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 ot the Digigear!

ZAION V® | Body & Rotor

With the Zaion V material, the Japanese DAIWA engineers succeeded in developing a combination of materials, which can be used more conveniently in processing and producing reels compared to the previously existing Zaion material. Thus it also can be used in more economic reel series.

Due to the high amount of carbon fiber and a new composite material the Zaion V is significantly lighter and more distortion proof than common DS5 material.

AIR ROTOR® | Rotor Type

Especially for our reels with MagSealed oil barrier mechanism we have developed the Air Rotor.

So the enormous strains, which affect the rotor via the line and the line roller are better distributed. This causes less pressure on the single parts of the rotor.

The rotor is 15% more light weighted than usual rotors of the same material - this reduces vibrations and enhances the rotational balance thanks to a very low centre of gravity.

Under the same strain, a conventional rotor is much more distorted than a Air Rotor, since here the strain is scattered over the whole rotor and not not concentrated to one point.

Slow CrossWrap® | Line Winding

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.
