Daiwa Free Swimmer EX Bite N’ Run Spinning Reel

Daiwa Free Swimmer EX Bite N’ Run Spinning Reel

The Free Swimmer features an Air Rotor that stands out for its balance, toughness, and sensitivity. Its arched profile and 15% weight reduction compared to standard rotors offer optimal winding smoothness while eliminating vibration thanks to a lowered center of gravity.

The Free Swimmer is sold with an alloy sideplate that features Digigear technology. Compared to most of the competition, the gears are between 20% to 40% larger and have a bigger tooth pattern, resulting in a longer gear life of up to three times that of competitive reels. Machined aluminum screw-in handle with a power round EVA knob for generating extra leverage, plus an O-ring sealing system to ensure high-quality saltwater performance.

Features:

• 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.
• Digigear:
  • Daiwa’s first generation of digitally engineered gear design ensures a perfect mesh between ultra-tough drive gears and pinion gears for optimized speed, power, durability, and smoothness.
• Machine Cut Handle:
  • The new handle design is slimmer, more compact, and 50% lighter.

Specifications:

• Bearing Count: 4 + 1
• Gear Ratio: 4.7 : 1
• Handle Position: Right/Left
