With support from a new full metal MONOCOQUE (MQ) body concept, 25 SALTIGA has gained extra strength and retrieve power compared to previous models. A new MONOCOQUE (MQ) body design further enlarges internal body space to allow larger drive gear to be installed. MQ construction also allows the engine plate to replace the need for screws to stabilise the drive gear. MQ concept improves support of the internal parts and adds durability and resistance to intrusion. DAIWA’s “LC-ABS SW” technology enhances power and rigidity. The spool’s upper section is optimised with a two-step taper toward the spool ring, minimising friction for smoother line release. Its narrow width prevents tangling, even during the final stages of casting with less line remaining. This design ensures smooth casting with thick lines and improves casting distance by approximately 2% providing anglers with an improved casting experience. MAGSEALED is a technology that implements a special liquid material developed originally for aerospace engineering called MAGOIL. MAGOIL is used to create a water and dust-resistant barrier in lieu of traditional rubber seals. This is an innovative water resistance method that maintains rotational performance. The ultimate focus of MAGSEAL was to protect the gearing inside the reel body and the bearings. Two of the key components to protect if overall performance is to be preserved. MAGSEALED bearings have been designed to last longer than traditionally sealed ball bearings. The balls are encapsulated in a completely waterproof housing. The inner and outer rings are magnetised and joined by waterproof and stable MAGSEALED oil. This means the initial performance of the reel will be indefinitely preserved. The longevity is beyond comparison to a waterproof industrial bearing. 25 SALTIGA is equipped with MAGSEALED bearings on both sides of the drive gear.
