Product Description
High speed. Heavy torque. Built to rule the deep.
The Daiwa 25 Saltiga 20000-H is the flagship choice for serious offshore anglers who demand maximum speed, capacity, and control when the stakes are highest. With a 5.5:1 gear ratio and up to 30 kg of ATD Tough Drag, this reel brings blistering line retrieval and immense stopping power together in a single package. Engineered with Daiwa’s Monocoque body, oversized Powerdrive gears, and Magsealed protection, the Saltiga 20000-H delivers unrelenting performance on giant trevally, tuna, and marlin, the true apex predators of the open sea.
Why the Daiwa 25 Saltiga 20000-H?
- High-Speed Gear System: 5.5:1 ratio retrieves approximately 138 cm per crank, perfect for working big poppers, chasing fast-moving tuna, or recovering slack instantly.
- 30 kg ATD Tough Drag: Smooth, consistent pressure keeps even the strongest fish under control when they surge deep or run wide.
- Heavy Line Capacity: Deep spool holds PE 10 / 300 m, ample for long offshore runs and big-bait setups.
- Monocoque Body Strength: One-piece aluminum frame eliminates flex under high drag load, keeping the drive system perfectly aligned.
- Magsealed Bearings: Seals out saltwater, sand, and grit for years of smooth, corrosion-resistant operation.
- Balanced Powerdrive System: Combines high speed with high torque — letting you retrieve aggressively while still lifting under pressure.
When the line is screaming and the fish of a lifetime is on the other end, the Saltiga 20000-H delivers the strength, speed, and endurance to go the distance, and win.
Speed meets strength. Offshore perfected.
Engineered Power and Performance.
The 25 SALTIGA is all muscle, designed to help you "BREAK YOUR RECORD" and capture trophy fish, cast after cast. With a gear over 10% larger than its predecessor, the 25 SALTIGA delivers unmatched strength and precision you can feel with every turn.
NO FAILURES. NO COMPROMISES.
When the pressure is on, 25 SALTIGA delivers. The one-piece MONOCOQUE BODY and MAGSEALED technology ensure superior water resistance, keeping out salt and impurities for consistent, reliable performance in all conditions.

Experience raw strength redefined with the POWERDRIVE ENGINE body unit. Featuring an OVERSIZED POWER DIGIGEAR and POWER ROLLER OSCILLATION system, it delivers unmatched winding power, smoothness and durability.
SIZE THAT COMMANDS PERFORMANCE
Built with G1 duralumin for exceptional durability, the MONOCOQUE BODY design accommodates a larger, thicker gear—10% larger and 6% thicker than the previous model. Precisely engineered gear teeth enhance drive efficiency, while minimal deflection ensures stable, consistent meshing. This reduces power loss, providing smooth and effortless winding performance.
SMOOTH UNDER PRESSURE
The redesigned two-ball bearing pillar support system enhances oscillation efficiency by 20%, ensuring smooth, responsive, and powerful winding, even under heavy loads. Frictional resistance is significantly reduced, providing reliable performance and ultimate control when tackling the strain of the largest fish in the ocean.
The redesigned TOUGH LINE ROLLER SYSTEM is enlarged to endure repeated heavy loads, and the updated design better integrates the screw with the bail arm. Removing joints at high-stress points enhances rigidity and durability around the line roller. The new line roller, optimised for PE braided lines, reduces sliding resistance by approximately 3%.
POWER MEETS PRECISION
The new POWERDRIVE ROTOR is engineered for strength and efficiency. Crafted to handle the heaviest loads, this rotor delivers superior stability, allowing anglers to pull in the largest of fish with ease. The unique shape, which appears as though it was cut from a sphere, maintains low inertia and has an increased rigidity of 7%. The POWERDRIVE ROTOR ensures that each turn of the handle translates into a smoother, more powerful retrieve, even under extreme pressure.
ALWAYS IN CONTROL
The new crank-shaped design directs the line smoothly to the line roller without fail. The redesigned shape and spring mechanism enhance opening and closing angles, preventing unintentional bail movement. This improvement significantly enhances line feeding to the roller, especially during jigging and while the line is tensioned.
This is used for Models 18000 and above. Drags that use carbon washers are highly durable, but DRD takes it to another level with a new drag mechanism designed to target larger fish. With eight metal rollers on a single metal plate, DRD controls the loss of drag force caused by frictional heat. It is smooth under pressure and is 5x times more durable.
This is used for Models 14000 and below. The ATD TOUGH DRAG delivers exceptional drag strength and smoothness. The large carbon drag stack provides anglers with the ultimate in smooth performance and reliability.
RIGID ONE-PIECE BODY.
DAIWA’s “LC-ABS SW” technology enhances power and rigidity. The spool’s upper section is optimised with a two-step taper toward the spool ring, minimising friction for smoother line release. Its narrow width prevents tangling, even during the final stages of casting with less line remaining. This design ensures smooth casting with thick lines and improves casting distance by approximately 2%, providing anglers with an improved casting experience.

What fishing applications suit the 20000-H best?
Designed for heavy popper and stickbait casting, live-baiting, and deep offshore jigging where fast retrieval and strong drag are essential. Perfect for giant trevally, yellowfin, bluefin, and other powerful pelagics.
How does the 20000-H differ from the 20000-P?
The 20000-H features a faster 5.5:1 gear ratio (138 cm retrieve per turn) compared to the 20000-P's 4.4:1 ratio. The H model is ideal for surface-bait and lure work, while the P model is geared for maximum torque and deep-water power.
What braid and leader combination do you recommend?
PE 8–10 braid with a 100–150 lb fluorocarbon leader offers the right balance of strength and shock absorption for large offshore predators.
Is the reel suited for sustained offshore use?
Yes. The Magsealed system and Monocoque body ensure long-term protection against saltwater and grit. A freshwater rinse and periodic inspection will keep it performing season after season.
