The 2025 Saltist Star Drag reels are designed to deliver smooth and reliable performance while taming your saltwater trophy gamefish. Daiwa's ATD carbon fiber drag system provides smooth drag payout while maintaining durability, giving you the confidence to take on even the largest species. And with Daiwa's CRBB (Corrosion Resistant Ball Bearings) increasing the longevity of its smooth performance, you can trust that your Saltist will keep performing reliably, even in the most corrosive saltwater environments. Whether you're targeting trophy fish or just looking for a reliable reel to get put fish in the cooler year after year, the 25Saltist Star Drag reels are the perfect choice.

The Tanacom family has a new big brother. The all new Tanacom 1200 holds and astounding 1,100 yards of 80-pound-test Daiwa J-Braid – that’s 220 yards more than the Tanacom 1000. It also has a 30 percent faster retrieval rate at a quick 140m/min, and 20 percent more power with 22lbs of max winding power. Maximum drag pressure has improved, too. Saltwater-sealed, it now stands at a trophy-turning 50 pounds. Kite-fishing fans will also appreciate the over-sized line guide aperture which is big enough to let swivels and large knots pass through, so go ahead and crank that rig right up to your rod tip. Still, the biggest improvement must be the new motor placement and gearing system. Previous Tanacom reels had the motor on the front which was sufficient. The Tanacom 1200, however, has the motor and new gearing hidden inside the spool itself – and that positioning really makes a difference in this reel’s outstanding performance. This new engineering design allows the same dependable motor we’ve had such great success with to generate even more power, speed and efficiency. Combine that with the rigid frame and side-plates, plus repositioned bearings that see less water exposure, and this reel is ready to rock and roll. It’s so fast, powerful, smooth, and saltwater tough that I can even see it pulling double-duty with swordfish, especially considering the outstanding line capacity. All the above changes are significant but big game, canyon and offshore fans will also love the Tanacom 1200’s ease of operation. To that end, you’ll find an easy-to-read LED dot screen and sealed electronics package with selectable languages to prompt you through power assist settings and procedures including automatic stop and jigging features. Using the Tanacom 1200, anglers can choose to fight fish with the Power Lever and Aluminum Round Knob or let the 12-volt power variable-speed assist do the heavy hauling. When you’re done for the day, simply wash down the reel without worrying about wetting the electronics because they are fully sealed.

The 9, 209, and 309 level wind reels are legendary for their versatile performance. Anglers worldwide have found their reliability and incredible toughness is at home anywhere - fresh or saltwater, casting or trolling. The popularity of these reels is unwavering, even though the design and look date back to the early 1940's with a simplistic, functional, and durable reel that is extremely capable.
