◼︎Salt anglers long awaited! Highly rigid SW spinning ‘BLAST’ overwhelms with its shockingly light weight. Suitable for a wide range of light jigging and casting games in near-shore waters, shore jigging games from the shore and super light jigging.

◼︎ High-strength aluminium housing. Powerful! And comfortable. Equipped with ‘Aluminium machine-cut digi-gear’. Equipped with power light knob as standard. Handle setting for a good feel in shore and offshore fishing.

◼︎LT (LIGHT TOUGH) Thorough attention to weight reduction in every detail, including the body, spool and handle. A new standard for Daiwa's small spinning lures, created by evolving the gears that form the heart of the reel and the material of the body that encloses the gears to be tougher.

◼︎MAGSEALED A waterproof structure that shuts out seawater and dust by creating a wall of magnetic oil between the body and rotor. Because there is no contact between the body and rotor, light and smooth rotation is maintained and the initial spinning performance is maintained for a long period of time.

◼︎ATD A new-generation drag system that continues to work while smoothly following the pull of the fish. Smoother sliding than before, so less likely to cause line breakage,

The system is less likely to give fish a sense of discomfort, so it is less likely to cause them to act up unnecessarily. The unique stickiness of the feel of the action means that even at low drag settings, the line is less likely to run all at once, reducing the frequency of drag readjustments during a fight and allowing the angler to concentrate on the fight.

◼︎AIR ROTOR The AIR ROTOR has a structure that can be called a rotor revolution. The load is dispersed by the specially shaped and optimised rim structure, resulting in a significant weight reduction with the same strength. Rotor balance has also been improved to achieve light, responsive rotation.

◼︎Other features and specifications ◼︎Super metal body Super metal = Special aluminium material provides extremely high rigidity compared to plastic bodies. The solid outer body does not warp under high loads and the internal gear mesh does not become misaligned, producing solid winding power and durability.

◼︎DS4 (rotor material) Fibre-reinforced special plastic specially developed for reels using Daiwa's proprietary technology.

◼︎ Aluminium machine-cut handle Aluminium machine-cut handle for rigid and stable winding feel.

◼︎ Aluminium spool Lightweight and rigid metal spool.

◼︎ Perfect line stopper

New line stopper for fine lines such as PE and large diameter lines such as leaders. Easy to hook, hard to dislodge and easy to remove. It is also lightweight. Another significant evolution is that it is now repairable.

◼︎LC-ABS spool New spool design for longer casting distance and trouble-free fishing.

◼︎ Crosswrap Cross-wrapping method to prevent the line from biting into the spool winding area and prevent the line from shifting by adopting a twill winding method with a large winding angle. This method reduces line trouble significantly, especially when using fine thread or PE line, and at the same time provides a comfortable flying action.

◼︎ air bail A bail shape that sends the line out so that it flows to the line roller, thereby drastically reducing line tangling problems. The hollow structure also significantly increases strength without changing the weight.

◼︎ Twist Buster II The Twist Buster II has a tapered line roller that allows the line to roll, which greatly reduces thread tangling caused by the roller rotation, which is said to be the fate of spinning reels.

◼︎ Rotor brake A mechanism that applies a brake to the rotor rotation when the bail is open, preventing the bail from bending unexpectedly due to handle movement caused by shocks during casting. Shower washable Can be rinsed under running water. (After washing, maintenance must be carried out in accordance with the instruction manual.)
