Daiwa Saltiga Spinning Reels (New 2010)

New Daiwa Saltiga 2010


Daiwa Saltiga 2010®

The original Saltiga, launched in 2001, introduced ground breaking technology – Digigear, Airbail, Ultimate waterproofing and set the standard for all future Daiwa spinning reels. Its unparalleled engineering and flawless design made it the flagship heavy duty reel for Daiwa. Until now.

Daiwa Saltiga 2010

Introducing the all new 2010 Saltiga. With all the innovative design features you’ve come to expect from the world leader in fishing tackle.

The new Saltiga heralds a giant leap forward in design, revolving around one ground breaking material – magnetic fluid. Developed by NASA to magnetically deliver fuel to space ships and previously introduced to the 2010 Certate series, this revolutionary innovation has now been developed for Daiwa’s flagship heavy duty spinning reel.

This new metallic grease/oil actually changes shape with the introduction of a magnetic force (similar to the android in Terminator II), attaching itself to any other metal to form a super strong seal. Being magnetized this Magseal lubrication system prevents any friction or dust intrusion, eliminating oil spray and significantly improving reel life expectancy. This revolutionary magnetic oil membrane and Daiwa’s innovative design combined new CRBB bearings has made water intrusion a thing of the past.

Saltiga 10 also introduces Zaion Air Rotor. Zaion is a super strong light material is like no other a revolutionary combination of strength and sensitivity. The rotor design disperses pressure to the entire lower section, dramatically decreasing stress and flexing.

Working in conjunction with the Mag Seal the Air Rotor has been hollowed out to create airflow through the whole rotor system. This prevents foreign material such as water, salt, sand and dust collecting inside the reel, the added air flow eliminates moist build up in the reel preventing corrosion issues.

With other designs innovations like Real Four, Hyper Digigear, UTD and Airbail the new Saltiga 10 sets the standard as the best heavy duty reel available, so then just when you thought Saltiga Z was the best you could buy, think again.

Ultimate Tournament Drag (UTD)

The New Saltiga introduces revolutionary technology. To understand this leading technology Daiwa’s Development Engineers explain the secret to Daiwa’s latest drag technology – UTD or Ultimate Tournament Drag.

UTD

Daiwa’s latest drag system, UTD or Ultimate Tournament Drag, is a super high density, woven carbon drag washer system that is impregnated with a specially designed oil/grease.

The new system has many benefits over the old design. Firstly it substantially increases the practical drag pressure. Secondly the inertia to get the drag working is dramatically decreased. Thirdly the drag is now incredibly smooth. And last but not least it has stabilized and balanced the drag system against spool rotation.

Furthermore the carbon drag washers are up to 30 times more durable compared to the previous drag washers.

The above graph is comparative data showing the difference between the new Saltiga drag system versus the old system. The drag setting is shown at 3kg being pulled at a speed of 10 km/h.

The old Saltiga drag is shown as light blue in the graph and when an angler strikes or lifts the rod the drag pressure increases (highlighted in pink). This sudden increase in drag pressure can cause line and rod breakage, but if the angler lowers the rod or decreases the drag pressure the drag will stabilize. But with the UTD system in the new Saltiga (shown as dark blue) there is no increase in drag pressure, minimal inertia to begin working and it maintains smooth drag efficiency throughout the operation.

With this system now standard, the new Saltiga allows for the angler to set the drag at a higher pressure than ever before without the fear of line breakage or pulling the hook from a fish’s jaws. As a result, with fast fish like tuna or hiramasa, which often strike hard, there is a decreased risk of losing the fish due to the increase in drag pressure during hook setting.

The UTD drag system is the first all inclusive drag that reduces the need for the angler to manually maintain the drag system during the fight and eliminates hooks pulling free on the strike or line breakage caused by the drag’s start up inertia.
