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.

- Reel pouch & documentation
- Warranty information & registration card
- After saltwater use, lightly rinse with fresh water and dry. Avoid pressure-washing the rotor/bail area.
- Back off drag after trips to preserve the carbon stack.
- Periodically grease line roller and handle knob bearings; service as required to maintain Magsealed performance.
What fishing styles suit the 8000-H?
Perfect for high-speed lure work such as stickbaiting, poppering and fast-paced jigging for kingfish, tuna and other pelagics where rapid line recovery and lure cadence matter.
How does the 8000-H differ from the 8000-P model?
The H features a higher gear ratio (5.6 : 1 approx 110 cm per turn) for speed and casting applications, while the P (4.8 : 1) prioritises torque and crank power for deep-jigging or slow presentations.
Is the 8000-H fully sealed for saltwater use?
Yes, it employs Daiwa's Magsealed and Magsealed bearing technology at key points for excellent water resistance. A light rinse and routine care after each trip are still recommended to maintain peak performance.
What line and rod pair best with the 8000-H?
PE 3-4 braid on a 6'0"-7'6" top-water rod rated to 80 lb is ideal for Kingfish and mid-pelagic targets. The reel pairs beautifully with Daiwa Saltiga and Saltist series rods for casting or heavy spin applications.
Where can I buy the Daiwa 25 Saltiga 8000-H (G)?
