Daiwa 21 Saltist MQ Spin Reel

MONOCOQUE (MQ) MQ Body takes reel design to the next level. The MQ system does not require a body cover, instead using an engine plate to screw directly to the body. Eliminating the need for screws to hold a body cover in place. MQ body improves the strength of the reel, it also improves the water-resistance of the body and allows a larger diameter drive gear to be installed.

The Daiwa Saltist Star Drag Conventional Reels are built from machined aluminum and anodized for maximum corrosion resistance making them sturdy and durable yet high performing. The 6.4 to 1 gear ratio is fast enough for jigging, yet strong enough to put big fish on the deck. These reels are competitively priced for a high-performance reel.

The new Saltist series is a great entry level rod series for guys fishing in SoCal, offering the right lengths and line classes to go for the vast majority of species and fishing styles. These will be hard to beat when paired with a good budget reel like the Daiwa Saltist, Penn Fathom or Okuma Cavalla for the conventional models. I’d recommend the Daiwa BG MQ and Okuma Cedros series for the spinning given all of the extra features.

The Saltist you have come to know and love has been redesigned and upgraded. Still featuring a heavy duty aluminum frame for maximum durability, Daiwa has now added their Monocoque Body (MQ) for even more power and a more compact frame. An MQ frame design allows us to fit a larger gear inside of the reel, adding power and longevity to your gear set. A 360 degree screw-in sideplate removes to need for traditional sideplate screws, allowing for a more compact and more weather resistant housing.
