Key Technologies & Construction
🔹 LT (Light & Tough) Concept
A design philosophy that maximizes strength while minimizing weight for easier long-day fishing.
Results in a compact, powerful reel frame that feels balanced on a rod.
🔹 Monocoque (MQ) Body
One-piece body made from Zaion-V carbon composite, offering rigidity with low weight and excellent corrosion resistance.
Enhances structural stability and protects internal gearing.
🔹 AIRDRIVE Design
Daiwa’s advanced rotor, bail, and spool system built to reduce resistance and start-up inertia — so casting and retrieving feel smoother and more effortless.
Improves balance and overall reel responsiveness.
🔹 Magsealed Technology
Magnetic oil seals around the main shaft block water, salt, and debris — especially helpful for saltwater and rough conditions.
Keeps internals running smooth longer.
🔹 Tough DigiGear
Precision-machined gears that deliver smooth, powerful retrieves with strong conversion of handle rotation to drag pulling power.
🔹 ATD Drag System
Automatic Tournament Drag gives smooth, consistent resistance under load — reducing sudden spikes and helping protect line during fast runs.
