Daiwa Saltiga LD 55 JP Lever Drag Jigging Reel - SAGLD55JP

Offshore and nearshore jigging is an athletic endeavor. In fact, if skateboarding and fencing are Olympic sports, why not deep jigging? Takes strength, strategy, and certainly endurance. Ever try ripping a jig in the 100's - even thousands - of feet for hours? Not to mention a tuna or amberjack interrupting sequences by peeling off hundreds more feet that must be spun back up under great resistance. Fortunately, DAIWA's new SALTIGA Lever Drag (LD) 55JP is exquisitely engineered to better your performance and while reducing angler fatigue.

Intelligent design is at the core, starting with the Saltiga LD 55 JP's distinctive profile. It's noticeably taller and narrower than other conventional saltwater reels. Tallness means having an upsized spool with massive line capacity for extremely jigging. The narrowness vastly reduces line piling on the spool to one side or the other." Moreover, it contributes to the inches-per-crank and the power to speed ratio.

The Saltiga LD 55 JP's torque and gear stability is remarkable with the reel's massive stainless steel gears. Its gearing yields a 5.2:1 ratio and impressive 46.3" line take-up on every crank.

Features:

• Aluminum Body: Lightweight and incredibly strong, aluminum allows strength and weightlessness to be achieved without the cost and corrosion issues of other metals
• ATD Drag: Daiwa's Automatic Tournament Drag uses an improved drag grease that exhibits a low viscosity at rest, yet becomes more viscous immediately after drag start up. This reduces initial drag start-up inertia and combined with the structural changes of the ATD Drag System results in a smoother drag from the initial hook up
• DIGIGEAR: Daiwa's first generation of digitally engineered gear design ensures a perfect mesh between ultra-tough drive gear and pinion gears for optimized speed, power, durability and smoothness
• Free-Floating Spool: Daiwa's unique system floats the spool independently on precision, stainless steel ball bearings. The pinion rides it's own separate shaft, allowing the spool to spin freely, unhampered by gear train friction when casting
