About this piece
The Daiwa 25 Saltiga 35L is a high-performance baitcasting reel engineered for heavy saltwater jigging and deep-sea fishing. Built on the HYPERDRIVE DESIGN platform, it delivers exceptional cranking power and durability to handle the toughest battles with large pelagic species. Its 5.1:1 gear ratio and 104cm retrieve per turn provide the torque needed for deep jigging and high-load fights, while the 13kg max drag ensures reliable stopping power.
