Daiwa Saltist Star Drag Jigging Reel SLTSD35J - Saltwater Trolling and Jigging Reel with Carbon Fiber Drag System

Saltist Star Drag Jigging Reel - SLTSD35J

The 2025 Saltist Star Drag Jigging reels are designed to deliver smooth and reliable performance while taming your saltwater trophy gamefish. Daiwas ATD carbon fiber drag system provides smooth drag payout while maintaining durability, giving you the confidence to take on even the largest species. And with Daiwas CRBB (Corrosion Resistant Ball Bearings) increasing the longevity of its smooth performance, you can trust that your Saltist will keep performing reliably, even in the most corrosive saltwater environments. Whether youre targeting trophy fish or just looking for a reliable reel to get put fish in the cooler year after year, the 25Saltist Star Drag reels are the perfect choice.

Features:

• ALUMINIUM BODY - Lightweight and incredibly strong, aluminum allows strength and weightlessness to be achieved without the cost and corrosion issues of other metals.


• ATD-DRAG - Daiwas 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.


• CENTRIFUGAL BRAKE - A system that utilizes the friction of the brake pressed inside a brake ring. The brake force is proportional to the rotational speed of the spool. This means that when the spool speed is fast, the brake force is much larger.

Specifications:

• Gear Ratio: 6.4


• Line Per Crank (in): 47.4


• Weight (oz): 21


• J-Braid Capacity:30/660, 65/330
