4 Great Daiwa Fishing Reels
Ever since the first Daiwa fishing reel was created in 1955, the company has been producing high-quality, reliable, durable fishing reels and tackle for die-hard anglers around the world.
Today, the ranks of the company’s fishing tackle are expansive; they also produce rods, tackle storage solutions, lures, line, accessories, and more.
But the heart and soul of Daiwa remains quality reels. Here are some of the finest models for both saltwater and freshwater use.
Daiwa TW80 Inshore Baitcast
The fast, efficient Daiwa TW80 is defined by its “HYPER DRIVE” design, which incorporates a HYPER DRIVE DIGIGEAR, with more efficient gear teeth that produce an impressively smooth reel.
It also features “HYPER DOUBLE SUPPORT,” “HYPER ARMED HOUSING” and a “HYPER TOUGH CLUTCH,” all of which, together, result in a more durable, smoother reel that enables more efficient power transfer.
The TW80 also features Daiwa’s UTD, or Ultimate Tournament Drag, with drag discs that are 30 times more durable than conventional drag discs, reducing startup resistance and increasing effective drag power.
Daiwa Tatula 150 Baitcast
The Daiwa Tatula 150 baitcast reel is ideal for bass fishermen that throw big, heavy baits, like crankbaits, frogs, and swimbaits. It features an aluminum side plate and reinforced brass gears with a sturdy pinion gear.
Tough as it is, it’s also impressively smooth, with 7 ball bearings and a roller bearing, and is available in three gear ratios, either 5.5:1, 6.3:1, or 7.3:1.
These Daiwa fishing reels also sport a TWS (T-Wing System) as well as a Swept Handle Design for increased comfort and ergonomics.
It’s definitely worth a look if you do a lot of power fishing for bass. Few casting reels allow for harder, smoother cranking.
Daiwa Zillion SV TW Baitcast
The Daiwa Zillion SV TW baitcaster is another gem from the Daiwa catalog, and is packed with features that make it a great option for a variety of fishing disciplines.
The Zillion SV TW is unbelievably strong and light, with an aluminum body that is lighter, stronger, and more cost-effective than conventional materials, but with superior corrosion resistance.
It also features an SV Booster system that helps improve casting distance, along with a TWS (T-Wing System) that addresses the problems associated with conventional line guides. It’s wider and less restrictive, allowing line to flow more freely off the spool, enabling longer, more accurate casts with less risk of backlash.
Like the TW80 Inshore, this Daiwa reel also features HYPERDRIVE DIGIGEAR technology, along with HYPER DOUBLE SUPPORT, HYPER ARMED HOUSING, and a HYPER TOUGH CLUTCH, all of which together produce an exceptional smooth, strong reel with minimal gear noise and impressive cranking power.
For the Spinner Fans: Daiwa Legalis LT Spinning
More affordable than the other Daiwa fishing reels on this list, and more practical for fishermen that prefer spinning tackle, last but not least we have the Daiwa Legalis LT.
The Legalis LT features the “LT” Body (Light yet Tough) constructed from Daiwa’s ZAION-V, a unique material that is optimized for weight reduction (minimizing fatigue) without compromising durability.
All in all, the Legalis LT is optimized for weight reduction, with an Air Bail, Air Rotor, and Carbon Light Body, all of which keep this reel surprisingly light.
It also features Daiwa’s Automatic Tournament Drag, and DIGIGEAR Technology, which collectively improve power transfer, reduce startup resistance, and improve overall power transfer while optimizing for silky-smooth reel operation.
