daiwa_logo.gif (3046 bytes)Daiwa Saltwater Reels Daiwa produces some excellent reels, and they've really done some great things with their newest additions to the line. This Japanese manufacturer is very conservative, they are slow to introduce new contraptions, but once developed they stay with a winner. An indication of this is the Black Gold spinning series. I've been using these reels since I lived back in Texas...that's since 1984! The BG series are, in my opinion, as good a spinning reel you can buy for anywhere near the selling price. The conventional style SL20 and 30 baitcasters are standards out here, and very well regarded for their light line handling, casting, and smooth drags.  Diawa has some very strong contenders in the saltwater arena, and their new models really hit the nail on the head. Frankly, Daiwa's quality and innovation in reel design was one big reason why we elected to move away from Shimano's anti-competitive BS.  Daiwa represents a better competitive value, their quality is quite evident and they allow us to offer our clients a better value without the anti-competitive routine of the folks from Shimano. Within the Japanese market, Daiwa has long been considered the best. They don't build bikes, they build fishing reels...properly.

What's New - Saltist Star Drag Reels & Saltist Lever Drags 

Daiwa Saltist Star Drag Reels
New Models Arrive Early and...
 we're including a $25 Gift Card with purchase!

While we were indeed sorry to see the old series of Saltist star drag reels go away, I've got to say we are more than pleased to see the new ones arrive so soon. We've got 'em, even though they weren't supposed to be here until mid to late July! They're HERE!

The New Saltist Black Gold reels share some common features, such as a one piece aluminum frame and sideplate, four CRBB (corrosion resistant ball bearings) plus roller bearing. One of the big changes is the finish of these reels. They are now anodized instead of painted (yes, the older series had a painted finish, very good but not as good as an anodized finish when it comes to wear). The drag has also been upgraded to Daiwas's Ultimate Tournament carbon drag which provides increased drag performance. There's an infinite anti-reverse, machined aluminum spool and a centrifugal anti-backlash control, and all the reels have clickers! There are some significant upgrades on these reels, making them an even better value than the older models. Pricing has not changed dramatically from the older series, and that's some very good news, too!

NEW Daiwa Saltist LD HYPERSPEED

Here's the first of Daiwa's NEW Product Introductions for the 2010 fishing season, the Saltist LD Hyper Speed lever drag. The new reels feature a blazing fast 7.3:1 gear ratio, exactly what may be required to trigger an aggressive jig strike from fast moving predatory fish. Folks targeting wahoo, kings in the Gulf or breezing yellowtail off California will certainly appreciate what these powerful speedsters can accomplished. For folks working deepwater jigs, the added retrieve speed will especially come in handy for those times when you need some speed to get bit, and also for those times when you've failed to get bit and it's time to bring the line back in for another shot at the fish. Like the other lever drag reels in the new Saltist line up, you get up to eight CRBB corrosion resistant ball bearings, precision helical cut stainless steel gears. Tournament quality carbon drags, offset power handle, round speed knob, all aluminum frame and left sideplate made from one solid piece of metal. These reels are anodized, not painted. They also have a dual infinite anti-reverse, and a machined aluminum spool. Lots of quality in the production, lots of innovative creativity in the design add up to a series of reels destined to many, many years of pleasurable fishing.

Please note, we don't use the "canned" images supplied by the manufacturer, we actually have the reels in stock, and that's what we shoot. The model 40 pictured is Daiwa's prototype, that one we had to borrow for the image since it's not available yet. But the 20 and 30 are in our inventory...now!

Daiwa Sealine Reels!

Daiwa's Sealine-X Saltwater Casting and Jigging Reels
These new and enhanced reels are Baja X-Treme, they are not for relaxed fishing, they're made for hyperactive first to the boil gets bit fishing. The reels are excellent for tossing iron or bait. Reels in this series  reels feature Super Speed Shaft for longer casts (like a neutral), selectable centrifugal casting brakes, waterproof sealed drags - waterproof, fast gearing, tough marine bronze and stainless gears,
aluminum spool, composite frame and sideplates, rod clamp... For 2006 Daiwa upgraded the reel by adding improved CRB bearings for enhanced corrosion resistance. Unlike another well advertised Japanese manufacturer Daiwa uses shielded bearings for greater service life. The handle was also upgraded for 2006.

The Sealine reels are a very strong value, offering great performance at a very reasonable price. In past charters I've seen the 40 and 50 models bring in tuna over 100 pounds! That's a nice score for a lightweight casting reel, with a high gear ratio no less.

