Over half a decade in the making, Saltiga LD combines everything learnt from across the globe. From the USA, South Africa, New Zealand & Australia, every bit of feedback and learning has been absorbed and rolled into what can only be described as Daiwa’s best lever drag reel ever made. It all starts with the precisely machined one-piece aluminium body and side plates. This rigid housing holds what sets Saltiga LD apart from the competition – a meticulously crafted drive gear & pinion gear made from insanely durable Stainless Steel. Stainless Steel gears are harder than brass and much more resistant to the harsh saltwater fields in which this reel will be used. Stainless Steel gearing is often criticised for lacking smoothness, but Daiwa engineers have overcome this, producing a gear set that is refined and smooth, yet more powerful & durable than anything else on the market. Saltiga LD has had improvements in all areas of the reel, addressing areas of concern that top anglers identified with lever drag reels of the past. A drag cam design that is smooth and capable of handling both braid and monofilament lines is one of the obvious improvements. The lever itself has been totally redesigned to allow finite and precise drag control even at very low settings, a feature loved by livebait anglers especially. 20 Saltiga LD was designed to be beautifully simple, and incredibly strong. Available in single- and two-speed designs from size 10-60.

Solid in the hand and feels like true quality craftsmanship. My yellowfin trip isn’t until October 2021 and I’ll provide a performance update then.

Compact, powerful and catches fish. Excellent.
Great customer service AAAFantastic reel
Smooth and powerful. Anyone who uses my reel wants to buy one.
Nice smooth action with quick retrievalFished at 80 meters
Great reelPerformed flawlessly at Montebello islands WAHandled some very large fish easilyWish I could say my back operated that well
Improved from the old model!I thought Accurate BV300SPJ, Shimano Ocea JIgger 1000HG/1500HG/1500PG, and Saltiga 10/10H/15/15H were the one to buy for jigging/Slow Jiggng,but I believe size 10H/35JH is the one to get for this Saltiga LD.Big improvement for spool edge, drag lever and handle arm.The only one thing I don't like about is the handle knob.I will change it soon.
Good service from the fishing tackle shop.The ld35 i purchased is beautifully smooth and balanced for its jigging aplicationCheers
