Technology Features of DAIWA 2021 Ginro LBQD
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.
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.
