The new Daiwa Isla....Saltiga's lower priced sister.


Recommended Posts

hmm, so its got a Zaion rotor, magnetic oil and 33kg drag. No mention of any gears or bearings etc. Was hoping for more info.Im assuming it will sit lower than the Catalina, cant see how a reel would slot in under the Saltiga but above the Catalina.Sure looks sweet, I like its "stumpyness"

I think these are just Catalinas for the American market.Pretty much the same specs and price point.http://www.daiwa.com/reel/detail.aspx?id=683

"(17 August 2013) Daiwa ISLA is internally identical to the Catalina. The ISLA hasn't gone on sale yet but I located a show sample and stripped it to verify. I usually speak about production reels only, but I had to respond to the high volume of enquires. There is a possibility that Daiwa might change something on the actual production reels, but at this stage the chances for this are pretty small. "http://www.alanhawk.com/reviews/news.html