Daiwa Saltist Reels!

Daiwa Saltist Series - winners of the 2009 ICAST Best Saltwater Reel Honors, the new Saltist Lever Drag and their newest Big Game Series and Spinning reels. The new reels are all here, with the exception of two larger Saltist casting sized lever drags (40/50). Those will be arriving in November/December.

The newest from Daiwa, Saltist Leverdrag Two Speeds...earned top honors at ICAST BEST NEW SALTWATER REEL 2009!
 

Daiwa Saltist Lever Drag
2 Speed Reels!

Daiwa introduced a new series of saltwater reels based upon their very popular and well designed Saltist series of cast aluminum reels. These new reels offer some features sure to please anglers looking to combine both speed of retrieve and cranking power.  While the smallest size reels arrived first, we've now received ALL models into our inventor: 20, 30, 40 & 50 sizes are all here now.

Certainly Daiwa took a look at what Avet's been up to for the past few years and came to the realization that spectra has changed the game in favor of the use of smaller gear for bigger fish - if that gear is up to the challenge. Daiwa also upgraded the drag material to a carbon fiber design (again more like Avet's been offering on all their reels). Daiwa states that the reels will have 13-17#'s of drag with freespool, and button down at 22-26#'s of drag. Pretty impressive specs if they can live up to that level of performance. They also feature 6 bearings, and a 6.3:1 & 3:1 gear ratio.  All in all, it appears that Daiwa will have some winners on their hands with the new Saltist Lever Drag reels.

 

Introduced at the same time as the two-speed LD's, Daiwa produced the same reels in a single speed form. These single speed reels all share a 6.3:1 gear ratio, and 13#'s of drag measured at strike with freespool performance (manufacturer's spec). Like the 2-speeds, the little 20 will hold about 325 yards of 15# and 210 of 20# mono, the larger 30 size will hold 295 yds of 20# and 230 of 25# line. The 40 holds270 yds of 30# mono, the 50 holds 310 yds of 40#. Pictured Right: the 40 & 50 size Saltist 2 speed.

 

(You might notice, our pictures look a bit different than most wanna-be imitators. That's because we actually have inventory, we shoot our own pictures - from our own merchandise. May not seem like a big deal, but it is. It means we actually have stock, we don't blow smoke, we run a million dollar inventory so we can ship your order in a timely fashion. Beware of phantoms of the 'net. There are plenty who present a big image, but the reality is something quite different. We've been around for over 12 years as a legitimate retailer and e'tailer. We were the first saltwater specialty internet retailer - we do things right...and treat folks the way we ourselves would like to be treated.)
We're offering FREE SPECTRA SPOOLING on these reels as an introductory special. Due to our ordering script, the Spectra will carry a charge of 1 cent, however the price of the reel will be reduced by the same amount...so it's free, and it's the good stuff that's being offered.

Daiwa Saltist Levelwind!

Daiwa's Saltist Levelwinds -
The Saltist Series of reels have proven themselves the best in their class. The right combination of quality construction, excellent performance, saltwater proven components. Now the same level of quality is available in a levelwind reel!

The reel has all the same features in terms of construction as the standard Saltist, but with the addition of the levelwind and addition of two CRBB bearings for a total of four instead of 2 CRBB and 2 BB on the non-levelwinds (so that's a change for the better). Maybe they'll spin a bit less, but they'll require less regular  maintenance.

Rugged all metal construction with rigid one-piece aluminum frame
Four CRBB shielded corrosion-resistant ball bearings and a roller  bearing
High strength alloy gears
Up to 30% greater winding power
Super drag with up to 22#'s of drag max
Dual anti-reverse systems
Dual position power handle
Aluminum rod clamp included

Daiwa Saltiga

Here's a superior statement in reel design and execution from Daiwa. The  Saltiga reels represent Daiwa's finest effort, the ultimate combination of workmanship, quality parts and construction, and a reel that's every bit as fishable as it is stunningly attractive.  It's a gorgeous blend of royal blue and chrome, machined perfection that fits in your hand.

The reels are over-built, excellent strength, and even better engineering.  They're a natural for spectra backing and a mono top-shot. Diawa recently  shipped the much awaited 30T, 40 and 50 size Saltiga reels.  They are super, like their smaller siblings.

