23 SALTIGA represents the pinnacle of DAIWA engineering progress over the past decade, and features every bit of technology to make the new SALTIGA the best mid-size saltwater spin reel DAIWA has ever produced.For the first time in a true heavy-duty saltwater reel AIRDRIVE DESIGN is debuted. As was the case with the introduction of AIRDRIVE DESIGN with 22 EXIST, lower start-up inertia was the goal. By redeveloping the shape of the rotor assembly, DAIWA engineers were able to both reduce the weight & maintain the strength, a key consideration for a reel with a pedigree of strength & reliability like SALTIGA.AIRDRIVE DESIGN doesn't stop there, DAIWA also totally re-engineered the bail assembly of 23 SALTIGA, with a distinct new shape, the bail arm maintains it's hollow tubular stainless steel structure, but is now thinner and lighter than before. The new shape guides the line perfectly into the roller, which has also been redesigned with the implementation of TWISTBUSTER III to reduce
