[Attractive Features & Recommended Points]

●Lightweight and Compact Specialized Design: The body is made from ZAION, a lightweight and high-strength carbon material. Although designed for long-distance casting and basket fishing, it achieves both a compact size and impressive lightness. The short-stroke 25mm spool design also contributes to smoother and easier casting.

●Equipped with a New “Anti Line-Drop Mechanism”: This new feature suppresses line intrusion from the spool to the rotor, improving prevention of line drop and enhancing recovery after tangling. It offers great reliability, especially when using PE line or during long-distance retrieves.

●Excellent Water Resistance and Durability for Saltwater Use: The MAGSEALED structure uses magnetic oil in the gaps of the body and rotor to block salt, water, and dust intrusion. This ensures long-term, worry-free use even in harsh saltwater fishing environments.

●Powerful Performance and Smooth Retrieval: The 5000 model boasts a gear ratio of 4.7, a line retrieve of 96cm per handle rotation (standard), and a maximum drag force of 15kg. These specs make it suitable for both frequent basket fishing and battling larger fish when needed.

●Versatile and Proven in Field Tests: Field feedback from anglers highlights its “noticeable lightness,” “less fatigue even after hours of casting,” and “easy maintenance thanks to the MAGSEALED structure.” It’s also praised for its excellent cost performance.

●Interchangeable Handle Knob System: The handle knob can be replaced according to fishing style, preference, or rod balance (compatible with Power T-knob and S-knob). This customization option adds to its user appeal.

A specialized spinning reel from Daiwa built on three core strengths: “Lightness × Rigidity,” “Reduced Troubles with Advanced Mechanisms,” and “Reliable Waterproof & Durable Technology.”