The newest Saltiga  reels feature machined aluminum one piece frame and side plates and rod clamps, six ball bearings, infinite anti-reverse, a spool click selector and a centrifugal anti-backlash control...like the smaller offerings. The larger reels offer a 4.9:1 gear ratio.  The 40 holds 270 yards of 30# mono, the 50 handles 310 yards of 40# mono. The new 30 Tall holds 300 yds of 20# or 200 of 30#.  But, with reels built this strongly, Spectra is encouraged.  That way you've got some serious line capacity to deal with the bigger fish these fishing reels were made to tame. They are every bit as beautiful on the inside as they are on the outside.  They're very capable performers, powerful fishing reels indeed! 

 

Daiwa has also introduced a surf fishing variant based upon the Saltiga 30. The new reel uses a counter balanced handle, has slightly different cosmetics and like all Saltigas, has great casting, excellent machining and effective drags.

Daiwa Big Game

Saltist Lever Drag
- New Models HERE NOW!

As we've previously stated, Daiwa had a great showing at the tackle industry's big trade show held in July. They took the show for saltwater reels, and that was the firm's focus for 2009 and 2010. This is clearly demonstrated in their new Saltist Series of small lever drag, spinning and their newest Big Game reels which grace the #1 spot of this week's specials.

Daiwa's new big game lever drags seriously update their tried and true 20 and 30 series trolling/casting reel line. The new reels feature a push button shifter (for the 2 speeds) and offer bullet-proof reliability while trolling, and they can spin with the best of 'em for casting duty, too! The reels feature stainless steel gears, seven CRBB corrosion resistant ball bearings, with dual carbon fiber discs. The new reels have Daiwa's Infinite Spin feature which provides excellent free spool performance for maximum casting and live bait presentation. They use a main shaft bearing stabilizer which prevents excess side pressure on spool bearings, regardless of drag tension. Their all aluminum frame and left sideplate are one solid piece for added strength. They also have a Zaion corrosion-proof drag lever, and rugged dual point gear shaft support. Their machined aluminum spool is designed for extended line capacity, and come with an aluminum rod clamp.

Daiwa Tournament
Two Speeds!

Diawa doesn't come out with gear, unless they feel they've got it right.  We've all been waiting for them to apply their engineering to two-speed reels.   First to hit our shores is the Sealine Tournament 50 series reels.  They followed up on that success with the introduction of their new 20 and 30 size reels. 

These powerhouses feature a dual disc drag, machined aluminum one-piece frames and side plates, four ball bearings, high tensile strength stainless steel gears, and a built-in spool bearing support. They will get the job done with the big game trophy quality fish they were intended to handle. The two speed mechanism is reminiscent of the classic "old school" Penn Internationals, pull the handle out and push her in to change gears.  No push button business here.  (Gear Ratio:  3.1:1/1.3:1)

To eliminate any risk, and to show Daiwa's belief in their new Tournament Series, you have an honest 90 DAY NO QUESTIONS ASKED FACTORY REFUND policy. That's right, buy the reel, send in the registration card within 30 days of purchase.  Fish the reel.  If it's not all that you wanted, doesn't meet your expectations, send her back to Daiwa within 90 days.  They'll send you back a check within 6-8 weeks.  Guaranteed satisfaction.  To see details of the program, click right here. (Offer only available to USA and Canada residents)

To Sweeten the pot even more, we're including our Rigged Your Way Special to the new Daiwa Tournament reels.

Spinning Reels

Black Gold Series

BG spinning reels are solid performers, amassing a string of saltwater and freshwater records other reels can't match. They feature rugged metal construction, corrosion-proof hard anodized finish, high performance drag combining stainless steel and Teflon washers, rugged precision cut gears and stainless steel mainshaft and folding left/right retrieve with folding wooden handle. (pictured right BG60)
 

I've owned BG's since the early '80's, fished 'em for both fresh and saltwater fish.  I consider these spinning reels to be an excellent value, and a high quality fishing tool.

Coastal Series

Daiwa introduced a Coastal series of inshore spinning reels in 2009. These reels are tough, built to handle the unforgiving saltwater fishing conditions folks face pursuing hard pulling game fish. The materials and components used in the manufacture of these reels incorporate this design concern of toughness and corrosion resistance. From the rugged aluminum body, to the seven corrosion resistant CRBB ball bearings, to the ultra-consistent waterproof drag, these reels are saltwater tough and made to perform day in and day out. All reels in this series also include a spare aluminum spool for added convenience and flexibility.

