Quick take
A compact conventional reel with a line counter and 10 kg drag for saltwater bottom fishing and light jigging.
This Daiwa Saltiga IC 300H-SJ is an offshore baitcasting reel with a built-in line counter, so you can read how much line is out as you work a jig or bait. A 7.3:1 gear ratio brings in 98 cm of line per handle turn, and the drag tops out at 10 kg. It weighs about 405 g, holds braided line and has the handle on the right.
Best for
- Offshore light jigging and vertical presentations
- Saltwater bottom fishing where depth control is important
- Anglers who want a conventional reel lighter than round baitcasters
Skip if
- You need extreme power; this 10 kg drag is light for big game
- You fish shallow; the line counter is valuable mainly in deep water
Strengths
- Line counter tracks depth precisely when jigging or vertical fishing
- 14.1 oz weight and compact size suit smaller boat and kayak rigs
- 11 bearings with 7.3:1 ratio provide smooth power
Trade-offs
- 10 kg drag is modest for large saltwater species or strong current
- Compact design limits line capacity compared to full-size round reels
