Daiwa's Saltiga 35 represents the highest level of power and reliability in Daiwa's offshore jigging range, designed to tackle big predators and extreme conditions without compromise. Developed for deep-water fishing and battles with species such as tuna, amberjack and grouper, this reel combines a high-rigidity full metal aluminum construction with the most advanced Daiwa technologies, ensuring consistent performance even under heavy loads. Despite its high line capacity and powerful performance, the Saltiga 35 maintains a compact and ergonomic design, allowing comfortable use even during long fishing sessions without fatigue. At the core of the system is the Hyperdrive Design, developed to deliver smooth rotation, direct power transmission and maximum resistance to deformation, even in the most demanding situations. The UTD (Ultimate Tournament Drag) system provides up to 13 kg of real drag power, offering smooth and progressive performance, essential when fighting large fish. The large-diameter spool, combined with the reinforced structure and protective technologies such as Magsealed ball bearings and anodic protection, allows the Saltiga 35 to perform reliably in harsh marine environments over time. Designed for the most technical and heavy jigging applications, it incorporates advanced ergonomic solutions such as the Thumb Holding Frame and oversized power knob, improving control and power transmission during every phase of fishing. The result is a reel built for anglers seeking maximum power, total control and absolute reliability, even in the most extreme conditions.
HYPERDRIVE DESIGN
A next-generation design philosophy for baitcasting reels, developed to maintain high performance over time. It consists of four key technologies: Hyperdrive Digigear for smooth and long-lasting rotation, Hyper Double Support for increased power and lighter retrieve, Hyper Armed Housing for a rigid and durable structure, and Hyper Tough Clutch for reliable operation even in extreme environments. Together, these technologies ensure consistent performance in any situation.
HYPERDRIVE DIGIGEAR
A new-generation gear system designed to deliver smooth and long-lasting rotation. It improves gear meshing without reducing tooth size, ensuring longer-lasting smoothness over time.
HYPER DOUBLE SUPPORT
A support system that enhances both smoothness and power during retrieve. The pinion gear is supported by two ball bearings, allowing direct and efficient power transmission even under load.
HYPER ARMED HOUSING (FULL AL)
A high-rigidity structure that precisely supports internal components. The frame, side plates, and structure are made from machined aluminum alloy, ensuring maximum strength and durability.
HYPER TOUGH CLUTCH
A highly durable clutch system designed to operate reliably even in saltwater environments. It significantly reduces issues caused by salt intrusion, improving long-term reliability.
MAGSEALED BALL BEARING
Daiwa’s exclusive technology that protects ball bearings with magnetic oil, preventing water and impurities from entering. It reduces corrosion, noise, and wear, maintaining high performance over time.
UTD (Ultimate Tournament Drag)
A high-performance drag system designed to deliver maximum power and smooth progression. It eliminates initial friction and ensures consistent, reliable drag performance, allowing safe control even when fighting large fish.
OTHER FEATURES
