It is introducing the new Saltist MQ reel, equipped with a single-piece aluminum Monocoque body designed to withstand the tough conditions of Australian saltwater fishing and the hardy fish in these waters. One of Daiwa's most renowned features, Magseal, combines with the MQ body to create a reel that is well-protected from the harsh marine environment. The larger diameter Tough Digigear, housed in the single piece Monocoque body, transfers power delivered through the handle to your line, enabling you to stop even the strongest fish in their tracks. 

In addition, Saltist MQ features a tubular hollow Air Bail, which enhances line management and improves line flow back into the line roller, providing unmatched performance even in windy conditions with the lightest braids. With a comprehensive size range from 2500 up to 20000, there is a Saltist MQ reel suitable for every fishing location in the country. Whether you're casting lures or dropping baits for reef species and pelagics, or fishing in coastal estuaries and rivers, Saltist MQ has got you covered. 

All Saltist MQ models now come with the Aluminium Round Knob, providing superior grip and stability. If you're in the market for a new saltwater spinning reel that can handle the toughest conditions, look no further than the brand-new Saltist MQ.

Product Features: 

Monocoque (MQ) – One Piece Body

MQ Body takes reel design to the next level. The MQ system does not require conventional side plate, instead using an engine plate to screw directly to the body. Eliminating the need for screws to hold a body cover in place. MQ body improves the strength of the reel, it also improves the water resistance of the body and allows a larger diameter drive gear to be installed.

ABS-Longcast – Long Cast Spool Technology

Compared to conventional spools, the LC-ABS has been shown to increase the average flight distance by approx. 5% due to its reduced weight and modified shape.

Air-Bail

Daiwa’s innovative bail design features a hollow tubular stainless steel bail that delivers maximum rigidity and strength with minimum weight. Featuring a smooth protrusion-free design and construction line easily slides unencumbered along the Air Bail towards the line roller for trouble-free line control.

Air-Rotor – Lightweight Rotor

Lighter, stronger, and more balanced than any rotor system that’s come before, ‘Air Rotor’ delivers a great leap forward in rotor design and function and delivers the ultimate line roller support. Made from Zaion and featuring a redesigned arch that disperses pressure to the lower section of the rotor to reduce stressing and flexing, the design is further enhanced with a hollowed-out construction reducing weight, while increasing reel sensitivity and rotational balance.

ATD-Drag – Automatic Tournament 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.

Machine Cut Handle

Our new handle design is slimmer, more compact, and 50% lighter. 

Infinite Anti Reverse

Daiwa's advanced system that limits rearward back play handle movement to almost zero for solid hooksets with less shock to the reel. The result is the elimination of handle slap-back and the unwanted release of line.

Magsealed-Body

Ultimate protection is delivered to the engine room of the reel with a magnetised oil seal located on the main shaft of the reel’s rotor shutting the door to the elements and unwanted intruders. Dust, water, and salt intrusion into the inner workings of a reel are a thing of the past with MagSeal.

Metal Ball Knob

Providing maximum contact between the handle knob and the hand, ball knobs are designed for optimal rotation balance, rotation, and functionality.

Metal Alloy Body

Rock solid in strength and performance, the alloy is tailor made for Australian conditions and allows a reel to be created that is light, yet strong, supremely rigid and highly corrosion resistant.

Perfect Line Stopper – Improved Line Clip Design

Our new larger rectangular flexible clip can be used from all line angles and from light to heavy lines.
