SALTIGA IC

DESCRIPTION

SALTIGA IC 300 is a new intelligent control overhead with line counter and retrieve speed function on the conveniently placed LCD display on the top of the frame.

Designed to maximise anglers efficiency on the water when targetting bottom dwelling species that often suspend off the bottom such as snapper and pearl perch. Saltiga’s line counter system enables precise lure control to maximise your time in the strike zone.

PHILOSOPHY

Technologies

DAIWA TECHNOLOGY

Full HYPERDRIVE DESIGN concept has been utilised in SALTIGA IC 300 and you’ll instantly feel the benefits of the newly designed HYPERDRIVE DIGIGEAR. A new gear design which greatly increases gear durability and ease of winding under load.

10kg of ATD drag is perfectly suited to the PE2- 3 line class that is recommended for this reel. A powerful single handle with alloy ball knob gives a sturdy feel when reeling and fighting powerful fish.

A waterproof battery housing on the palming side of the reel powers the LCD display and line counter module, this can be replaced easily once depleted.

In 2021, Daiwa’s NEW bait reel will be revolutionized and reborn as a next-generation machine. The symbolic term is the hyperdrive design.
Hyperdrive design is a new design concept for baitcasting reels that aims to maintain high basic performance for a long time and greatly raise the level of all basic performance.
In order to achieve this, a double shaft bait reel is constructed with Hyperdrive Digigear (drive gear + pinion gear) as the core, hyper double support (pinion gear support method), hyper-armed housing, and hyper tough clutch. While further refining the technology cultivated from the past, the four important parts have been greatly brushed up with cutting-edge, first-ever technology. As the name suggests, it has transcendent drive performance, so the definition of Hyperdrive Design is a model equipped with Hyperdrive Digigear and improved rotation performance. Although it consists of up to four new technologies, it is categorized as a hyperdrive concept even if the three parts other than the drive gear are not new technology parts. In addition, various parts materials are used properly in the right place.

Next Generation Biaxial Baitcasting Reel Technology HYPERDRIVE Design

■ HYPERDRIVE DIGIGEAR
A newly designed gear system for baitcasting (biaxial) reels that pursues continuous strong and smooth rotation. DAIWA’s unique technology that achieves an increase in meshing ratio without reducing the gear tooth module (size), which is directly linked to durability, and realizes long-lasting initial smoothness.

■ HYPER DOUBLE SUPPORT

A drive support system that achieves continuous smoothness and winding strength and lightness. By supporting both ends of the pinion gear with high precision with two ball bearings, the input from the handle is not attenuated, and it is possible to wind up powerfully and lightly even when a load is applied.

■ HYPER-ARMED HOUSING (AL)

A housing system that firmly supports the internal structure with high rigidity and high precision, and produces precise winding comfort and power. It is a necessary condition to use a metal material for the frame, which is essential, and by combining it with a side plate or set plate, it is possible to continue to demonstrate the basic performance for a longer period of time. In this series, aluminum alloy is used for the frame, gear side plate, and dial side set plate. It is a full metal housing specification that achieves robustness and unrivaled strength.

■ HYPER TOUGH CLUTCH

A clutch system that not only has a sharp on/off trigger that keeps sliding thousands and tens of thousands of times, but also has extremely few troubles even in seawater with high salinity. It boasts a state-of-the-art insulation structure that has already achieved a 99% reduction in the number of sticking repairs in harsh salt scenes in our company.

■ MAGSEALED BALLBEARING

MagSeal protection is no longer just for the main shaft and rotor of a reel with MagSealed Ball Bearings providing ultimate protection for the most at risk location such as the engine side plate and line roller.

■ATD

This is a new generation of drag adjustment system that constantly adjusts tension according to the pull of the drag. it maintains smoothness and trolling abilities among reels, hence allowing anglers to concentrate on the fishing, not on setting the drag.

Usability

■ Compact Body / Thumb rest position

You’ll notice it at a glance, you’ll understand it even better when you pick it up, and you’ll be convinced once you use it.
For that reason, from the ease of palming to the thumb rest position, we aim for a reel that is easy for anglers to operate, and we do not cut corners.

■ IC counter
Accurately grabs the invisible underwater.

• 10cm unit water depth counter
• LED backlight (lit for 5 seconds/always lit/OFF) *Factory setting is “lit for 5 seconds”
• Depth alarm (1 time/3 times/5 times/OFF selection method)
• Winding speed display
• Timer
• Boat alarm
• One-shot correction for thread breakage
• Battery replaceable
• P3 drawer input 30-60m specification (New function)

■ Synchro Level-wind
A mechanism that lets the level wind lower in synch with the rig, the spool rotates while moving side to side during line retrieval. Line lays more evenly thus allowing it to fall more smoothly, and also enhances drag performance.

■ Spool

From the light jigging area to further depth. Saltiga IC falls into the category of compact type. Thoroughly identify the target fish species of this reel and capture areas that are not bound by conventional ideas. In order to embody the universal spirit of such bait jigging with the latest technology, we started a new spool size.
100 series and 300 series spools are each selected to narrow the spool width. By determining the spool width related to the body size, we derived the optimum spool diameter size of Φ36mm for the 100 series and Φ43mm for the 300 series, securing the necessary line capacity. If you try to secure the same line capacity with the conventional method of widening the spool width, the body is in the light direction, but the horizontally long silhouette makes it impossible to make it compact. In order not to betray the concept of being compact and unrivaled in robustness, we made it in the direction of increasing the spool diameter.

■ Self-replaceable Battery

Safe even if the battery runs out unexpectedly. Compatible with battery replacement.
Equipped with a battery cap that is resistant to scratches and has excellent waterproofness.
No special tools are required, the battery cap can be attached and detached as long as you have a coin, and you can replace the battery yourself.
Even if you change the battery, there is no need to redo the thread input. (CR2032 coin cell)

■The winding amount is a guideline and varies depending on the manufacturer, item, and tension.
■The winding length is the length per rotation of the handle.
