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.

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.

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.

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!

HardBodyZ® | Concept

We have the perfect metal alloy, we have a more precise processing and we have the knowledge for building precise, durable and very lightweight metal reels.

We call this technology the HardBodyZ Concept.

These reels have a technological advantage and they are not - compared to other synthetic reels - more expensive and in comparison to our traditional reels they have an economic price!

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.

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.
