Daiwa - Saltist MQ Spinning Reels

The Daiwa Saltist MQ Spinning Reel builds on the proven Saltist platform with Daiwa's Monocoque Body (MQ) design, delivering a rigid aluminum construction in a compact package built for demanding saltwater fishing. The MQ system replaces a traditional sideplate with a 360-degree screw-in engine plate, creating additional internal space for a larger-diameter drive gear while maintaining a streamlined reel body.

Inside, Tough Digigear provides precise gear engagement for smooth, durable operation, while Daiwa's Automatic Tournament Drag (ATD) delivers a controlled transition from initial drag startup through sustained pressure. A lightweight Zaion V AIR ROTOR provides balanced, responsive rotation, and the hollow tubular stainless steel Air Bail helps guide line smoothly toward the line roller for consistent line management.

Daiwa's Magsealed main shaft helps limit intrusion from water and contaminants around a critical entry point, adding protection for use in saltwater environments. Available in sizes ranging from a compact 2500 for lighter inshore applications through a powerful 20000 for heavier offshore setups, the Saltist MQ lineup allows anglers to match reel size, capacity, and power to a wide range of saltwater techniques and target species.

Features:

• Air Bail – Daiwa's hollow tubular stainless steel bail combines rigidity with a lightweight design. Its smooth profile helps guide line toward the line roller for consistent line management during casting and retrieve.
• Air Rotor – Daiwa's lightweight rotor design distributes mass to provide balanced, responsive rotation and smooth reel operation.
• Automatic Tournament Drag (ATD) – Daiwa's ATD system uses specialized drag grease and a refined drag structure designed to provide a smooth transition from initial startup through sustained drag pressure.
• Monocoque Body (MQ) – The Monocoque construction replaces a traditional body cover with a screw-in engine plate. This design creates additional internal space, allowing a larger diameter drive gear to fit within a compact, rigid body.
• Tough Digigear – Digitally designed and machine-cut gearing engineered for precise gear engagement, smooth rotation, and durability.
• Magsealed Main Shaft – Daiwa's Magsealed technology helps limit the intrusion of water and contaminants around the main shaft for added protection in saltwater environments.
• Zaion V AIR ROTOR – Lightweight rotor construction designed to provide balanced rotation and responsive operation.
• Wide Size Range – Available from 2500 through 20000 sizes for a variety of inshore and offshore saltwater fishing applications.
