Daiwa fishing reels offer quality and innovation
Daiwa is one of the world's foremost manufacturers of angling equipment, offering an extensive range of rods, reels and other accessories for the modern fisherman.
The company's slogan is "committed to total quality", which has helped it to establish a worldwide reputation for high standards across the entire Daiwa range.
Daiwa fishing reels are no exception, as the firm launched its first spinning reel in the 1950s and continues to bring successful new tackle products to the market each year.
Popular outfits offered by Daiwa include fixed-spool reels such as the Crossfire X, which uses an ABS system with five ball bearings.
The Zinc alloy Digigear feature gives this reel additional power, which may come as a surprise to some anglers due to its compact appearance.
Fishermen looking for a slightly more robust product may choose the Emcast Sport, a powerful all-round option perfect for saltwater fishing.
This muscular model is available in two sizes and uses seven ball bearings with an anodized ABS aluminium spool, as well as Castlock and Twist Buster features.
Other Daiwa fishing reelsin the fixed spool category include the Sweepfire X and the RSI 4000i, which features a 50th anniversary logo.
The manufacturer also offers a wide range of multiplier reels. Usually more expensive than standard spinning reels, this type of reel employs gearing between the handle and spool to give anglers a faster retrieve and more control.
Popular examples of a Daiwa multiplier reel include the Millionaire 7HT, which was specifically designed for tournament fishing and has become something of a benchmark product among discerning anglers.
Further up the range, the Millionaire 7HT Turbo offers a similar profile to the original model, but with the addition of a free-floating spool system.
This allows the pinion gear to ride on a separate shaft, thereby avoiding gear friction and creating an extended level of rotation.
Daiwa claimed to have developed the fastest spinning reel on the market when it launched its Zillion range and the company is known for the pursuit of innovation alongside quality.
One of the company's latest tackle products is the Windcast range of reels, in which features such as AirBail, Digigear and Castlock come as standard with each model.
These Daiwa fishing reelsare designed for distance casting with high-speed line release.
Two of the new Windcast reels, the X and Y models, offer a quick drag function. This allows anglers to switch between using 'free spool' and the drag engaged with just one simple movement.
