MAGSEALED

DAIWA's MAGSEALED technology is designed to prevent water, salt, and debris from entering the reel, using magnetic fluid to form a barrier that protects critical components like bearings, line rollers, and gears from saltwater. DAIWA adapted magnetic fluid technology initially developed by NASA for dust protection in hard drives used in space. Unlike traditional rubber seals that increase handle rotation friction, the magnetic fluid is held in place by a magnetic field, reducing friction and enabling smooth operation. This technology enhances the reel's durability and performance, significantly improving reliability in harsh fishing environments without requiring meticulous maintenance.

AIR ROTOR

AIR ROTOR is designed to achieve the ideal spherical shape for a rotating body. Through high-precision rigidity analysis, it maintains the same level of rigidity as traditional rotors while achieving significant weight reduction and lower inertia. The reduction in inertia allows anglers to stop and wind the reel at will, providing excellent responsiveness and a lighter, smoother winding experience.

ZAION

ZAION is a top-tier carbon material created by DAIWA using proprietary technology to mold a special resin densely woven with carbon fibers, a process that is extremely difficult to achieve. It combines exceptional lightness and strength, making it the pinnacle of DAIWA's carbon materials. This superior performance is a privilege reserved only for the highest-end models.

ATD

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.

ABS II

ABS II features a spool structure that allows lines to be released smoothly, increasing casting distance while minimizing issues like backlash. By increasing the spool diameter and incorporating a reverse taper design, ABS reduces line trouble. The ABS II further enhances long-casting performance by refining the shape of the spool ring.

CROSS WRAP

CROSS WRAP uses an angled cross-wrapping method that prevents lines from cutting into and slipping on the spool. This technique is particularly effective in reducing line troubles, especially when using thin or PE lines, while also ensuring a smoother and more enjoyable casting experience.

AIR BAIL

The AIR BAIL utilizes a hollow pipe structure to achieve both lightness and rigidity. Additionally, the line slider features a unique shape that smoothly guides the line to the line roller, ensuring trouble-free retrieval.

TWIST BUSTER Ⅱ

TWIST BUSTER Ⅱ reduces line twist caused by rotor rotation by tapering the line roller and rolling the line in the opposite direction on the roller. This innovation significantly alleviates the line twist that was once considered an unavoidable issue in spinning reels.
