Quick take

A large-capacity 18000-size saltwater spinning reel with 30 kg max drag, 5.8:1 ratio and braided line capacity for shore and offshore jigging.

This Daiwa 21 Celtate SW is a size 18000 saltwater spinning reel, the largest in its line, aimed at shore casting and offshore jigging. It has a 5.8:1 gear ratio, takes up about 131 cm of line per handle turn and weighs 850 g. Eight ball bearings plus one roller bearing and a 30 kg maximum drag setting suit anglers fishing heavy braided line for big saltwater fish.

  • Offshore jigging with braided line
  • Anglers targeting stripers, tuna and large pelagics

Skip if

  • You fish freshwater or light saltwater
  • You need a compact reel

Strengths

  • High 30 kg max drag handles large fish and heavy jigging
  • Large 18000 spool holds substantial braided line for distance casting
  • EVA handle and ergonomic grip reduce hand fatigue during all-day jigging

Trade-offs

  • Size and weight make this reel unsuitable for lightweight outfits
  • Large spool capacity means significant weight to cast all day
  • 5.8:1 ratio provides less line speed than high-speed alternatives
