HYPERDRIVE DESIGN

In 2021, DAIWA’s new baitcasting reels underwent a significant evolution, marking a new era of innovation. The term that embodies this transformation is "HYPERDRIVE DESIGN." This new design philosophy aims to elevate all basic performance levels, ensuring they remain consistently high over time. At its core is the HYPERDRIVE DIGIGEAR, which includes both the drive and pinion gears. Supporting this are three additional key components: HYPER DOUBLE SUPPORT (pinion gear support system), HYPER ARMED HOUSING (reel body), and HYPER TOUGH CLUTCH. These four critical elements, refined with DAIWA's cutting-edge technology and new innovations, collectively deliver exceptional drive performance. A model featuring HYPERDRIVE DIGIGEAR and enhanced rotational performance falls under the HYPERDRIVE DESIGN category. 

HYPERDRIVE DIGIGEAR

HYPERDRIVE DIGIGEAR is a newly designed gear system for baitcasting and conventional reels, engineered to maintain strong and smooth rotation over time. DAIWA’s unique technology avoids reducing the module size of the gear teeth, which is crucial for durability. Instead, it enhances meshing efficiency by shaping the gear teeth with a bullet-shaped silhouette that optimizes the pressure angle. This design ensures the initial smoothness of the reel lasts longer, achieving an exceptional balance between smooth rotation and rotational durability. Compared to previous DAIWA gears, the noise felt during handle rotation, such as roughness, has been significantly reduced by over 50% in the HYPERDRIVE DIGIGEAR.

HYPER DOUBLE SUPPORT

The HYPER DOUBLE SUPPORT system is a pinion gear support mechanism that enhances smoothness, power, and lightness in the reel’s operation. By precisely supporting both ends of the pinion gear with two ball bearings, it ensures that the power input from the handle is transmitted without loss, allowing for powerful and light winding even under load. The pinion gear, a crucial component on par with the drive gear in baitcasting reels, has also undergone significant evolution. Like the drive gear, the pinion gear’s tooth surface has been updated with new specifications, and the use of special materials has greatly reduced issues such as corrosion, seizing, and damage, thereby significantly contributing to the gear's durability.

HYPER ARMED HOUSING

The HYPER ARMED HOUSING is a body system designed to provide high rigidity and precision, supporting the internal structure of the reel to deliver smooth winding and power. A key requirement is the use of metal materials for the frame, which, when combined with side plates and set plates, ensures that the reel's fundamental performance is maintained over an extended period.

HYPER TOUGH CLUTCH

The HYPER TOUGH CLUTCH system delivers precise on/off performance, maintaining its reliability through thousands of cycles. It is designed to be highly durable, even in saltwater environments with high salt concentrations. Featuring an advanced insulation structure, this system has achieved a 99% reduction in sticking-related repairs compared to DAIWA's previous clutch systems, showcasing its exceptional performance in harsh conditions.

ULTIMATE CASTING LINE GUIDE(T-Wing System)

Traditional level wind systems were designed, as their name suggests, to lay the line evenly across the spool. However, during casting, they often created resistance, leading manufacturers to experiment with different internal diameters and shapes to enhance line release. But these efforts had their limits. Excessive enlargement of the level wind compromised its original function, restricting advancements to minimal adjustments, such as refining the internal diameter. Some solutions included increasing the distance between the spool and the level wind or narrowing the spool width to prevent the line from hitting the level wind at sharp angles. While partially effective, these methods were essentially temporary fixes that led to side effects such as elongating the reel body, reducing palming comfort, or decreasing line capacity.

DAIWA's TWS (T-Wing System) addresses these contradictions not with compromise but with innovation, achieving both precise line winding and an expanded resistance-free range during line release. By significantly widening the resistance-free zone where the line makes contact with the level wind, particularly right after it leaves the spool, TWS has dramatically enhanced the long-casting performance of DAIWA baitcasting reels. Simultaneously, the smooth line flow facilitated by TWS has proven effective in preventing backlashes.

LC (Long Cast) CONCEPT

The LC concept excels in long-distance casting, providing extended flight during the latter half of the cast. It is particularly well-suited for medium to heavy lures, with casting distance increasing as you snap the rod sharply. The LC concept also offers a sporty and exhilarating casting feel, making it highly appealing to anglers.

MAGFORCE-Z

This braking system features an induct rotor that smoothly slides in response to spool rotation speed through centrifugal force. It applies braking only during the initial phase of the cast, where backlash is most likely to occur, and reduces braking power towards the latter part of the cast, allowing for greater casting distance.

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.
