Specifically designed for Great Lakes, big-water, and marine applications, Daiwa Saltist Levelwind Line Counter reels offer the perfect combination of line capacity, durability and performance for fishing braid or mono. Precision line measurement provides the accuracy required by today’s controlled-depth trolling and jigging techniques while a rigid aluminum frame and side plate keeps everything in precise alignment, so the gears feel smoother, have a much quieter rotation, and last longer. Built to break the will of trophy fish yet lightweight for their size, these reels provide the solid base required to crank down on serious lunkers. They also feature Daiwa’s silky smooth and powerful Ultimate Tournament Carbon Drag system (U.T.D.) for fade-resistant reliability, a machined aluminum spool with a loud clicker to signal strikes while trolling, a sturdy handle with a soft-touch rubber knob for extra power, grip, and comfort, plus a redesigned star adjustment that easily increases or decreases drag pressure.
“Simply put, these reels are the class of the field when it comes to trolling,” says Daiwa Field Marketing Manager, Marc Mills. “They leave nothing to chance. With proven Saltist reel performance, plenty of cranking power and a super-smooth Ultimate Tournament multi-disc carbon drag that delivers 15.4 pounds of maximum pressure, they are more than up to the challenge of any fish that dares to strike. Further, a shielded, corrosion-resistant five-bearing system (4CRBB + 1RB) that lasts up to 12 times longer than standard stainless-steel bearings, plus a Dual-System Infinite Anti-Reverse, machined-aluminum spool and loud clicker, allow them to tackle a wide variety of freshwater and saltwater applications. There’s even a cast-control spool-friction adjustment to help prevent overruns. Ultra-high-speed 6.1:1 and 6.4:1 gear ratios further sweeten the pot.”
