SALTIST HARD ROCK FISH

The name pretty much lets you know what this reel was designed for. If your fishing takes you into the rugged salt waters of the Australian coast the Saltist HRF is just what you’re looking for if you need a tough high-capacity, low-profile reel.
Designed for either braided lines or monofilament, the Saltist HRF will tackle any medium to heavy saltwater action you care to throw at it, from barramundi and jacks up north to mulloway and flathead down south. Daiwa has really rigged this reel for all out use in saltwater. With specialized anti-corrosion treatment and 8 exclusive Corrosion Resistant Ball Bearings (CRBB) Saltist will give you years of use and won’t seize up just when you need it the most. The beefy, seven disc fiber composite wet drag keeps water out and the drag smooth, even when a hot fish is pulling for all it’s worth. Everything is kept in place by the solid one-piece aluminum frame and sideplate and the machined Free Floating aluminum wiffle spool gives you quick startup and long cast ability. You’ll be able to perfectly control your spool speed and virtually eliminate backlash with Daiwa’s new ultra deep Magforce-Z automatic magnetic anti-backlash control. Magforce-Z automatically applies more spool drag as the speed of the spool ramps up and the adjustment knob features an easy one finger control.
Tough conditions demand tough tackle, Daiwa takes the next step in introducing a purpose designed saltwater baitcaster. Setting a new standard in baitcaster technology the Saltist HRF is destined to become the benchmark against which others are judged.
