The Daiwa BG SW Spinning Reel combines durability with advanced technology to deliver exceptional performance across various fishing environments.
Key Features
- Black Anodized Machined Aluminum Housing ("Hard Bodyz"): Provides strength and internal part stability, with enhanced corrosion and scratch resistance.
- Over-sized Digigear™ System: Features the largest drive gear in Daiwa's history, increasing gear-tooth contact points for smoother operation, extended gear life, and increased torque.
- Solid Screw-In Handle: Eliminates movement between the main gear and handle arm, offering confidence and control during retrieval.
- Air Rotor: Weighs up to 15% less than ordinary rotor designs, reducing unnecessary weight while distributing stress more evenly for maximum strength.
- ABS Spool: Maximized core diameter and reversed taper mean 100% usable line, allowing for longer and easier casting with reduced line memory.
- Waterproof Drag System with Carbon ATD: Ensures a smooth and consistent drag performance, protecting internal components from water intrusion.
- Manual Return Bail (4500 and Larger): Enhances durability by preventing accidental bail closure during casting.
- 6BB+1RB Bearing System: Provides smooth operation and reliability.
- Infinite Anti-Reverse System (4000 and Smaller): Prevents handle back play for solid hook sets.
