Daiwa LD55JP Saltiga Lever Drag Conventional Reel
The Daiwa SALTIGA LD55JP is a high-performance reel designed for offshore and nearshore jigging, featuring a lightweight and strong aluminum construction.
This reel incorporates Daiwa’s Automatic Tournament Drag (ATD), which utilizes a low-viscosity drag grease for reduced initial drag start-up inertia. This, combined with structural changes, ensures a smoother drag from the initial hook up.
Designed with jigging in mind, the LD55JP stands out with its distinctive tall and narrow profile. This design allows for an upsized spool with massive line capacity for extensive jigging, while the narrowness reduces line piling on the spool.
Equipped with a machined aluminum handle for ergonomic use and Daiwa’s Digigear and Free Float technology.

FAQ
What makes the LD55JP suitable for jigging?
The LD55JP features a tall and narrow spool design that provides large line capacity while minimizing line piling. Its Automatic Tournament Drag system ensures smooth drag performance from the first hook-up, ideal for consistent jigging operations.
Is the drag system easy to maintain?
The ATD system uses low-viscosity drag grease, which reduces initial drag inertia and ensures smooth operation. Regular cleaning and lubrication are recommended for optimal performance.
What type of fishing is best suited for this reel?
This reel is specifically designed for offshore and nearshore jigging applications where consistent drag performance and large line capacity are essential.

The LD55JP has proven reliable during long jigging sessions. The narrow spool keeps line from piling, and the drag system responds smoothly even under heavy pressure. Lightweight and easy to handle on the boat.
Dorothy Bailey –
Great for offshore jigging. The aluminum construction feels solid, and the drag system performs well without sticking. A bit heavy for short trips, but worth it for serious jigging.
Adam Bailey –
I’ve used this reel in both nearshore and offshore conditions. The tall spool holds more line, and the ATD drag starts up smoothly. The handle is comfortable after long hours of use.
