Technology Features of DAIWA SEABORG
JOG POWER LEVER
By relocating the power lever to the center of the reel body and changing its shape from a lever to a dial style, the JOG POWER LEVER allows the angler to control winding and clutch on/off operations with just the thumb of the hand holding the rod. This frees the other hand from lever operation entirely. The ergonomic design naturally places the thumb on the top of the reel body when holding the rod, making it a comfortable and effortless operation. JOG POWER LEVER enables precise, one-thumb control.
ATD (Automatic Drag)
DAIWA’'s ATD (Automatic Drag) technology is an innovative system designed to address the issues found in traditional drag systems. Previously, the main problem was the lack of smoothness when the drag first engaged. ATD ensures a smooth initial drag, releasing lines with consistent tension under strong pressure, and offering gradual resistance under lighter pressure. This adaptability reduces the need for frequent adjustments of drag force and also improves hooking rates. Enhanced drag washers maintain drag strength during long fights, giving anglers an advantage against large fish. ATD provides a stress-free and efficient fishing experience.
MAGSEALED BALL BEARING
Following the revolutionary waterproof and durability technologies applied to the reel body and line roller, DAIWA has extended these advancements to a crucial small component that significantly impacts reel rotation: the ball bearing. Through proprietary technology, DAIWA has become the first in the world to successfully apply MAGSEALED technology directly to the ball bearing itself. By creating a barrier of magnetic fluid, the intrusion of water and foreign particles into the ball bearing is prevented, maintaining its original smooth and light performance. This innovation eliminates the need for traditional seals or packing, significantly reducing rust, salt damage, and unwanted noise. As a result, the waterproofing and durability of the reel are dramatically enhanced, allowing it to retain its initial performance for a longer period.
