Daiwa SLP Works 25 Saltiga DRD Spool Assembly

The DRD is a completely new drag mechanism that withstands the repeated long-term pursuit of large fish and prevents wear and seizure at high drag settings. Instead of the carbon washers used in conventional drags, the DRD washer features eight metal rollers mounted on a single metal plate. This prevents drag force loss due to frictional heat and boasts durability more than five times that of carbon washers (based on Daiwa comparison tests). It also contributes to smooth start-up.

While the LC-ABS achieves smooth line release by optimizing the spool ring shape, the LC-ABS SW employs a two-stage tapered shape on the upper surface of the spool winding section toward the spool ring. This reduces friction with the line released from the deep diameter, resulting in a smooth casting feel and further improving release performance in the latter half of the cast. This contributes to an approximately 2% increase in casting distance, especially when using thicker lines, which have a greater change in line diameter during the cast. This supports anglers' desire for longer casting distances.

Accessories include: Line adjustment washer, spool band, instruction manual.

Please note: When using the DRD14000 spool, the SALTIGA DRD Radiation Knob (sold separately) must be replaced.
