Free braid included in all rod and reel combos (free braid and spooling no longer included in single reel purchases).

A substantial upgrade to the already established Saltist, the New Saltist MQ has been improved & redesigned for 2021. Still featuring a heavy duty aluminum frame for maximum durability, we have now added our Monocoque Body (MQ) for even more power and a more compact frame. An MQ frame design allows us to fit a larger gear inside of the reel, adding power and longevity to your gear set. A 360 degree screw-in sideplate removes to need for traditional sideplate screws, allowing for a more compact and more weather resistant housing.

Utilizing a Zaion AIR ROTOR, the rotation is effortless allowing you to cast and retrieve all day with ease.

Includes a solid Aluminum Round Knob for increased cranking power and grip comfort.

Complete with a Magsealed main shaft to maximize protection from the elements, you will be ready to take on the even the toughest of battles.

The Saltist MQ is truly a prime example of what a spinning reel should be capable of.

⦁ MONOCOQUE (MQ) Aluminum One-Piece Frame

Recommended Line:

These reels can work great with braid as well as monofilament lines from all top manufacturers. We personally recommend using braid as the mainline on top of some mono backing to use to stick to the spool and to fill the base layer of the spool with mono so you can save money on the braid.

Our 2 favorite lines for the Saltist MQ is Daiwa J-Braid x8 Grand and PowerPro. in the 10 lb to 30 lb range depending on what species you're targeting.
