Daiwa Technology

  • AIR ROTOR
    A uniquely arched design that distributes load evenly, reducing weight while maintaining strength. Improved rotor balance results in a lighter, more responsive rotation.

  • DIGIGEAR / DIGIGEAR II
    A digitally optimized drive gear system that enhances strength and provides ultra-smooth rotation, achieving ideal reel performance.

  • CROSS WRAP
    A twill winding method with a large winding angle prevents line issues such as tangling in the spool or slipping out of place. Particularly effective for thin threads and PE lines, ensuring smooth, trouble-free casts.

  • TWIST BUSTER II
    A tapered line roller that counteracts twisting caused by rotor movement, significantly reducing line twist—a common issue with spinning reels.
