MQ TECHNOLOGY
Compact Form and Lighter Weight

Compact Form and Lighter Weight

Because screws and separate plates add bulk, eliminating them makes the reel body smaller and lighter. MQ reels have a lower profile, which improves balance on the rod and reduces angler fatigue.
One-piece Strength and Stiffness

One-piece Strength and Stiffness

Eliminating the separate side‑plate means there are no seams or screws to flex under load. The MQ body is inherently stiffer and more rigid. This rigidity allows the reel to transfer every ounce of handle power into the drive gear, making it feel solid and powerful during retrieves.
Screwless design, improved sealing

Screwless design, improved sealing

Traditional screw holes can act as entry points for salt, sand and water. MQ reels don’t use any external screws; the engine plate threads directly into the body, creating a smooth, screwless exterior.

MQ TECHNOLOGY

Introduced in 2018’s EXIST LT, Daiwa’s Monocoque Body replaced the traditional two piece frame with a single magnesium shell and a screw in engine plate. This one piece design creates space for larger drive gears and enhances strength, sealing and compactness. MQ technology now appears throughout the Daiwa range from light tackle to large saltwater spinning reels, bringing solid feel, enhanced gear power and weather resistance to anglers of all budgets and abilities.
