Feature:
Machined Aluminium Body
The Saltist SD 15H is constructed from precision machined aluminium for maximum strength, rigidity, and durability. Its solid one-piece design minimises flex under load while the anodised matte black finish provides excellent corrosion resistance against harsh saltwater conditions.
True Freespool System
The true freespool design allows the spool to rotate with minimal resistance, resulting in longer and smoother casts. This feature is especially effective for live bait fishing and stray-lining, where natural bait presentation and controlled line payout are essential.
Digigear Technology
Daiwa’s Digigear system uses oversized precision-cut gears for improved gear meshing, smoother winding performance, and greater cranking power. The advanced gear design delivers increased durability and efficiency when fighting larger fish under heavy loads.
6.4:1 Gear Ratio
With a high-speed 6.4:1 gear ratio, the Saltist SD 15H offers fast line retrieval without sacrificing power. This makes the reel highly versatile for techniques such as jigging, casting, and live bait fishing where quick line pickup is important.
Carbon Fibre Drag System
The large carbon fibre drag system provides smooth and consistent drag pressure up to 8kg. Designed to handle braided and monofilament lines with ease, it delivers reliable stopping power while reducing startup inertia during hard runs.
Centrifugal Braking System
The centrifugal braking system improves casting control by reducing spool overrun and backlash during the cast. This allows anglers to achieve longer, more controlled casts with greater confidence in varying fishing conditions.
CRBB Ball Bearings
The Saltist SD 15H features Corrosion Resistant Ball Bearings (CRBB) designed specifically for saltwater use. These specially treated bearings offer increased resistance to rust and corrosion, helping maintain smooth operation and extending the life of the reel.
Corrosion Resistant Finish
Finished in a sleek anodised matte black coating, the reel is built to withstand the harsh marine environment. The protective finish enhances durability while giving the Saltist SD a clean, premium appearance.
