Arguably the most anticipated reel in recent Daiwa history — the new small-size Saltiga is finally here.
Engineered for serious saltwater anglers, the 23 Saltiga is the result of a decade of Daiwa innovation and sets a new benchmark in mid-size offshore performance.
The 23 Saltiga 5000-XH redefines mid-size saltwater spinning performance — smoother, stronger, and better sealed than ever. Whether you’re chasing kingfish, tuna, or reef dwellers, this reel gives you confidence in every turn of the handle.
Ideal for offshore soft plastics, slow-pitch jigging, and casting over shallow reef flats, the new 23 Saltiga stands as Daiwa’s toughest and most refined mid-size reel ever produced.
Features:
- AIRDRIVE DESIGN
Lightweight, ultra-smooth, and efficient. Lower start-up inertia delivers effortless winding without sacrificing strength — even under heavy load. - Redesigned Bail & Rotor Assembly
A thinner, lighter hollow stainless-steel bail arm and refined rotor shape ensure superior balance and line flow. - TWISTBUSTER III Technology
Dramatically reduces line twist for longer, smoother casts and flawless line management. - MONOCOQUE (MQ) Aluminium Body
Solid one-piece frame houses a larger drive gear for increased torque, strength, and durability — while sealing out saltwater intrusion. - Dual MAGSEAL Protection
MAGSEAL above pinion gear prevents water entry from above.
MAGSEAL BEARINGS on both sides of the drive gear block ingress from the handle area.
