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.

CLICK-SYSTEM | Star Drag

There is hardly any better sound than the delicate and precise click sound of a turning spool, when a fish takes line during the fight with the fish. The DAIWA system represents the perfect solution and is designed in a way, which doesn't impair the casting performance.

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!

MAGFORCE® Z | Casting Control System

Highly precise casting control system, which prevents tanglings. It controls the centrifugal force of the spool during the first half of the cast, when the threat of tanglings is very high. Afterwards it reduces the resistance automatically and therefore enables longer casts, since less drag pressure is exerted at the spool.

SV CONCEPT | Spool

SV spool is made of Super Duralumin which is lighter but has great strength. SV spool with Air Brake System helps cast lightweight lures with ease to give you a longer cast with no backlash.

TWS® | Line Guide

The TWS T-Wing System solves an age old problem with level wind systems. The normal change of angle of from spool to line guide retards line release and slows the casting momentum of the lure.

With TWS, when engaged for casting, the line guide drops to expose the "T" aperture of T-Wing. This allows line to flow freely through the wide top section on outcast, reducing the normally sharp angles and resulting friction that slow line flowing through a standard narrow aperture.

For retrieve, the line guide, now in the original position, controls the line drops via the narrow, lower channel of the T-Wing. This delivers even distribution across the spool width.
