daiwa 22 exist lt

The Daiwa 26 Tournament Basia 45 SCW QD represents the absolute pinnacle of Big Pit reel engineering tailored for long-range carp fishing. Fully manufactured in Japan, this model introduces a radical geometric upgrade centered around a redesigned 45 mm spool, boasting a 10% increase in diameter paired with an ultra-shallow 2° taper. This state-of-the-art profile dramatically minimizes line friction upon release, turning your casting power into pure distance while securing an impressive retrieval rate of 115 cm of line per handle turn.

To accommodate the enlarged spool, Daiwa engineered its largest-ever big pit component: the Zaion Airdrive Rotor. Utilizing Daiwa's proprietary high-density carbon composite, this structure delivers metal-like rigidity while capping the reel's total weight at a mere 535 grams. Winding inertia is virtually non-existent, resulting in a flawless, vibration-free rotation even when retrieving heavy leads or large baiting devices from extreme ranges.

Key Technical Achievements

• Zaion Total Body Construction: High-tensile carbon composite body and rotor maximizing structural integrity while dropping dead weight.

• Slow Cross Wrap (SCW) System: Slow-oscillating cross-wrap line lay that stacks the mainline perfectly on the spool core, preventing bedding-in and increasing casting distance.

• Airdrive Bail & Magsealed Shielding: Rigid, hollow one-piece bail arm that slashes weight, fully sealed by Magsealed magnetic oil technology to prevent water, salt, and grime intrusion into the inner gear box.

• 15kg Quick Drag (QD): Heavy-duty, ultra-fast drag system that transitions from a free-spool setting to solid fighting pressure with a fraction of a turn.

• Tough Digigear System: CNC-machined internal gearing optimized for silent running, effortless power transmission, and extreme longevity under heavy pressure.

Field Advice & Functional Details

• Long-Range Specialists: This reel achieves optimal synergy when paired with 12ft or 13ft premium distance rods featuring 50mm butt guides. It is the ultimate asset for anglers regularly hitting spots past the 130-yard mark or managing heavy spodding duties.

• On-the-Bank Utility: The oversized anti-reverse lever allows for quick back-reeling adjustments when placing rigs via boat or kayak, while the HIP (High Impact Protection) line clip safeguards your mainline during repeated, high-velocity casting. Includes a high-capacity aluminum spare spool (530m of 0.35mm line).

The new Daiwa 25 Caldia LT evolves the characteristics that made it iconic, offering greater lightness, superior construction quality and an elegant design.

The new Daiwa 23 Airity is the lightest Daiwa spinning reel ever: The new Airity features simply exceptional performance and construction quality. The body is of the monocoque type (MQ) entirely built in Magnesium to offer unparalleled parameters of structural rigidity and lightness. The 23 Airity was developed according to the new Airdrive Design construction concept for the construction of rotor, coil and bow, borrowed from the brand new top of the range Exist. The rotor in particular, built in Zaion, is designed to reduce weight and rotational inertia to a minimum, while maintaining even greater robustness than "standard" Air Rotors. The ATD-L clutch is also of the latest generation and has sensitivity and precision performance never seen before: it reacts sweetly and softly to the initial stress, then quickly but superprogressively sets to the set brake. A fundamental characteristic especially for those techniques that require the use of thin and very thin lines, such as trout area or light spinning.

With 22 EXIST LT Daiwa begins a new chapter. To begin the creation of AIRDRIVE DESIGN, DAIWA first separated the spinning reel into two key components. The first was the "rear drive" which consisted of the body and key internal components such as the drive gear. By introducing the MQ technology along with the robust digigear which is now becoming the standard of DAIWA reels, it has given the rear unit high strength and durability. Following the development of the rear unit, DAIWA has decided to redevelop the key components that make up what is called the "front unit". By retraining the rotor, spool and bracket assembly, DAIWA was able to reduce the weight of the front unit in 2022. Years of work, AIRDRIVE DESIGN is the result of this new thinking. DAIWA has developed an innovative masterpiece that allows anglers to be in total control. The low weight, smooth rotation and high response allow the reel to spin freely. All these elements combined come together to create AIRDRIVE DESIGN. The new AIRDRIVE ROTOR and the new AIRDRIVE BAIL both combine to reduce weight at the top of the reel. The low weight creates a smooth and effortless rotation, with quick start and low inertia. Unnecessary weight and thickness have been eliminated to innovate the new AIRDRIVE SPOOL, which perfectly matches the AIRDRIVE ROTOR and AIRDRIVE BAIL to complement the redesigned front unit. Unlike the traditional internal coil structure, DAIWA has developed a low contact structure between the main shaft and the pinion called AIRDRIVE SHAFT. By adopting this method, the friction is reduced and the smoothness is improved. The combination of these new technologies allows the reel to be extremely light and allows the angler to experience smooth low inertia rotation with greater control of the line and rod action.

TANACOM 1000, terribly serious, aggressive, reliable, is a straight-line heir to the Tanacom Bull 1000, of which it retains the body, the engine, the irreplaceable Power Lever ™ and, last but not least, the Japanese origin to guarantee maniacal precision and superior durability. The Jigging function is a must, which allows you to stimulate the aggression of the fish with an attractive up and down that can be modulated as desired. That game is run by refined software that makes a difference, that makes Daiwa electric specials. So, anything new? No, the novelty is the price, which falls by virtue of the fact that the worldwide diffusion of the 1000 model has reached an unexpected level, such as to eliminate investments in research and development, which from today no longer weigh on costs. And so the new Tanacom Bull 1000 is envied by competing models for the coexistence of a fantastic quality rate and a very attractive price. Her dress strongly recalls the tradition of sea fishing-oriented reels, with the chromatic combination of black and gold. Like all Daiwa electrical devices, it complies with European regulations (CE) regarding electrically powered devices. The sealed electronics allow washing under running water when returning from fishing: a duty both towards the tool and with respect to the possibility of enforcing the 1 year warranty in case of malfunction. • Operation with 12V electricity (cables supplied); • Power Lever ™ for instant control of strength and speed of recovery; • Digital reading of the amount of line released by the reel and the amount raised from the bottom; • Programmable Auto Stop ™ device to stop recovery when the bait reaches the surface; • Jigging function for recovery and rhythmic release of the bait (VJ); • Possibility of manual recovery; • Maximum recovery speed: 110 meters per minute with 1.5 kg load; • Washable reel thanks to sealed electronics (Washable); • The needle is supplied to pass the line through the wire guide and the clamps for fixing to the rod; • Instruction manual downloadable from Daiwa website.
