Comparing two fantastic Daiwa Spinning reels today for yall. Lets take an in depth look into these two reels- how are they different- how are they similar? Lets find out together! Main Channel- / @coastalworldwideshorts
Absolutely, yes. The certate SW is extremely close to the saltiga, whereas the saltist is far from the certate. In terms of value, I believe the saltist is overpriced and is nothing more than a magsealed BG MQ, which itself is overpriced IMO. The certate on the other hand, is a slightly watered down saltiga. Looking at Daiwa's entire spinning reel lineup, the certate SW is possibly the best value for an absolute beast of a reel.
If you do your research well before giving accurate information to the community, the Difference is the drag system and the body. Saltiga has ATD drag system and all metal body while certate doesn’t have the ATD drag and Zaion body construction. That’s about it. Internals are same.
All of what you said is wrong. Certate sw does have the exact same atd drag as the saltiga. And the exact same aluminium body as the saltiga. The certate has a Zion rotor only. Some differences in magseal bearings and the saltiga has spool support bearings whereas the certate has a brass washer. And the differences in the handle/knob.
