Daiwa Saltist LTD 6500 Demon Blood 56-6/8 Spin Jig Combo 5ft 6in 150-300g 1pc

Time-tested reliability and performance

If you’re looking for an ultra-tough stickbait rig, the Daiwa Saltist LTD 6500 Demon Blood 56-6/8 Spin Jig Combo has got you covered. In this set you get the super heavy-duty Daiwa Saltist LTD 6500 Reel which has Daiwa’s Magseal – making it tough, smooth and corrosion-resistant. You also get the Daiwa Saltist Demon Blood rod to give you the ultimate combination of strength, power, sensitivity and value for money.

The Reel
Reduced saltwater penetration, minimised corrosion, longer life and better performance – the Daiwa Saltist LTD 6500 Magseal Spinning Reel is upgraded and packed with features that take saltwater fishing to a whole new level.

ATD
Daiwa’s new drag, ATD provides greater support of the spool across the entire length of the main shaft. This additional support reduces spool twist under load, promotes more even wear of the drag washers and ultimately reduces “pulsing” of the drag when fighting fish. Combined with new improved drag grease that exhibits a low viscosity at rest, yet becomes more viscous immediately after drag start up. This reduces initial drag startup inertia and combined with the structural changes of the ATD Drag System results in a smoother drag from the initial hook up.

Airbail
Airbail features a hollow, tubular bail arm for maximum rigidity and strength, with minimum weight. The smooth, protrusion free design ensures lose line, common after a cast, slides easily down the bail onto the line roller during the retrieve, eliminating line tangles.

Air Rotation
Especially for our reels with oil barrier (Mag Sealed reels) mechanism Daiwa has developed a complete new Air Rotor. So the enormous strains, which affect the rotor via the line and the line roller are better distributed. This causes less pressure on the single parts of the rotor. The new rotor is 15% more light weighted than usual rotors of the same material – this reduces vibrations and enhances the rotational balance thanks to a very low centre of gravity.

Magseal
Given the popularity of saltwater fishing, reducing water penetration into the reel is a major goal to minimise corrosion and promote longer life and better performance. If saltwater infiltrates a reel and dries, it crystallises, and then erodes gears and bearings. Through years of research and development, Daiwa found the solution – a membrane of magnetic oil, in conjunction with magnets between the body and the rotor of the reel, which greatly reduces the penetration of water inside the body via the main shaft. Being magnetised this lubrication system avoids any friction, reduces dust intrusion, eliminates oil spray and improves reel life expectancy.

The Rod
The Daiwa Saltist Demon Blood 56-6/8 Spin Jigging Rod has a “more muscle and less fat” attitude at the core of its design. Awaken the angling demon within!

HVF – High Volume Fibre
At the heart of the Demon Blood’s blank design is HVF – High Volume Fibre, combining precise resin control with unidirectional graphite fibre to produce a blank with maximum graphite density. X45 features heavily within the series and involves a cross directional wrapping method in blank construction to eliminate blank twist and distortion to increases rod strength, function, and sensitivity. 3DX further enhances blank performance and involves a three dimensional carbon weave at the lower section of the rod.

V-Joint Technology
V-Joint technology takes the performance and strength of Demon Blood’s multi-piece rods to another level, with the Bias Wrap construction within the joint allowing the rod ferrule to flex with the rod to eliminate weak spots, and ensure that multi-piece blanks match the performance of one-piece blanks in flex, power and responsiveness. Comfort and control go hand in hand with full length ultra tough, EVA grips fitting seamlessly and comfortably in your hand and blending seamlessly with the Demon Blood’s reel seats to allow you to take complete control of the rod and reel and reap the full benefits and power of the blank.
