| Crimson moon shining suspiciously in the dark night. AIR model with the
weight balance closely |
|
Not to mention mag shields equipped everywhere, AIR performs light weight
reduction ashamed by its name.
Eliminated the line stopper, succeeded in lighter weight than the air spool
with a spool skirt which was thinly
thinned to the limit (about 10 g weight reduction compared with 14 moon
beautiful 2004 spool).
Synergistic effect with ZAION air rotor can be expected by lightening the
head, and operability is improved with
outstanding weight balance. We also line up extremely shallow 2002 sizes
that will fit exactly the very fine ester lines,
and go the cutting edge of the light SW scene, which is increasingly demanding.

| DAIWA TECHNOLOGY |

 |
■MAGSEALED
Daiwa's original waterproof and durable technology that shuts out the invasion
of
substances such as water, salt and sand, which is the biggest factor of the decline in reel
performance, with the wall of magnetic oil and keeps the reel's rotation
performance in its initial state Adopted for body and line roller. Furthermore,
"Magshield ball bearing" which applied the technology to the
ball bearing which is the essential part of the rotation
performance is mounted on both ends of the handle shaft. No matter how
excellent rotation performance it is, it will be meaningless unless it
lasts long. The advantage that the initial performance lasts for a long
period of time is that the more you use it in the harsh Saltwater scene
for Lille, the longer the longer you hold it, the stronger you will feel. |

■NEW ZAION made air rotor
Using the rigidity of ZAION (Zion), the rotor realized the extreme lightness
by cutting off even more extravagance. When the parts such as the rotor
and the steering wheel are reduced in weight, the inertia force at the
time of rotation becomes small, and the resistance feeling when turning
the steering wheel decreases. This makes it easier to sense the change
in underwater resistance, resulting in the merit that changes in movement
of Atari and
lure during retrieval are more easily discriminated. The air rotor also
features not only lightness but also high strength. The arch structure
of the air rotor distributes the load in a well-balanced manner, and can
maintain high strength with less mass. |

■ATD (Finesse)
..In addition to the frictional force between the conventional washers,
the effect starts smoothly due to the effect of the grease film (like an
oil film) of the special grease, keeps working while automatically changing
the effectiveness according to the pulling of the fish. Moreover, because
it does not become a goulzulu, the fish is not taken the initiative. In
light
SW scenes where 1.5 lb and 2 lb are becoming mainstream now, the adoption
of ATD which is friendly to fine threads is an overwhelming advantage.
By the appearance of this drag, it is easy to prevent the line break even
in the schedule of the sudden rake and the ruler meval. Moreover, even
unexpected mouth break of weak fish like horse mackerel can be kept to
a minimum. It is a level that is not an exaggeration to say that "Finesse
drag of the highest in Daiwa history" is its capability. |

■ZAION (Zion) body
It is a carbon resin with carbon fiber woven into high density, and if
it is in the same weight ratio, the rigidity (flexural modulus) is not
less than magnesium known as ultra light metal. Furthermore, being strong
in "rust" because it is a carbon resin is a great merit that
can not be imitated by metals. It is no exaggeration to say that it is
just "a material born to become a reel". A small signal from
underwater, which is felt because it boasts high rigidity while being lightweight.
Its high sensitivity becomes a powerful weapon with light SW scene, which
is increasingly becoming lighter and more sensitive to tackle. |

Characteristic |
|
| Thin aluminum spool |
In order to lighten the spool even 1 g, we achieved weight saving not to
be ashamed of the name of "AIR"
by scrupulously thinning it to the extent that it can not eliminate line stopper (instead spool band is
attached) and can not even blank (drill) . |
|
| Aluminum machine cut handle |
High rigidity machine cut handle giving a sense of stable winding up. |
|
| Machine cut Digi gear |
Daiwa's proprietary digital design technology and ultra-duralumin forging
machine cut digi gear by high precision machine cutting process produces
a smooth and powerful retrieve feeling. |
|
| Linear shaft |
The structure that supports the main shaft and the pinion gear independently
eliminates the frictional resistance between them and reduces the power
loss to the limit even during winding at high load. |
|
| ABS R |
A spool structure in which the line is released without trouble, and the flight distance extends. By making the
winding surface inversely tapered with a large diameter, the line ahead
of the spool is hard to be pushed out, the line trouble starting with the
backlash drastically decreases. Large caliber spool also contributes to
improve winding speed and drag performance. ABS R is designed exclusively
for fluoro line. |
|
| Cross lap |
By adopting a cheese winding method with a large winding angle, a method of
winding up by crossing in order to prevent biting into the spool winding
part and deviation of the yarn. The reduction of line trouble is remarkable
especially when thin threads and PE line are used, and realizing comfortable
flight at the same time. |
|
| Air bail |
Bale shape which drastically reduces trouble of thread entanglement by
sending thread so as to flow to the line roller. Furthermore, by making it
hollow structure, we realized a great increase in strength without changing
weight. |
|
| Twistbuster II (R) |
Structure which greatly eliminated yarn sticking caused by roller rotation
which was said to be fate of spinning reel by rolling thread by tapering
line roller |
|
Line rollerBB
(2BB) |
By installing ball bearings in the line roller part, it contributes to
further improvement of feeling of rotation and reduction of yarn strain. |
|
| Rotor brakes |
Mechanism to prevent the unexpected veil return marks
by a steering wheel working by the shock in the cast
by braking the turn of the rotor at the time of veil opening. |
|
| Real Infinite Stopper |
Mechanism that eliminates backlash of the rotor handle by the special
one-way clutch inside the body, enabling tight and highly accurate winding
up. |
|
| Shower cleaning possible |
Can be washed with running water. (Maintenance according to the instruction
manual is required after cleaning) |
