Detailed Description
The 23 SALTIGA marks a groundbreaking moment in Daiwa's reel engineering, with the release of a highly anticipated small-size model that combines the best of innovation, strength, and performance. Representing the pinnacle of Daiwa’s engineering over the last decade, this mid-size saltwater spinning reel is designed to offer unmatched durability and performance for serious anglers.
A key feature of the 23 SALTIGA is the debut of AIRDRIVE DESIGN in a heavy-duty saltwater reel. This technology reduces start-up inertia, making the reel lighter while maintaining the strength and reliability that the SALTIGA series is known for. The rotor assembly has been reworked to enhance weight reduction without compromising durability, perfect for handling the harsh saltwater conditions.
In addition to the AIRDRIVE DESIGN, the bail assembly has been completely re-engineered. The new, thinner, and lighter bail arm maintains its hollow stainless steel structure, ensuring smooth line flow and precision. The bail system is further optimized with the inclusion of TWISTBUSTER III, which minimizes line twist for better casting and retrieval.
Built on Daiwa's renowned Monocoque (MQ) body, the 23 SALTIGA features a solid one-piece aluminum construction, providing the ability to fit a larger drive gear. This results in improved torque and power while making the reel more resistant to the elements, effectively sealing the gearcase from saltwater ingress.
To further protect against the rigors of saltwater fishing, the MAGSEAL technology is incorporated, with a seal above the pinion gear to prevent water ingress and MAGSEAL BEARINGS installed on either side of the drive gear to safeguard the internal components.
Whether you're fishing offshore soft plastics, slow jigging, or casting surface lures over shallow reef flats, the 23 SALTIGA is the ultimate saltwater spin reel in Daiwa’s lineup, designed to withstand the toughest conditions and deliver unrivaled performance.
