Daiwa Saltiga HL SJ Jigging Reel

Featuring a waterproof Mag Sealed bearing and an ATD drag system this Saltiga model is the most sophisticated in its class. Cranking back an impressive 1m of line per turn, this reel is perfect for slow jigging in deep water. The low leg on the reel allows you to enclose it in your palm for a very secure hold. Large capacity spool coupled with a powerful, smooth drag keeps you in control of hard fighting fish. The Saltiga 15 HL comes with a quick spool change system and a clicking drag. Every time a fish runs off you can hear the reel clicking and pick up the vibrations in your hand. The SJ model features an off-centre handle for a better grip and to help with long fall jerks where the bait is lifted up vertically then slowly lowered back down again. Whats more, the handle can be adjusted from 85 to 95mm to fit your hand size perfectly.

Features:

– ATD (Automatic Tournament Drive) drag technology with audible clicker
– Bearings : 8 + 1 including 7 CRBB and 1 Mag Sealed
– Body and side plates in single piece aluminium
– Aluminium spool in silver
– Aluminium handle with 1 round EVA Power knob, except the SJ model which has a long, ergonomic aluminium handle
– Handle on left for right-handed cast

Specifications:

– MAGSEALED oil is a magnetic oil that uses aerospace technology to protect reel components and guarantee smooth rotation.
The new MAGSEALED bearings have been designed to last longer than ever. The balls are encapsulated in a completely waterproof bearing. The inner and outer rings are magnetised and joined by waterproof and stable MAGSEALED oil. The cage runs smoother and is protected from impurities. This means that the reel’s initial performance will be indefinitely preserved. The smoothness is beyond comparison to a waterproof industrial bearing: MAGSEALED oil removes the need for a joint, meaning you won’t detect any friction on the wind.These MAGSEALED bearings are placed either side of the drive gear in our flagship reels, so you can activate them with the slightest turn of the handle for optimum winding smoothness. The concept has been miniaturised to apply to the roller on some of our reels.

– MAGSEALED oil is a magnetic oil that uses aerospace technology to protect internal reel components and guarantee smooth rotation.
MAGSEALED technology is based on a magnetic oil developed by NASA. This liquid joint was originally used for the internal workings of hard drives – providing dustproofing but not waterproofing. Daiwa engineers took on the challenge of creating a waterproof oil, working to control the intensity of the magnetic force. This took hundreds of trials with adjustments down to micron level! The technology has been tried and tested on the water with the world’s top specialists in each discipline, and it has produced a demonstrable gain in the smoothness of rotation.

– The highly technical Mag Sealed oil is stabilised in a magnetic field and as such must not be mixed with any other component, be it an oil, grease or solvent. Do not spray a releasing agent or lubricating oil on a reel with this technology.
Magsealed oil is held in place by magnetic force and does not degrade over time, thereby improving the smoothness and lifespan of the reel. After each session, you ideally want to rinse the reel with a gentle hose (without a booster) then dry it with a clean rag having spun the handle to shake off any excess water. There is no need for an annual deep clean. If you’re giving the reel heavy use, especially in saline environments, you can send it to your Daiwa distributor to have the Mag Sealed technology checked by a member of Daiwa’s After Sales Service team

– The ATD boasts discs which have been impregnated with a specialist grease to optimise energy yield. This exceptionally high-quality product gives more grinding power at the start and offers a more stable and progressive drag. The risk of breaking off on the fight is kept to a minimum as the ATD adjusts to every phase of the fight: working faster and more progressively on the first run but offering a firmer hold for cranking power in the middle phase. It’s this adaptive feature that gives it its Automatic name.
Smoother, more controlled fights are guaranteed with the Daiwa ATD.

– Aluminium is the most rigid reel component material. Daiwa’s engineers have specially treated the metal to form an optimal micro-layer of stainless aluminium.

– This is an evolution of the Digigear made with precision tooling of C6191 marine bronze for a gear that’s both light and 1.6x tougher than Dura-aluminium.

– The new Infinite Anti Reverse system is activated with 4 times less force than a classic system.
Less than 2g is needed to engage the Real Stopper system which eliminates any handle movement, bringing sensitivity to the next level.

– High quality anticorrosion ball bearings with a lifespan 10 times greater than a standard bearing.
– 2007: The second generation of Daiwa’s magnetic drag. The Magforce-Z intelligently controls the intensity of the magnetic fields throughout the cast to maximise casting distance.
– A drag system which produces a sound when a fish runs. Rediscover the clicker on your spinning and baitcasting reels for unrivalled fishing pleasure!
– Pour une vitesse de rotation optimale, le pignon ne supporte la bobine que par 2 roulements à billes de haute précision.
– A mechanical anti reverse reinforces the standard infinite reverse for heavy fishing.
– The spool finish has been retouched down to the micron for sensitivity and rotation 10 times smoother than the standard.
– Optimal reel grip on the fight thanks to this intelligent, ergonomic design which positions the reel closer to the rod.
– Clutch system protected from all contact with salt.
