Undoubtedly, the best combination of Daiwa's technologies for combating corrosion caused by saltwater intrusion into the reel.

The new Saltist MQ reel features a brand new Monocoque aluminum body and Magsealed bearings.

If you are looking for a reel that is salt water resistant, then you will definitely find what you are looking for in the new Saltist MQ movement.

Technologies :

Mag Sealed :

The MAGSEALED oil is a magnetic oil that uses aerospace technology to protect the internal components of the reel and ensure smooth rotation. The MAGSEALED technology is based on a magnetic oil developed by NASA. This fluid connection was initially used for the internal operation of hard disks, providing dust sealing but not waterproofing. Daiwa engineers took on the challenge of creating a waterproof oil, working to control the intensity of the magnetic force. This required hundreds of tests with adjustments at the micron level! The technology has been tested and proven in water with the world's top experts in every scientific field and has yielded a proven benefit in smooth rotation.

ATD :

The ATD (Automatic Tournament Drag) brake system features discs infused with a new special grease that optimizes the energy efficiency of the brake. This high-quality grease offers better initial grip, providing a more stable and progressive brake. As a result, the risk of line breakage during battles is minimized, thanks to the precise response of the ATD brake, which adjusts to every phase of the fight: engaging faster and more progressively at startup and offering better control during the heat of the battle. It automatically adapts to different constraints at each stage of the fight, hence its name Automatic Tournament Drag. With the Daiwa ATD brake, be prepared for calmer and better-controlled battles. The drag knob tightening is more precise, and the internal base of the spool fits better onto the axis to eliminate any play when the brake is released.

Air Rotor :

Balance, stability, and sensitivity characterize the Air-Rotor. Its arched profile, which is 15% lighter than a typical rotor, offers optimal rotational fluidity and eliminates vibrations due to its lower center of gravity.

Zaion :

Some of Daiwa's bodies and rotors are made of Zaion, an exclusive high-density carbon with corrosion-resistant properties that is lighter and harder than magnesium. The engineers of Zaion set out to create a material that was as hard as metal but as lightweight as carbon. Conventional wisdom states that an aluminum cylinder provides hardness while a carbon-based material is required for constructing a lightweight body and rotor. Zaion is a fusion of these two properties. While regular carbon is made of nylon 6-6 resin and carbon fibers in a ratio of 20%, Zaion has twice the density of carbon fibers. The result is a unique material that is as strong as magnesium. A Zaion body is 25% lighter than its magnesium counterpart and 50% lighter than aluminum!

Tough Digigear :

This technology is an evolution of "Digigear" that allows for precise processing of the control wheel by providing it with a superior contact surface in order to increase the durability and fluidity of the mechanics.

Monocoque body :

The Monocoque Body now comes in a new, uniquely equipped symmetrical design. This symmetrical construction first appeared on the Certate HD 2016 and now marks a turning point in the history of reels, inaugurating a new generation of harder wheels. The transmission gear is enclosed in a monocoque body, which is harder and better sealed than ever before.

Infinite Anti Reverse :

It limits the reverse motion of the handle... to zero for better "hook sets" without shaking the mechanism and without any line slippage.

Air Bail :

The tubular column "Touch Air Bail" made of SUS303 steel is 20% stronger and lasts 13 times longer than a solid titanium column of the same weight.

Twist Buster 2 :

In a nutshell, the Twist Buster technology reduces the friction of the line on the roller and minimizes line twist. Daiwa applies this technology as a solution to line twist during long casts in two ways: it "forces" the line to be launched in a specific direction at a specific angle towards the roller, and the Rollers constructed with the Twin Buster technology feature a special cone that forces the line to "twist" during retrieval in the opposite direction of the twist created by the spool's movement.
