ABS® II | Anti-Backlash-System

The super system that allows long casts and prevents line twist reliably. DAIWA reels with ABS have spools, which are constructed in such way that they have a spool guide of a very large diameter which is getting bigger towards the spool's top.  Like this the line unwinds in big loops and very evenly from the spool and thus prevents the twisting of the line.

Thanks to this system also longer casts are possible.

ATD® | Drag System

ATD (Automatic Tournament Drag) stands for the further development of the UTD drag.

The ATD drag is excelled by an even more delicate drag transition and as a consequence thereof is perfectly suited for the use of braided lines.

Contrasting to the UTD drag, at the ATD already at the beginning of a strike the drag starts smoothly, then increases to its pre-set drag rating in a fraction of a second, thus eliminating line breakage at the strike.

CrossWrap® | Line Winding

Wraps the line precisely on the spool and reduces the threat of backlashes at the cast. The casting distance is markedly increased.

TOUGH DIGIGEAR® | Gear

Machined, digitally developed gearing for maximum performance and endurance. Embeded in our lightweight reel body, it transmits smoothly and efficiently the power of the handle directly to the rotor. Like this you can concentrate on fishing completely.

Our DAIWA engineers completely perfected the technology of milled gears with the Digigear II and newest with the Tough Digigear (TDG). The shape and surface of the gear teeth enable the construction of gears with extraordinary smooth running, smallest resistance and extremely long lifespan.

Result – A real evolution for the strength of the Digigear!

INFINITE® ANTI-REVERSE

A weak part of many reels – the most reliable part of a DAIWA reel. Only high-quality parts made of steel with smallest tolerances are used.

MONOCOQUE® | Body

Light and strong like a Formula 1 racing car. Lighter and stronger through Monocoque Body technology.

Since the first spinning reels it was common sense that the body is made up of two parts: The reel body and the body lid. With its introduction 2016 the Monocoque body design simply crushed this long-standing paradigm. At the Monocoque design, the reel body serves as a stiff and distortion-proof frame, which is handy and compact at the same time.

Thus the body lid has no longer to be secured with a screw and the resulting free space can be used for a larger driving wheel. By this design, the reel body can house a driving wheel, which diameter is about 85% of the body surface. To put it simple: This design allows the use of larger and thus stronger driving wheels at the same body size.

TWISTBUSTER® II | Line Roller

DAIWA´s original advanced technology designed to reduce line twist during retrieving. An essential reason for line twist has been eliminated with this smart idea.

The newest Twist Buster II line roller not only minimises line twist, but also reduces further friction between the line and the roller.
