This design incorporates a one-piece frame and a one-piece threaded side plate. Because screws are not necessary to attach the side plate and hold the main gear, the interior space in the body is greater allowing for a larger more powerful gear held in place by the lighter, sturdier body rather than the traditional side plate.

Shielded for extra protection. Unlike ordinary "corrosion resistant" bearings with un unprotected open race, DAIWA's CRBB ball bearings are shielded to seal out sand, fine grit, salt crystals and other abrasives for even longer life. CRBB ball bearings feature an 12 times higher corrosion resistance than usual ball bearings.

DAIWA's unique waterproof structure creates a wall of magnetic oil in the gap between the body and rotor, blocking out seawater, dust, and other elements.

The progenitor of these construction technologies, developed by Daiwa to obtain structures with performances similar to those of metals, at a lower cost because they do not require anti-corrosion treatments. The characteristics of this material are simply stunning: for the same volume it weighs 50% of aluminum and its structural rigidity approaches that of magnesium.

Gears are the real beating heart of a reel: the transfer of power and the performance of the recovery action depend on them. For this reason Daiwa has invested great energy in the design and development of new gears that are even more effective, efficient and long lasting: the Tough Digigear. Developed starting from the famous Daiwa Digigear, they equip all the best reels of the latest generation: increased in size and improved in materials, they guarantee superior mechanical performance, greater reliability and durability.

Compared to conventional spools, the LC-ABS Spool design has been shown to increase the average flight distance by approx. 5% due to its reduced weight and modified shape. LC-ABS Spool design grants anglers a premium casting experience.

A new shape of line stopper that is compatible with thin lines such as PE and thick lines such as leaders. The horizontal shape saves vertical space and contributes to reducing the weight of the spool.

The body structure has been simplified by removing the stopper. The decision to remove the stopper, which is a route for water and foreign objects to enter, not only reduces weight and improves waterproof performance, but also minimizes the risk of sudden trouble when fishing in harsh environments or with large fish.
