Daiwa Free Swimmer EX Bite N' Run Spinning Reel
Daiwa Free Swimmer EX Bite N' Run Spinning Reel Item # 1011482
Description
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
- Drag Max: 22 lbs
