Inside the New Daiwa Saltiga 30000P | ICAST 2026
When I bought an 18000-sized spinning reel for tuna, I couldn't imagine there might be anything bigger. After all, most of my experience over the years involved 2500- and 3000-size reels that were perfectly capable of taming just about any bass that bit. Daiwa’s Saltiga 30000P made me rethink that assumption.
