The 2025 Saltist Star Drag reels are designed to deliver smooth and reliable performance while taming your saltwater trophy gamefish. Daiwa's ATD carbon fiber drag system provides smooth drag payout while maintaining durability, giving you the confidence to take on even the largest species. And with Daiwa's CRBB (Corrosion Resistant Ball Bearings) increasing the longevity of its smooth performance, you can trust that your Saltist will keep performing reliably, even in the most corrosive saltwater environments. Whether you're targeting trophy fish or just looking for a reliable reel to get put fish in the cooler year after year, the 25Saltist Star Drag reels are the perfect choice.

ATD: Daiwa’s Automatic Tournament Drag uses an improved drag grease that exhibits a low viscosity at rest, yet becomes more viscous immediately after drag start up. This reduces initial drag start-up inertia and combined with the structural changes of the ATD Drag System results in a smoother drag from the initial hook up.

Aluminium Body:Lightweight and incredibly strong, aluminium allows strength and weightlessness to be achieved without the cost and corrosion issues of other metals.

Centrifugal Brake:A system that utilizes the friction of brake blocks pressed inside in a brake ring. The brake force is proportional to the rotational speed of the spool. This means when spool speed is fast, brake force is much larger.
