Technology Features of DAIWA 2024 Impult Kyogi LBD
MONOCOQUE BODY (ZAION)
The MONOCOQUE BODY in DAIWA reels refers to a single-piece body structure. Traditional spinning reels covered the drive gear with a body and body cover, secured by several screws, which posed strength issues. The MONOCOQUE BODY eliminates the body cover, directly setting a high-precision plate into the body. This change supports the body with the entire plate surface instead of just screw points, significantly enhancing precision, rigidity, and sealing. Also, because the fixed part of the screw that occupied space inside the body has been removed, It allows for larger drive gears, providing more powerful retrieves and smoother fights with big fish.
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.
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.
TOUGH DIGIGEAR (Super Duralumin)
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.
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.
