Daiwa 25 Saltiga 18000 H (G)

The Daiwa 25 Saltiga 18000 H is built for the very heaviest fishing. This is the model for those targeting truly large GTs, tuna, and other powerful species where both drag strength and torque must be absolutely top-notch.

With Power Drive Design at its core, the 25 Saltiga combines extreme strength with precision and long lifespan. In the 18000 size, you get maximum capacity and raw power for situations where compromise is not an option.

The rigid Monocoque Body construction provides a single-piece body that minimizes flex and makes room for an enlarged Oversized Power Digigear. The gear is larger and more powerful than previous generations, delivering high torque and stable retrieve even under heavy load.

The aluminum rotor gives a direct and powerful feel with every crank, while also contributing to stability under high load. The AL Forced spool is built to handle thick PE lines and long casts with heavy lures.

In the 18000 size, the reel is equipped with the DRD Drag system, which provides extreme braking power and stability under heavy load. With a maximum drag of 30 kg, this is a reel that can handle brutal runs from large fish.

The Saltiga 18000 H is an obvious choice for heavy popping, stickbait fishing, and tropical fishing trips where the goal is truly big fish. It also works for heavy sea fishing when maximum power is required.

We at Outside Travels recommend this model to anglers who want absolute top performance and maximum reliability under demanding conditions.

With our curated selection, Outside Travels ensures you fish with reels from Daiwa that are built to handle the biggest challenges.
