Why You'll Love It:
The Saltiga LD 80 is built for situations where extreme strength, drag pressure and line capacity are essential. Its rigid one-piece aluminium frame provides a solid foundation for the drivetrain, while oversized stainless-steel gearing delivers the cranking power required when fighting powerful fish.
The two-speed transmission gives anglers a fast 3.9:1 gear for recovering line and a powerful 1.7:1 low gear when maximum torque is required. Combined with 27kg of maximum drag and a high-capacity spool, the LD 80 is designed for serious offshore game fishing.
