AIRDRIVE DESIGN
20th year of continuous evolution

Full metal (AL) MONOCOQUE BODY,
providing solid reliable strength

Smooth winding, highly responsive rotation. The future of the DAIWA spinning reels, begins now.

AIRDRIVE SPOOL

AIRDRIVE SPOOL

Effortless Rotation.

In order to complete the design concept of AIRDRIVE DESIGN, weight reduction of the spool was essential.

In addition, the AIRDRIVE SPOOL is equipped with a newly developed drag sound mechanism. The new structure is separate from the spool body to reduce weight, while at the same time, it has been modified to have less frictional resistance so as not to interfere with the drag release.

Airdrive Bail

Airdrive Bail

Precise line flow.

The AIRDRIVE BAIL is the next evolution of AIR BAIL. In order to further reduce the inertia of the rotor unit, which has been completely redesigned with the AIRDRIVE DESIGN, reducing weight of the bail was the next step.

To enhance its position for power & strength, and to support the reduced weight of the rotor and maintain the sensitivity, 24CERTATE is equipped with Φ2.4mm bail.

Airdrive Rotor

Airdrive Rotor

Effortless rotation.

Smooth winding and precise stop. Anglers can wind and stop the reel with perfect timing.

Low rotation inertia of the spherical rotor brings the feel of lightness when winding. The operability and winding sensitivity have been dramatically improved.

AIRDRIVE ROTOR will bring the lure fishing scene to the next level.

Airdrive Shaft

Airdrive Shaft

Low friction oscillation.

AIRDRIVE SHAFT creates the feel of smooth, quiet rotation and provides anglers with enhanced torque and power.

In addition to this, both ends of pinion gear are now supported with bearings to transmit the crank power from the handle to the rotor with a higher level of efficiency. By adding high quality collars to the mainshaft, rotational noise has been reduced significantly.

ROTOR Strength test: It proves the new AIRDRIVE ROTOR has an equal amount of strength in comparison to 19CERTATE.

Changes to the shape and thickness from the 19CERTATE Rotor have also managed to reduce the weight but allowed strengthening to areas where a significant amount of force is applied.

ATD TYPE-L

ATD TYPE-L

Smooth and Powerful

The ATD TYPE-L drag system works smoothly in response to the pull of a fish.

But the initial response of the drag has been further improved, especially when using lighter lines to further reduce the load on the line and enable quicker catch without causing too much stress to the fish.

*LT5000D-CXH, LT5000D, and LT5000D-XH have carbon washers + ATD.

Long Cast-ABS

Long Cast-ABS

Greater distance.

Friction caused by line contact with the spool edge during casting has been reduced.

The two-stage spool edge shape is engineered for smooth line release. The spool edge is designed to be best suited for long casts with the maximum amount of line spooled. Distance is increased by approximately 5% compared to models without the LONG CAST-ABS.

Twistbuster III

Twistbuster III

Twist prevention.

TWIST BUSTER is a mechanism for eliminating line twisting, a major cause of line problems. The new TWIST BUSTER III uses a gap in the line roller section to suppress the fluttering of the line as it passes through the line roller.

The line roller section is also equipped with MAGSEALED. This new design realises reliable rotation performance over a long period of time, unaffected by salt water.

Full metal (AL) MONOCOQUE BODY, Large drive gear, providing solid reliable strength.

MONOCOQUE BODY DESIGN

MONOCOQUE BODY DESIGN

The MONOCOQUE BODY is covered by an engine plate, which itself serves as a huge screw, and provides stronger housing and prevents deflection under heavy loads. Getting rid of screw holes also allows for a much larger space inside the body than in the traditional structure, making it possible to load a more powerful, larger-diameter drive gear.

TRADITIONAL BODY DESIGN

TRADITIONAL BODY DESIGN

The body cover is fastened to the body with three or four screws. When the body is subjected to heavy loads, the power concentrates on these thin screws, so the body and body cover are prone to bending under heavy loads. In addition, the screw holes reduce the internal space, which naturally reduces the size of the drive gear that can be installed into the body.

MONOCOQUE BODY

MONOCOQUE BODY

Rigid one piece body (AL)

The MONOCOQUE BODY is incredibly tough, and produces stable rotation.

By introducing MONOCOQUE (MQ) construction the internal body space has been increased to allow larger drive gear to be installed. MQ construction also allows the engine plate to replace the need for screws to stabilise the drive gear. MQ concept improves support of the internal parts and adds durability and resistance to intrusion. (AL-Aluminium)

TOUGH DIGIGEAR

TOUGH DIGIGEAR

Torque and power.

24CERTATE is equipped with a TOUGH DIGIGEAR made from duralumin. The rigid material is cold-forged and machine-cut to high precision to achieve the ideal tooth shape.

In addition, special surface treatment is applied to minimise damage to the gears caused by high loads. Furthermore, the 3000-5000 size reels with an XH ratio are equipped with a high-strength pinion that has a proven track record with SALTIGA.

MAGSEALED

MAGSEALED

Performance preserved.

MAGSEALED is a technology that implements a special liquid material developed originally for aerospace engineering. MAGSEALED is used to create a water and dust-resistant barrier in lieu of traditional rubber seals.

The ultimate focus of MAGSEALED was to protect the gearing inside the reel body and the bearings. Two of the key components to protect if overall performance is to be preserved.

MAGSEALED LINE ROLLER

MAGSEALED LINE ROLLER

Prolonged durability.

The line roller section is often vulnerable to water, so MAGSEALED is also equipped to prolong the life of the CRBB line roller bearing.

It does not stick, works reliably and for a long time, greatly reducing line problems caused by line twisting.

(*FC models are not equipped with this feature to ensure absolute free flowing line in finesse situations.)
