Daiwa Saltist LTD 6500 Hyper 82XH Stickbait Combo 8ft PE8 2pc

Time-tested reliability and performance

If you’re looking for an ultra-tough stickbait rig, the Daiwa Saltist LTD 6500 Hyper 82XH Stickbait 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 Hyper 82XH rod which is made of HVF carbon as well as advanced design and construction 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 Hyper 82XH Spinning Rod has everything you need in a rod – cutting-edge design, advanced technology, strength and reliability. The rugged blank features HVF carbon; Daiwa’s low-resin, high-strength, reduced weight and high-density carbon to get rid of unwanted weight, yet loaded with all the power.

Fuji reel seats creates an immovable fusion between rod and reel it’s like you glued them together. Fuji O Concept guides offers 360-degree protection from bumps, hits and dings; reduces guide draw, twist bend and weight resulting in a more responsive rod. What’s more, the ultra tough EVA grip puts the power in your hands to battle the toughest fish, while offering you the comfort to use all day long. Power, strength, lightness and integrity are the hallmarks of this rod.
