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.
BITURBO BRAKE SYSTEM
By using high-friction titanium material for the brake discs, the BITURBO BRAKE SYSTEM achieves double the braking efficiency compared to previous models, delivering powerful stopping force. The brake response time to reach the necessary braking force is also reduced to one-quarter of the usual, allowing strong braking power to be exerted with minimal effort.
ATD TOUGH
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.
ATD TOUGH utilizes carbon washers to achieve superior durability. By optimizing smoothness and responsiveness, it allows anglers to focus on the fight without worrying about drag settings.
TOUGH DIGIGEAR (Aluminum)
DAIWA’s DIGIGEAR is a gear system realized through a manufacturing technique that accurately shapes the form derived from numerical analysis of power transmission efficiency by computer. Instead of casting, the gears are processed using forging, which provides higher strength, and then the gear teeth surfaces are smoothed through ultra-precision machine cutting, allowing for efficient power transmission. TOUGH DIGIGEAR enhances this by increasing the surface area of the gear teeth and the radius of the gear, further improving durability and strength, resulting in a smoother winding experience.
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.
LC-ABS
The LC-ABS spool features a two-step design on the front edge to enhance line release performance and streamline the flow. While maintaining the trouble-free usage of the previous ABS spool, it achieves an approximate 5% increase in casting distance combined with a reduction in spool weight.
QUICK ON OFF LB SYSTEM
The QUICK ON OFF LB SYSTEM allows instant control of line release and stopper ON/OFF functions with a single lever. By simply pulling the lever with your fingertip, you switch it OFF, and by pushing it, you switch it ON, enabling quick and seamless operation.
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.
