At this stage I have been unable to test the new Daiwa yet. I certainly like the look & feel though. So much so, I couldn’t resist loading it up straight away with the Schneider I purchased at the same time. Once circumstances change, I know where there are some sizeable Reds with my name on them.

My favorite reel when salt water fishing for Sea Bass, Flounder, Tog and any other fish under 20 pounds. I know a reel repairman/servicer personally and he was highly impressed by how durable andsmooth this reel is. The level wind feature is another plus. No more concern about the hills and valleys in your spool. You can't go wrong with this reel.

Was looking for a reel with a higher gear ratio for fishing deeper water. My target species are mostly sea bass and cod which are commonly fished up to 250ft. of water. Used this reel three times this season on offshore trips where it performed flawlessly! The high gear ratio and large comfortable cranking handle made cranking fish up from the deep a breeze. A high quality reel, could'nt ask for any improvements.

This reel is smooth rugged and moderately priced. I use it for flounder, stripers, drum, tog and sea bass. I own six of them, ha 20s, 30s and a 40. Have a friend who services and repairs reels and rods. He knows the "guts" of this reel and he cannot find a flaw!
Fastest delivery I've had in years on reels, also the product can take 500yds. of Power Pro Maxcuatro braided line #50 instead of the regular #50 @ only 280 yds, & it feels great. can't wait to hanapa'a. thanks alpha2omega= 5-star.
You get a lot of features at this price point. I was hesitant with the level wind chafing my main line as seen in some product review videos. This reel lw eyelet has a smooth coating that has no signs of damaging my line. Like most Daiwa reels, the gears on this are amazing and I would expect to have this guy a long time.
The Daiwa Saltist is an excellent fishing reel. It is durable and with stands frequent saltwater usage with very little maintenance. The drag is very smooth as is the retrieval mechanism. The high speed and large handle makes an excellent combination for even bigger fish than you would normally want to handle on a high speed reel.
Smooth casting and retrieve. Braided line is great on this reel. Drag pulls consistently with easy adjustment. Brakes a little sensitive with lighter lures (under 1/2oz) but live bait and heavy lead works well.
I can only say great things about these reels. Landed a 36 pound blue cat with no problem. Well built reels and will definitely recommend the saltist 30 level wind to anyone.
Classic, time proven round reel. Durable round reel with a great drag. Daiwa Saltist round reels are one of the best reels for extreme cold weather fishing. This reel is being discontinued and replaced with a 'new and improved version" Get some of these while you still can.
