SALTIGA 2020

The essential Saltiga evolves and brings together the latest Daiwa technologies for strong fishing. In order to meet the needs of all anglers, a new size system is applied to the Saltiga 2020 as well as two types of cranks offered.

Improved lifespan

The frame of the Saltiga 2020 benefits from the latest Daiwa innovations: its Monocoque Body structure in a single symmetrical machined piece gives the reel greater robustness. Entirely constructed of aluminum, the solidity of the frame is increased. The control wheel encapsulated in the frame is wider (46 mm) and thicker (8.7 mm) than the previous version of the Saltiga (2015) while being lighter thanks to its G1 dura-aluminum composition. In order to limit erosion, the reel is painted with 5 superimposed layers: anodizing, anti-static paint, primer, paint and varnish. The aluminum Air Rotor is stiffer than the ZAION carbon and more powerful so the pickup arm is more durable. On either side of the control wheel, two MagSealed bearings ensure fluidity and watertightness to the Saltiga. Mag Oil is found on the pinion and roller of the pick-up.

For strong fishing with complete peace of mind

The ATD (Automatic Tournament Drag) brake system is now made up of 14 elements compared to 6 for the Saltiga 2015, which makes the Saltiga 2020 ten times more powerful and durable than its predecessor. The brake button has also been redesigned: it is more ergonomic thanks to its 42% enlargement. Just like the button cover and brake collar (two internal components), the brake button is made of aluminum. This allows heat transfer and evacuation which guarantees the fluidity and efficiency of the Saltiga. In order to adjust the brake precisely, the sound of the ratchet has been intensified. Ideal for competing against sport fish, the round or oval shaped aluminum handle offers a powerful and comfortable grip. Always with the aim of maximizing fishing pleasure, the Saltiga 2020 is equipped with an LC-ABS (Long Cast) spool which ensures smooth line output as well as a reduction in the risk of wigs. Another practical detail of the Saltiga 2020 is housed in the pick-up, the opening and closing of which is controlled by a pawl which prevents the rotor from rotating in full throw.

A new size chart

For consistency with small spinning reels, the Saltiga 2020 range adopts a new size scale: from 8000 (corresponding to the 4500 size of the Saltiga 2015) to 20,000 (formerly size 8000).

With this new range, the Saltiga pushes the limits of performance further thanks to the high technologies that equip it. All that remains is for the fishermen to take it into their own hands and beat their record.
