Frequently asked questions.
Still unsure? Call +1-877-337-9591. You'll talk to a builder, not a sales rep.
-
Does this reel come in a left-hand retrieve model?
No, the Daiwa Saltiga LD Two-Speed series is built only in a right-hand retrieve. Left-handed anglers should look into the Saltiga Star Drag or Saltiga SJ single-speed jigging series.
-
Why do I see two different handles in the pictures?
The smaller sizes of the Salitga LD Two-Speed (15-40) come standard with the black rubber handle, while the larger sizes (50-80) come with the silver aluminum T-bar handle. The silver T-bar handle is compatible with the smaller sizes, but you would need to purchase a factory spare or aftermarket piece to install- boxes don't come standard with additional handles.
-
How do I shift between speeds during a fight?
You can easily shift between the two speeds for this reel by pushing the flush button located at the base of the handle arm to instantly drop into low-gear power mode. To shift back into high gear, you slide the release trigger located on the handle shank.
-
What is the difference between high gear and low gear retrieves?
High gear recovers line quickly (up to 48.6 inches per turn based on size) to bring in slack or chase fast fish. Low gear cuts the retrieve rate in half to give you maximum mechanical leverage for winching up heavy bottom fish.
