Built around an aluminum frame that keeps weight down without sacrificing rigidity, the Daiwa Saltist Star Drag 50 is engineered for the demands of serious saltwater fishing. The ATD (Automatic Tournament Drag) carbon fiber system uses a specialized grease that shifts viscosity at startup, cutting initial inertia so the drag engages smoothly the moment a fish runs. Four Corrosion Resistant Ball Bearings (CRBB) and a centrifugal braking system round out a reel designed to hold up in harsh marine conditions season after season.

Features:

• Aluminum Body: Lightweight yet rigid construction that resists corrosion without the weight penalty of heavier metals.
• ATD Drag: Automatic Tournament Drag grease transitions from low viscosity at rest to high viscosity under load, minimizing startup inertia for a smooth initial hook-set response.
• Centrifugal Brake: Brake force scales proportionally with spool rotation speed -- stronger braking when the spool spins fastest, for controlled, consistent casts.
