DAIWA Saltiga 22 Jigging Reel

Daiwa Saltiga 2022 Reel, the ultimate reference for jigging

The Saltiga 2022 represents the pinnacle of Daiwa's expertise in the world of jigging reels. Developed for demanding vertical fishing techniques such as jigging and slow jigging, this premium model has been designed to deliver maximum power, reliability, and smoothness in action.

Made in Japan, it is aimed at anglers seeking an exceptional reel capable of withstanding high mechanical stresses while maintaining smooth and precise operation. Its retrieval behaviour, structural rigidity, and assembly quality make it a tool built for hard-fighting battles at sea.

A Hyperdrive design focused on performance

The heart of the Saltiga 2022 is built around the Hyperdrive Design concept, an architecture developed to durably reinforce the reel without sacrificing rotation quality. This design relies on several major technical elements that work together to improve resistance, precision, and longevity.

The Hyper Drive Gear drive wheel has been engineered to offer greater robustness while preserving smooth retrieval. High-precision machining optimises contact between the pinion and the drive wheel, which maintains torque, consistency, and excellent feel during the retrieve.

A one-piece frame built to take punishment

The Saltiga 2022 features a Hyper Armed Housing aluminium frame, designed to maximise rigidity and minimise deformation under stress. This exceptionally rigid mechanical foundation directly contributes to the smoothness of operation and the reel's ability to maintain precision under heavy load.

The Hyper Double Support reinforces the hold of the pinion and crown gear at both ends. This optimised support improves transmission precision and the integrity of moving parts — a key point for a reel intended for powerful and repetitive fishing techniques.

Reliable mechanics for the toughest fights

The Hyper Tough Clutch completes this ensemble by reinforcing the engagement system. This component, which is heavily stressed during casting and retrieval phases, plays an essential role in the overall durability of the reel. With the Saltiga 2022, Daiwa clearly aims to secure every key point of the mechanics to guarantee a high level of long-term reliability.

The ATD technology drag system delivers progressiveness and control during the fight. It allows better management of fish runs, while maintaining steady and reassuring pressure when the fish sounds or bolts suddenly.

A reel designed for vertical saltwater fishing

Designed for jigging and slow jigging, the Saltiga 2022 delivers the power needed to work jigs correctly while maintaining smooth, effortless retrieval. It perfectly meets the expectations of anglers looking for a reel capable of working hard over extended sessions, with intensity, in deep or highly physical fishing situations.

Its premium design makes it a natural choice for demanding anglers, whether targeting hard-fighting species in light exotic fishing or for sustained vertical fishing techniques requiring power, precision, and mechanical endurance.
