In a dogfight, someone's going down. The Daiwa® Saltiga® Dogfight Lever Drag Reel is here to make sure that someone isn't you. In short, this reel is designed to win sailfish tournaments—and for your frequent encounters with big sails, tuna, wahoo, and dolphin, it's an absolute must-have. Strong and secure, with smooth, precise action, the Saltiga Dogfight is built around a machined-aluminum 1-piece frame and sideplate; its lightweight spool is also precision crafted from machined aluminum. Inside, massive helical-cut stainless steel gears deliver perfect-meshing, powerful winding, day in and day out. The 7-bearing (6+1) system uses 6 sealed CRBB stainless steel ball bearings to ensure long-term smooth operation, plus a roller bearing to support the ratchet anti-reverse; centrifugal cast control helps avoid backlashes when casting into or across a stiff breeze. The Dogfight is the first reel to incorporate Daiwa's "Sailfish Special" UTD carbon lever drag, with 22 lbs. of pressure at strike ranging to 30 lbs. of max drag. Advanced spool click system; offset power handle with Soft Touch custom handle knob; machined-aluminum rod clamp for maximum stability.
