Poised to dominate in any variety of saltwater environments, the Daiwa Saltist MQ Spinning Reels utilize some of Daiwa's most advanced design features to provide ultimately dependable power and performance. Built around a heavy duty aluminum frame for maximum durability, the Saltist MQ implements Daiwa's Monocoque Body (MQ) design for even more power in a more compact frame. A feature brought down from Daiwa's flagship level of spinning reels, Monocoque Body refers to the use of a one-piece frame and reel body. A single piece body allows for exceptional strength and rigidity, improved water resistance with the absence of screws, and significant weight reduction. Perhaps best of all, the MQ frame design provides better spatial efficiency and allows for a larger gear to fit inside of the reel, adding power and longevity to the gear set. Anglers can expect the same effortless rotation and fluid operation they are used to from Daiwa reels, in part thanks to the ultra-lightweight Zaion Air Rotor perfect for all day casting and retrieving. With a Magsealed main shaft for exceptional durability, the Saltist MQ can take a splash without skipping a beat, making it a great option for use from either the beach or the boat. The Saltist MQ is available in a full range of sizes to fit any application, meaning anglers can select the ideal reel to battle any fish whether its from the surf, along the coast, or out in the deep.

Features:

  • Monocoque (MQ) Aluminum Body
  • Zaion Air Rotor
  • Air Bail
  • Magsealed Main Shaft
  • Tough DigiGear
  • Waterproof Advanced Tournament Drag (ATD)
  • Aluminum Round Handle Knob

Best reel I ever bought

This reel is so light and smooth and plenty of power

Super Smooth
June 30, 2022
Purchased two of these in a 4000 and 6000, and I have to say these reels are incredibly smooth casting and reeling. I use the 4000 for closer inshore fishing for trout and redfish, and the 6000 for throwing spoons and plugs off of piers and the surf. Overall great reels!
Pros
  • Plenty of strength in the reel with smooth casting, with enough capacity for line.
Cons
  • drag knob feels cheap and clicking when the drag goes off isnt as loud as I would want it to be.

Favorite new reel
April 18, 2022
Paired the 5000 with 300yrds of 20lb braid on an Okuma Rockaway 12’ 1-4oz rod and this is now my favorite pompano setup. Great reel for the price and I have a 5000 Certate to compare it too. I would choose the Saltist for an all round reel. Can easily handle pomps to bull reds.

as good as saltist and now lighter
March 31, 2022
this is a big upgrade. the saltist is a really good reel, but it is heavy. the mq solves that issue and build on an already strong platform. very smooth retrieve with tons of torque. the only downside is that the handle knob is too smooth and i find myself slipping off of it even with gloves on when they are wet
Pros
  • strong gears. smooth retrieve. great reel
Cons
  • handle knob is too smooth and slippery

Strong little beast
March 28, 2022
Super strong and light. Great all around reel. I mainly use it for striped bass but also bring it when I travel. In a world of boring reels, this one looks pretty cool.
Pros
  • Bang for buck. Strong. Great drag. Great handle.
Cons
  • None

Great Reel Saltist MQ 6000D
February 25, 2022
Great reel very smooth and light. Very fast shipping and reliable from tackle direct. Wanted this reel for a few months but it was out of stock, finally it came back in stock very happy to own one. Get it when you still can before its all gone. Will test the reel out very soon. Probably will get another one =).
Pros
  • very smooth and light easy to use. Looks good I like the color blue and ball handle feels great.
Cons
  • So far nothing

great reel
December 24, 2021
I love this reel, it is not necessarily the best at anything, but it is very good at everything. It's powerful enough to horse a medium sized tarpon, but also small enough that you can still fish for smaller inshore fish as well. very durable and holds up great to the elements.

Surf side , TX
Super smoothe , light , and strong
October 8, 2021
2 trips out at the surfside jetty and has performed spectacularly with speckled trout and a few reds including a new pb 37” Bull red. The drag is super strong and made quick work on that bull. The reel performs similar to my shimano twinpower but a bit cheaper on price. The ball handle is a nice touch and works well for spooning. Up close the special composite material on the rotor and monoque looks like cheap plastic similar to the bg line up. Could have made that part look higher end with some nice paint like shimano does . Overall excellent reel for now until it need servicing a few years from now .
Pros
  • Strong drag. Light , silky smoothe
Cons
  • Cheap plastic feel on monoque body and rotor although it?s special composite .

Daiwa for the win!
September 28, 2021
Daiwa this year has left me in awe with the quality of product the produce. I tried the Saltist MQ for a few weeks and it’s my favorite saltwater reel currently. I tested it at the Outer Banks, Murrells Inlets, Frying Pan Tower and much more places here in NC. I had the previous version of the Saltist and it still fights like a champ!

Looking for a surf/riverbank rod to pair with this reel. Suggestions appreciated.

Hello Johnny, 

The Temple Fork Outfitters Tactical Surf spinning rod in the 9ft model would pair up well with the Daiwa saltist mq 5000
