The 2025 Daiwa Saltist Star Drag Jigging Reel is built around a lightweight aluminum frame and Daiwa's ATD carbon fiber drag system — a combination that keeps pressure on hard-running saltwater species without sacrificing the smooth, consistent payout serious jigging demands. Four corrosion-resistant ball bearings and a centrifugal brake system round out a package engineered to hold up in the harshest saltwater conditions season after season.

Features:

• Aluminum Body: A lightweight yet exceptionally rigid frame that resists corrosion without the weight or cost penalties of alternative metals.
• ATD Drag System: Daiwa's Automatic Tournament Drag uses a specialized drag grease with low viscosity at rest that becomes more viscous the moment the drag engages — reducing start-up inertia for a silky-smooth hook-set and consistent pressure throughout the fight.
• Centrifugal Brake: Brake force scales proportionally with spool rotational speed, applying greater resistance at higher speeds for controlled, tangle-free performance during long drops and fast retrieves.
• CRBB Bearings: Corrosion-resistant ball bearings extend service life in demanding saltwater environments.
