Daiwa 20 Saltiga LD55 2-Speed Lever Drag Game Reel

Break your record

Addressing areas of concern that top anglers identified with lever drag reels of the past, the new Daiwa 20 Saltiga LD55 2-Speed Lever Drag Game Reel is crafted from the ground up and improved in all areas. 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 is designed to be beautifully simple, and incredibly strong.

The precisely machined one-piece aluminium body holds what sets Saltiga LD apart from the competition – a meticulously crafted drive gear and 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 and durable than anything else on the market.

Over half a decade in the making, Saltiga LD combines everything learned from across the globe. 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.

ATD Drag
Daiwa's Automatic Tournament Drag uses an improved drag grease that exhibits a low viscosity at rest, yet becomes more viscous immediately after drag start up. This reduces initial drag start-up inertia and combined with the structural changes of the ATD Drag System results in a smoother drag from the initial hook up.

Lever Drag
A lever control system that allows drag pressure to be easily applied by pushing the lever forward. Allows for increased pressure to applied, and is ideal for jigging and deep water angling.
