The 25 SALTIGA is all muscle, designed to help you "BREAK YOUR RECORD" and capture trophy fish, cast after cast. With a gear over 10% larger than its predecessor, the 25 SALTIGA delivers unmatched strength and precision you can feel with every turn.When the pressure is on, 25 SALTIGA delivers. The one-piece MONOCOQUE BODY and MAGSEALED technology ensure superior water resistance, keeping out salt and impurities for consistent, reliable performance in all conditionsSmooth and controlled, even against the hardest runs. The 25 SALTIGA's POWERDRIVE DESIGN and POWERDRIVE ROTOR minimise start-up inertia, while the new DRD/ATD TOUGH DRAG system deliver constant pressure for unmatched control during the fight.Engineered for balance and comfort, POWERDRIVE DESIGN lets you fish harder, longer, and stronger. Meticulously balanced for a better feel in hand, engineered for stamina, to keep you on the water from dawn to dusk chasing giants. The next generation of large spinning reels have been designed in pursuit of powerful reliability, enabling anglers to target the largest fish around the world. POWERDRIVE DESIGN consists of two technology units: the body unit “POWERDRIVE ENGINE” and the rotor unit “POWERDRIVE ROTOR”. Experience raw strength redefined with the POWERDRIVE ENGINE body unit. Featuring an OVERSIZED POWER DIGIGEAR and POWER ROLLER OSCILLATION system, it delivers unmatched winding power, smoothness and durability.Built with G1 duralumin for exceptional durability, the MONOCOQUE BODY design accommodates a larger, thicker gear—10% larger and 6% thicker than the previous model. Precisely engineered gear teeth enhance drive efficiency, while minimal deflection ensures stable, consistent meshing. This reduces power loss, providing smooth and effortless winding performance.The redesigned two-ball bearing pillar support system enhances oscillation efficiency by 20%, ensuring smooth, responsive, and powerful winding, even under heavy loads. Frictional resistance is significantly reduced, providing reliable performance and ultimate control when tackling the strain of the largest fish in the ocean.The new POWERDRIVE ROTOR is engineered for strength and efficiency. Crafted to handle the heaviest loads, this rotor delivers superior stability, allowing anglers to pull in the largest of fish with ease. The unique shape, which appears as though it was cut from a sphere, maintains low inertia and has an increased rigidity of 7%. The POWERDRIVE ROTOR ensures that each turn of the handle translates into a smoother, more powerful retrieve, even under extreme pressure. The redesigned TOUGH LINE ROLLER SYSTEM is enlarged to endure repeated heavy loads, and the updated design better integrates the screw with the bail arm. Removing joints at high-stress points enhances rigidity and durability around the line roller. The new line roller, optimised for PE braided lines, reduces sliding resistance by approximately 3%.The new crank-shaped design directs line smoothly to the line roller without fail. The redesigned shape and spring mechanism enhances opening and closing angles, preventing unintentional bail movement. This improvement significantly enhances line feeding to the roller, especially during jigging and while the line is tensioned. With support from a new full metal MONOCOQUE (MQ) body concept, 25 SALTIGA has gained extra strength and retrieve power compared to previous models. A new MONOCOQUE (MQ) body design further enlarges internal body space to allow larger drive gear to be installed. MQ construction also allows the engine plate to replace the need for screws to stabilise the drive gear. MQ concept improves support of the internal parts and adds durability and resistance to intrusion. DAIWA’s “LC-ABS SW” technology enhances power and rigidity. The spool’s upper section is optimised with a two-step taper toward the spool ring, minimising friction for smoother line release. Its narrow width prevents tangling, even during the final stages of casting with less line remaining. This design ensures smooth casting with thick lines and improves casting distance by approximately 2% providing anglers with an improved casting experience. MAGSEALED is a technology that implements a special liquid material developed originally for aerospace engineering called MAGOIL. MAGOIL is used to create a water and dust-resistant barrier in lieu of traditional rubber seals. This is an innovative water resistance method that maintains rotational performance. The ultimate focus of MAGSEAL was to protect the gearing inside the reel body and the bearings. Two of the key components to protect if overall performance is to be preserved. MAGSEALED bearings have been designed to last longer than traditionally sealed ball bearings. The balls are encapsulated in a completely waterproof housing. The inner and outer rings are magnetised and joined by waterproof and stable MAGSEALED oil. This means the initial performance of the reel will be indefinitely preserved. The longevity is beyond comparison to a waterproof industrial bearing. 25 SALTIGA is equipped with MAGSEALED bearings on both sides of the drive gear. First introduced to the market in 2002 the SALTIGA quickly found its way to the pinnacle of saltwater spinning reel performance. 23 years later and SALTIGA continues to raise the benchmark for innovation, strength and durability. With the birth of SALTIGA, DAIWA went out to refine a new standard for saltwater performance, and anglers are now able to target fish like never before to surpass all expectations and “BREAK YOUR RECORD”.
