A NEW reel from Daiwa

              


Daiwa proudly introduces the new Saltist Levelwind A series of reels.  Now you can have proven Saltist reel performance with the added convenience and efficiency of a levelwind. Plenty of cranking power, a super-smooth multi-disc drag, four corrosion-resistant CRBB bearings and choice of standard or high speed gear ratios, make these reels ideal for a wide variety of applications such as leadcore or downrigger fishing.  You gotta check out the gear ratios on these new reels.  The standard levelwind is fast at 4.9:1, and the new Ultra High Speed's 6.4:1 gear ratio will make quick work of that 10 color leadcore.   The new reels feature:
  • Rugged, all metal construction with rigid, one-piece aluminum frame
  • Four CRBB shielded, corrosion-resistant ball bearings and a roller bearing
  • Powerful, high-strength alloy gears
  • Up to 30% greater winding power
  • Super Drag with up to 22 pounds of drag max
  • Dual Anti-Reverse systems
  • Dual-position power handle
  • Aluminum rod clamp

It really is a great time to be a Great Lakes angler.  There are so many fantastic products out there for us to choose from.  Now if we can just get Daiwa to add a linecounter to this reel and make it big enough to hold 600' of copper, then we'll really be in Heaven.  And yes, I've already mentioned that to them several times!  Be sure to check out the Daiwa Saltist at your local tackle shop.

Until Next Time,
Fish On!!
