Daiwa reel technologies description

21 Caldia LT key features:

MONOCOQUE BODY

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.

CRBB

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.

MAGSEALED

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.

ZAION V

The new super composite material developed by Daiwa to further improve the performance of Light & Tough reels: it is as light as its "big brother" Zaion and much stiffer and more resistant to stress than DS5 and DS4 materials. The mechanical properties of the Zaion V allow to create bodies and rotors of lighter weight than the DS5 and DS4 materials: the internal mechanics can therefore work better, guarantee greater fluidity and greater resistance to fatigue, resulting in lighter and more performing reels. . But that is not all! Zaion V is a composite based on carbon fibers therefore totally insensitive to corrosion, even when used in salt water.

TOUGH DIGIGEAR

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.

LC-ABS (Long Cast ABS)

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.

Perfect Line Stopper

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.

Stopperless body

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.

TWIST BUSTER II

DAIWA´s original advanced technology designed to reduce line twist during retrieving. An essential reason for line twist has been eliminated with this smart idea. the Twist Buster 2 line roller not only minimises line twist, but also reduces further friction between the line and the roller.

INFINITE ANTI-REVERSE

The new Infinite Anti Reverse system is activated with 4 times less force than a classic system. Less than 2g is needed to engage the Real Stopper system which eliminates any handle movement brings sensitivity to the next level.

CROSS WRAP

The Cross Wrap system wraps the line around the spool in crossed spires for optimised offloading on the cast. This is absolutely key to preventing overruns and linespin.

AIR ROTOR

Air Rotor is a design triumph, where weight is reduced, rotary balance is even and stress distribution is even. The enormous strains, which affect the rotor via the line and the line roller are better distributed. This causes less pressure on the single parts of the rotor. The Air Rotor is 15% lighter than usual rotors of the same material - this reduces vibrations and enhances the rotational balance thanks to the near symmetrical shape and very low centre of gravity. Under the same strain, a conventional rotor can become much more distorted, due to concentrated pressure point. Air Rotor distributes the stress.

AIR BAIL

DAIWA's innovative bail design features a hollow, tubular stainless steel bail for maximum rigidity and strength with minimum weight. Due to the smooth, protrusion-free design of the Air Bail, even loose line, common after a cast slides easily down the bail onto the line roller as the reel is turned, without snagging or hanging up.

ATD

Daiwa’s ATD (Automatic Tournament Drag) uses an improved drag grease that exhibits a low viscosity at rest. This reduces initial drag start-up inertia resulting in a smoother drag from the initial hook up.
