DAIWA 14 Saltiga Expedition 5500H-EXP

The main shaft, line roller, and ball bearings are Mag Sealed.
Expedition special model with improved durability and rotation performance.

This is Daiwa's ultimate spinning reel for saltwater lure games, developed to catch the largest targets in offshore games, such as tuna, yellowtail, amberjack, GT, and marlin, which resist with powerful thrusts and runs after being hit. In addition to the waterproof and durable technology "MAG SEALED" used in existing models, the new technology Mag Sealed ball bearing is equipped on the line roller part (1 piece) and handle shaft (2 pieces). This improves waterproof performance and rotation performance more than ever before. The initial rotation performance is maintained for a longer period of time. In addition, a fully machine-cut radiation drag knob is standard equipment, and the drag grease has been improved to always demonstrate stable drag performance. The adoption of a ZAION air rotor that combines strength and lightness also features a light initial movement of the handle. Not only power, but also the best of Daiwa technology is gathered together to enjoy offshore games comfortably. The lineup consists of two types: the 5500H, which is ideal for casting large yellowtail and GTs, and the 8000H, which is designed for tuna.

While it has the same medium body size as the existing Saltiga 5000H, it is equipped with a line capacity that can handle sudden hits of large fish. The spool that can hold 270m of PE6 is larger than the 5000H, and is suitable for large targets such as large yellowtail and inshore tuna. The UTD Hyper Tune and Radiation Drag Knob can handle the intense runs of large fish. The lightweight ZAION air rotor makes it easy to hold and to easily perform lure action. The new face of the evolved Saltiga, which maintains the initial state of all rotating parts thanks to Mag Shield ball bearings, Mag Shield, and Hyper Digigear.
