Daiwa 26 Certate SW – Power Drive Technology for Offshore Big Game

The Daiwa 26 Certate SW spinning reel is engineered for offshore big game fishing, continuing the legacy of the renowned Certate series. Built to target large marine predators, it combines a full metal monocoque body, reinforced transmission system, and advanced sealing technologies for maximum reliability under extreme loads.

Full Metal Monocoque Body

The high-rigidity aluminum MQ body minimizes flex and power loss, protecting the gear system and ensuring consistent precision during heavy fights.

Power Drive Design

At the core of the reel lies the Power Drive Design, derived from the Saltiga concept, structured into two main units:

Power Drive Engine (Body Unit)

Oversized Power DigiGear: large-diameter, high-strength gears delivering increased torque and durability.

Roller Power Oscillation: low-friction oscillation system improving smoothness and line lay consistency.

Power Drive Rotor (Rotor Unit)
Constructed in Zaion, the rotor is stiffer and more responsive than previous generations while maintaining controlled inertia. This ensures lightweight, fluid retrieve—ideal for single jerk actions, plug fishing, and technical lure presentations.

Line Management & Casting Performance

Crank Power Bail and Tough Line Roller System provide precise line guidance and seamless transition between casting and retrieve.

The LC-ABS SW spool with dual-step design reduces line friction, enhances late-stage casting performance, and increases overall casting distance.

Sealing & Durability

An improved handle gasket enhances water resistance, while Magsealed technology on the pinion gear and line roller ensures protection against saltwater intrusion even in extreme marine environments.

The 26 Certate SW integrates the most advanced Certate technologies into a powerful, smooth, and reliable spinning reel—designed to push limits and maintain absolute control when battling trophy fish.

The new Daiw Saltiga (G) 35 size expands Daiwa's prestigious Jigging Baitcasting series, and is specifically conceived to tackle the largest marine predators and the most challenging fishing conditions. This reel combines exceptional retrieval power with extraordinary durability thanks to the implementation of the exclusive HYPERDRIVE DESIGN technology.

The mechanical heart is built for maximum longevity and smoothness, integrating all key components of the HYPERDRIVE system:

HYPERDRIVE DIGIGEAR: Durable gears with optimized tooth profile for lasting power and smoothness.
HYPER DOUBLE SUPPORT: Double bearing support on the pinion for powerful and efficient retrieval.
HYPER ARMED HOUSING (FULL AL): Body made from CNC-machined aluminum for extreme rigidity and solidity under stress.
HYPER TOUGH CLUTCH: Ultra-reliable clutch/engagement system, resistant to corrosion in high-salinity marine environments.

The UTD (Ultimate Tournament Drag) system has been upgraded, achieving a maximum drag power of 13 kg (28.6 lbs), perfectly calibrated for real-world fishing use with large species. The large-diameter spool (65 mm) is ideal for deep-sea fishing targeting species like groupers, amberjacks, tuna, snappers, and other tropical predators, while offering significant line capacity.

Reliability in the saltwater environment is reinforced by the MAGSEALED Ball Bearing, sealed with magnetic fluid against water and impurities, and the Anode Protection treatment against galvanic corrosion. Comfort during long sessions is ensured by the 100-110 mm aluminum handle with a 105 mm Power T-shape knob and the ergonomic Thumb holding frame design.

A safety feature is the Spool Lock System, which allows the spool to be locked for cutting the line in case of a snag, preventing damage to the internal gearing or bearings.

Daiwa 25 Saltiga 300 reel is the new benchmark for coastal (shore) and vertical jigging, engineered to deliver uncompromising power, reliability, and smoothness. This reel is built entirely with Daiwa's innovative HYPERDRIVE DESIGN technologies, ensuring performance remains pristine even under extreme loads and providing superior wear resistance.

Structural integrity is guaranteed by the HYPER ARMED HOUSING (Full Metal), a body entirely made from machined aluminum, which remains rigid and stable even under intense stress. Internally, the HYPERDRIVE DIGIGEAR (with enlarged gearing) ensures exceptional retrieval power combined with superior smoothness and durability. The HYPER DOUBLE SUPPORT on the pinion further contributes to a powerful yet light retrieve.

Reliability in the marine environment is maximized by anti-corrosion protection and waterproofing systems:

MAGSEALED Ball Bearing: Bearings protected by magnetic technology that prevents water and sand infiltration.
HYPER TOUGH CLUTCH: Ultra-reliable clutch/engagement system, resistant to corrosion and designed to function in extreme conditions.
Anode Protection: Replaceable anode plate that protects the reel body from galvanic corrosion in a saltwater environment.

The ATD (Automatic Tournament Drag) ensures a smooth and progressive release of the line. The ergonomics have been redesigned with the Thumb Holding Frame, a dedicated thumb rest that enhances comfort and control during long jigging sessions. The aluminum handle (75–85 mm) with a T-Shaped Power Knob is designed to reduce fatigue during jerking and slow jigging. Additional features like the Synchro Levelwind (synchronized line guide) and the Spool Lock System (bobbin lock for safely cutting the line when snagged) further elevate the performance of this Made in Japan reel.

The new Daiwa 21 Saltiga Casting spinning rods are rods dedicated to heavy spinning fishing, with strength and casting performance at the top of the category and designed to face the most fearsome and strong marine predators, both from shore and from the boat. The blank is made up of powerful HVF carbon blanks treated with Nanoplus resin and coated with a special layer of carbon that makes them even more robust and reduces twisting: the X45 full Shield. This new technology allows blankets to be enormously stiffer and more resistant than the traditional X45. The energy transfer along the blank is 25% more efficient, giving greater structural rigidity and resistance to torsion. The new Saltiga Casting adopts the brand new V-Joint Alpha joints: this further evolution of the famous V-Joint is built using Nanoplus resin which makes the joint even more precise and adherent, with a more harmonious action and almost zero power dispersion.
