Daiwa Saltiga Offshore Spinning Reel
The new Daiwa Saltiga is the best in class spinning reel. Double the Strength and 12% larger drive gears than the '15 Saltiga.
The Saltiga series of reels has made many anglers dreams come true. Being able to trust your reel while in use becomes a major advantage for an angler. The larger diameter and the added thickness will reduce the amount of wear including twist and deformation to the drive and also to the pinion gears.
MONOCOQUE BODY:
In 2020 Saltiga returns to the market with the introduction of a MQ body and brand-new cosmetics. Up until 2020 Saltiga, reel bodies consisted of two key elements known as a body and body cover. The new MQ System does not require a body cover that allows an Engine plate to screw onto the body. This development allows a larger diameter drive gear to be fitted providing the reel with substantially more strength and power.
MAGSEAL:
The aim is to create perfect water resistance. From the first Saltiga, a water resistance system has been a must have technology. Starting off with rubber sealing, evolving to the way of Magseal system then the addition of Magseal bearings. Now with the MQ Body system, 2020 Saltiga has finally obtained perfect a water resistance system.
Magsealed Ball Bearing: After a great success of Magseal, Daiwa has decided to install the Magseal system into a ball bearing. By adding the fluid, it creates a magnetic seal within the bearings to support and reduce the amount of saltwater intrusion. Instead of the use of rubber seals, its far more effective and creates smoother spin of the reel. In 20 Saltiga, Daiwa has installed the Magseal bearings on each side of drive gear just like 15 Saltiga. This structure will protect the internals of the reels and eliminate intrusion of saltwater.
Magsealed Line Roller: Out of all the components within the reel, the Line Roller takes the most damage from the salt, sand and other elements your line picks up whilst fishing. By adding the Magseal bearing into the line roller assembly, it makes the roller remain smooth and extends its life. The long life of the Magseal line roller bearing system will decrease the amount of line troubles whilst fishing.
ALUMINUM AIR ROTOR:
The aluminum air rotor is more than double the strength compared to the 15 Saltiga. It is also 1.5 times more durable compared to the original Saltiga (2002 Model).
The test results of the rotor strength. This test put the same amount of force through both rotors. Shown in the above images, '15 Saltiga has taken an impact around the bail arm/wire section.(Highly impacted part of the rotor is shown in Red). In comparison, AL Air Rotor on '15 Saltiga is more red compared to the '20 Saltiga.
The aluminum air rotor is more than double the strength compared to the '15 Saltiga. It is also 1.5 times more durable compared AL Air Rotor on original Saltiga (2002 Model). The larger diameter radiation drag knob with heat sink system coupled with a newly designed drive gear brings strength, rigidity and smoothness to the reel whilst the latest technology spool creates troubles free casts.
NEW GENERATION DRAG SYSTEM:
In comparison to '15 Saltiga Drag washer, it is more than 10 times stronger and less likely to burn out quick. DAIWA has added more drag washers, which means workload gets spread evenly across the drag stack. By designing the washers with a slightly smaller diameter, it runs a lot smoother. Smaller means the per drag washer Max Drag Kg will decrease but we have solved that issues by adding 14 more washers.
Aluminum Radiation Drag Knob with large diameter improves heat dissipation and operability.
Spool's temprature after releasing drag. Improved heat dissipation reduces washer burn-in and reduces line degradation due to heat.
In comparison to '15 SALTIGA which has 6 washers, '20 SALTIGA has 14 washers.
LC-ABS 
Longer smoother casts made possible by adoption of the Daiwa LC-ABS system.
The '20 SALTIGA adopted LC(Long casting)-ABS which has a double tapered spool edge that can release line smoothly and reduces fluttering of the line during casts. The resuilt is confidence inspiring, smooth and super long casts.
By adding all these upgrades of these newly developed Daiwa technologies, we are certain that the '20 Saltiga IS the toughest reel produced throughout the long history of Saltiga line.

OVERVIEW
Since the first Saltiga was released in 2002, the demand for heavy-duty saltwater spinning reels has constantly increased. The original Saltiga set a new standard for this category and has continually evolved throughout its eighteen-year history. Now, in 2020 Saltiga is re-imagined delivering anglers the most technologically advanced Saltiga ever produced. Extensively redesigned and engineered from drag knob to handle the 20 Saltiga features the most advanced list of features ever, to once again affirm itself as the ultimate saltwater spinning reel. At the heart of the re-design is the brand new Monocoque body. A single piece body capable of holding much larger internal gearing components is machined from high-strength aluminum to provide unheralded strength and improved sealing. Housed within the MQ body, is a brand-new drive gear, providing gear strength more than double that of its predecessor.
The new MQ body also boasts a new rear cover design, eliminating screws from the underside of the reel to improve against intrusion, the cover is also produced from reinforced ABS to eliminate potential electrolysis with the aluminum body. Improved paint & finishing processes also extend the durability to the cosmetic side, delivering much improved corrosion protection. Our engineers created a new drag stack, increasing the number of washers to deliver ten times the drag durability compared to the previous model Saltiga. A newly designed aluminum heat dissipating Drag Knob delivers improved cooling & heat dissipation. A newly designed ABS Longcast spool design offers improved casting performance and enhanced line management.
Magsealed reels utilize Daiwa’s patented technology to apply magnetic oil that can change density and shape when a magnetic field is added. When Magseal technology is applied to the main shaft and/or line roller of a spinning reel, it produces a low-friction seal that keeps water, dust and grit from encountering the internal components of the reel. The result is a watertight seal with much lower resistance than rubber type seals.
