Daiwa 25 Saltiga 20000-P (G)

The Daiwa 25 Saltiga represents the pinnacle of offshore spinning reel technology, engineered for anglers who demand uncompromising strength, reliability, and precision. Built on over two decades of refinement, the new Saltiga is designed to help you conquer the toughest fights, both at home and abroad. The 20000-P model is a low-gear powerhouse, offering maximum torque and cranking power when battling the largest, most stubborn fish.

Engineered Power and Performance

At the heart of the 25 Saltiga is the revolutionary POWERDRIVE DESIGN. This philosophy focuses on toughness and power, starting with the Oversized Power Digigearan enlarged and reinforced G1 aluminium main gear (over 10% larger than its predecessor). This superior gearing provides an unmistakable level of strength and winding power, drastically minimising gear distortion under the intense loads of a prolonged fight.

The low gear ratio of the 20000-P is specifically chosen to maximise leverage, making it the ideal choice for heavy vertical jigging and deep-water work where sheer hauling power is paramount.

Unmatched Durability and Water Resistance

For the challenging saltwater environments around the UK coast and offshore, the reels durability is critical. The One-Piece Monocoque (MQ) Aluminium Body provides a metal construction for maximum strength, housing the larger gear set securely while preventing any body flex. Coupled with Daiwas signature MagSealed Technology for both the main body and the line roller, the internal mechanisms are fiercely protected from salt, water, and debris, ensuring butter-smooth performance and extended component longevity in the harshest conditions.

Control in Every Turn

The new DRD/ATD Tough Drag System in the 20000 size delivers an enormous maximum drag of 30kg (66.1lb). The durable drag (DRD) mechanism, used for the larger models, is built to dissipate heat and maintain constant, smooth pressure throughout the run, providing the angler with unmatched control over hard-running fish. The POWERDRIVE Rotor also contributes to a sensitive initial movement response, keeping you firmly connected to the fish from the moment of the take.

UK Fishing Applications (20000-P Size)

The Daiwa 25 Saltiga 20000-P is a high-capacity, high-drag, power-focused reel. While it is designed for global big-game fishing (like Giant Trevally or large Tuna), its substantial specifications make it a specialised tool for the UKs most demanding offshore disciplines:

• Bluefin Tuna (Catch & Release Fishery): This is arguably the primary UK application for a reel of this calibre. The 20000 size offers the massive line capacity (PE10-300m) and the crushing 30kg of drag needed to safely and effectively fight the UKs powerful Atlantic Bluefin Tuna, ensuring a quick and clean release. The low 4.4:1 gear ratio is perfect for high-pressure, low-speed winding to gain line against a massive, deep-diving fish.
• Heavy Wreck & Deepwater Jigging: The power gear ratio (P) is an immense advantage for jigging over deep wrecks or reefs for species like large Conger Eels, giant Ling, or deep-dwelling Halibut. The increased torque makes it easier to work heavy jigs and winch powerful fish up from significant depths.
• Offshore Uptiding/Bottom Fishing: For targeting extremely large common skate, large turbot, or heavy specimens that require a high degree of brute force and line capacity from a boat.
