Monocoque (MQ)
A one-piece frame eliminates the use of traditional two-piece body and side plate construction. A single-piece body utilizes a screw-in engine plate to house the main gear, reducing flex and twist under load creating a sealed mechanism.
The elimination of the side plate has also allowed for a more compact body design. MQ Technology not only makes reels stronger and better sealed, but also more compact.
ABS Longcast
Compared to conventional spools, the LC-ABS has been shown to increase the average flight distance by approx. 5% due to its reduced weight and modified shape.
Air-Rotor
Lighter, stronger and more balanced than any rotor system that's come before, Air-Rotor delivers a great leap forward in forward design and function and delivers the ultimate line roller support.
Made from Zaion and featuring a redesigned arch that disperses pressure to the lower section of the rotor to reduce stressing and flexing, the design is further enhanced with a hallowed-out construction reducing weight while increasing reel sensitivity and rotational balance.
ATD Drag
Daiwa's Automatic Tournament Drag uses an improved drag grease that exhibits a low viscosity at rest, yet becomes more viscous immediately after drag start up. This reduces initial drag start-up inertia and combined with the structural changes of the ATD Drag System results in a smoother drag from the initial hook up.
