How to Use It

  1. Rod Pairing: Mount the reel on a medium‑heavy to heavy conventional rod rated for 20–65 lb line class.

  2. Spooling: Fill the spool with high‑quality braid or mono line, keeping the spool about 90% full for optimal casting and drag performance.

  3. Drag Setup: Adjust the star drag to about one‑third of your line’s breaking strength. Fine‑tune during the fight for maximum control.

  4. Casting: Use the free‑spool feature for long casts with live bait or heavy jigs. Adjust the centrifugal control knob to prevent backlash.

  5. Fighting Fish: Maintain steady pressure and use the reel’s high 6.4:1 ratio to quickly regain line and keep tension during runs.

  6. Maintenance: After each saltwater trip, rinse the reel gently with fresh water and wipe dry. Lubricate key points to maintain long‑term performance.

The Saltist SLTSD35 is built to handle serious saltwater battles while delivering smooth, reliable performance every trip — a true workhorse for dedicated anglers.
