Technology Features of DAIWA 2019 Tournament Surf 45 06PE
TOUGH DIGIGEAR (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.
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.
MAGSEALED LINE ROLLER
The line roller directly encounters water and sand carried by the line, making its waterproofing crucial for maintaining initial performance such as rotational feel and sensitivity. The MAGSEALED LINE ROLLER significantly reduces the ingress of salt and foreign particles. Additionally, improved rotation enhances the effectiveness of reducing line twist.
MAGSEALED BALL BEARING
Following the revolutionary waterproof and durability technologies applied to the reel body and line roller, DAIWA has extended these advancements to a crucial small component that significantly impacts reel rotation: the ball bearing. Through proprietary technology, DAIWA has become the first in the world to successfully apply MAGSEALED technology directly to the ball bearing itself. By creating a barrier of magnetic fluid, the intrusion of water and foreign particles into the ball bearing is prevented, maintaining its original smooth and light performance. This innovation eliminates the need for traditional seals or packing, significantly reducing rust, salt damage, and unwanted noise. As a result, the waterproofing and durability of the reel are dramatically enhanced, allowing it to retain its initial performance for a longer period.
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.
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.
