In short

Daiwa Saltiga (ソルティガ) is a Japan-market spinning reel; ¥155,000–¥200,000 in Japan before tax. 12 sizes. The lightest is 8000-P at 670 g (23.6 oz); the heaviest is 30000-P at 1.06 kg (2.3 lb). Japan list price ¥155,000–¥200,000 before tax (maker's figure); bought outside Japan from sellers who ship from Japan.

About this item

What the maker's numbers say about this model:

  • At 1060 g, the 30000-P is the second-lightest of the 3 30000-size spinning reel models we list.
  • Gear ratios run from 4.4:1 to 6.2:1; the fastest, 14000-XH, takes in 133 cm (52 in) of line per handle turn.
  • Max drag ranges from 25 kg to 30 kg (55.1 lb to 66.1 lb).
  • Line capacity runs from 340 m of PE 5 on the 14000-P to 460 m of PE 3 on the 8000-P.
  • 14 ball bearings and 1 roller bearing in every size.
  • Japan list price ¥155,000–¥200,000, 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: MAGSEALED body and line roller; MONOCOQUE BODY; POWERDRIVE DESIGN; POWERDRIVE engine; oversized POWER DIGIGEAR; roller power oscillation; POWERDRIVE rotor; CRANK POWER BAIL; tough line roller system; DRD; ATD TOUGH drag; LC-ABS SW spool.
  • In plain words: 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.

How the sizes differ

  • The 12 sizes weigh 670–1060 g, have gear ratios of 4.4:1 to 6.2:1, have 25–30 kg max drag and list at ¥155,000–¥200,000 in Japan.
