than the previous model. Precisely engineered gear teeth enhance power transmission efficiency, while minimal deflection ensures stable, smooth gear meshing. The result is reduced power loss and effortless winding performance.
ROLLER POWER OSCILLATION – SMOOTH OPERATION UNDER LOAD
The redesigned two-ball bearing pillar support system increases oscillation efficiency by 20%, ensuring smooth, responsive, and powerful winding even under heavy loads. Frictional resistance is significantly reduced, delivering reliable performance and maximum control when battling the largest ocean fish.
POWERDRIVE ROTOR
The new POWERDRIVE ROTOR is engineered for maximum strength and efficiency. Built to handle the heaviest loads, it provides superior stability, allowing anglers to easily land even the largest catches. Its unique shape, reminiscent of a cut sphere, maintains low inertia while increasing rigidity by 7%. The POWERDRIVE ROTOR ensures every turn of the handle translates into smooth, powerful retrieves—even under extreme pressure.
TOUGH LINE ROLLER SYSTEM – ENHANCED LINE MANAGEMENT
The redesigned TOUGH LINE ROLLER SYSTEM has been enlarged to withstand repeated heavy loads, and the updated design better integrates the screw with the bail arm. Removing joints at high-stress points enhances rigidity and durability around the line roller. The new line roller, optimized for PE braided lines, reduces sliding resistance by approximately 3%.
DRD DRAG SYSTEM
Carbon washer drags are highly durable, but the DRD system takes durability to the next level with a new drag mechanism designed for targeting larger fish. Equipped with eight metal rollers on a single metal plate, the DRD controls drag force loss caused by frictional heat. It runs smoothly under pressure and is five times more durable.
ATD TOUGH DRAG SYSTEM
The ATD TOUGH DRAG system delivers exceptional drag strength and smoothness. The large carbon drag stack provides anglers with the ultimate in smooth performance and reliability.
