About this item

What the maker's numbers say about this model:

  • The Saltiga 4000/5000/6000 6000-XH: weighs 400 g (14.1 oz), gear ratio 6.2, 110 cm (43.3 in) of line per handle turn, max drag 15 kg (33.1 lb), line capacity PE #3 – 300 m (328 yd) (maker's figures).
  • 8 sizes. The lightest is 4000-H at 345 g (12.2 oz); the heaviest is 6000-XH at 400 g (14.1 oz).
  • Gear ratios run from 4.9:1 to 6.2:1; the fastest, 4000-XH, takes in 98 cm (39 in) of line per handle turn.
  • Max drag ranges from 12 kg to 15 kg (26.5 lb to 33.1 lb).
  • Every size holds 300 m of PE 2.
  • 12 ball bearings and 1 roller bearing in every size.
  • Japan list price ¥105,000–¥115,000, which is in the top quarter (by Japan list price) of the 93 spinning reel series we list.
  • Daiwa lists these technologies for this generation: AIRDRIVE rotor and bail; AIRDRIVE DESIGN; AIRDRIVE shaft; MONOCOQUE BODY; MAGSEALED; MAGSEALED ball bearing; ATD TOUGH drag; LC-ABS spool.
  • In plain words: AIRDRIVE DESIGN — Daiwa's design concept for a lighter, more responsive spinning reel; made up of the AIRDRIVE rotor, bail, spool and shaft. MONOCOQUE BODY — one-piece body with a plate screwed directly into it instead of a screwed-on body cover, for stiffer gear support and better sealing.
  • Specs are Daiwa's published figures; conversions to imperial are ours.