Daiwa Saltist Spinners
- New Models HERE NOW - In Stock!

Daiwa's new Saltist Saltwater spinning reels were designed for all-out serious saltwater fishing. They're simple, straight forward design can withstand the punishment of heavy saltwater use - and saltwater fish, time after time. They all use a manual bail trip for fewer moving parts and greater strength and reliability. They even have a dual, full-time anti-reverse that you can depend upon, with no lever to accidentally turn off or snag your line. Daiwa focused on reliability and performance with their Saltist Spinners, just like the other conventional Saltist reels. They're made for the salty stuff, and made very, very well.

Note: we don't include second rate "braid" with your order, but do make available higher quality AMERICAN PRODUCED SPECTRA - not a bargain basement no-name "braid." There is a difference, and true Spectra is the superior product, with Jerry Brown and Izorline being regarded as the best in the business.

Daiwa's Dog Fight

Daiwa's Saltiga Dog Fight 6500 is a gifted performer, a piece not likely to be owned by many, but loved by those lucky enough to have one to call their own. The Dog Fight is a statement piece from Daiwa, no hype, no buzz word marketing, it's simply the best reel Daiwa can produce in the spinning arena - and Daiwa has earned a long time reputation for building excellent spinning reels.

The dog Fight pulls up to 66#'s of drag, it's made for use of heavy Spectra or braided lines. This reel is indeed made for fishing tuna, amberjack and marlin, to name a few of the species it will grapple with. Technically the SA-Z6500HFD is in a class by itself. It's free from gimmicks and marketing buzz words (sorry shimano). It's designed to be simple, reliable, and better than the over-hyped gear coming from the bike folks. Sealed inside the waterproof, precision metal body ride stainless steel and bronze alloy gears, digitally designed and cut for maximum strength and efficiency while winding in over 50 inches of line with every turn of the handle. Gearing is 6.2:1.  Fourteen stainless steel ball bearings transmit energy smoothly and efficiently. Even the main shaft of the reel is specially machined and supported to eliminate the friction normally caused by the shaft flexing under heavy loads.

One area of concern in any heavy use reels is the anti-reverse, the system that keeps the handle from back-winding when you're setting the hook or playing a fish. It takes a beating, and is often a source of problems, in both conventional and spinning reels. The Dog Fight uses a dual anti-reverse, for reliability, full time, so there's no on-off lever to accidently trip and snarl line or trap line in the heat of battle. There's much more we could say about this reel, but need not. It's Daiwa's best, and that says it all.

Saltiga Braided Boat Line

It took me a while to warm to this product, multi-colored lines have earned a pretty poor review over the past years. But, it seems to me the folks at Daiwa have a good thing going with their version of a "super braid." Their Saltiga  Braided line is a bit different from the norm. It's a "super line" along the lines of PowerPro, Izor, Jerry Brown... The thing that sets it apart is that it's actually a darn good version of the super braid genre, and it offers bottom fishing anglers a nice advantage. It's a five color line, providing a distinct color break each 10 meters and with five and one meter indicators so you know your depth with accuracy. It's a smooth braid, not the stiff coated stuff you've come to dislike... It really does have more of a feel like Izor or JB. It is an 8 braid line, of thin diameter. (JB, BW and Izor are typically 12 or more). It's not stiff, with an abraisive coating. It will deal with line guides more kindly that at least one popular braided line we know of.  Daiwa introduced this line as part of it's Dendoh style power assist reels which were designed to fish deep. But, this accessory product has a great future ahead on any reel who's owner happens to do some bottom fishing.

We stock the line in reel filling 300 and 500 meter lengths as well as bulk spools of 1800 meters.

Daiwa Accessory Reel Seat Clamp

Here's something that many guys have been waiting for. I know Max here at the shop has been bugging me about this since ICAST. Daiwa showed off a wonderful accessory at the show, a reel clamp that fits most reel on the market. While it was made to fit their Saltiga 15-50, Saltist 20-50, Leverdrag 20-50, Levelwind 20-50 and Line Counter 20-50 (excluding their Big Game Series). As you can see from the images, we put one on a little Luna 300, and she fit! There will be a broad range of application. The piece features a couple spacers to allow a better match for different reels and rods. It's a very nice piece of aluminum, strong, well finished, sleek and smooth. It's very much a precision product, and could be something you've been looking for. They're not cheap, but they're darn good!
