Daiwa Freeswimmer BR
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 offers optimal winding smoothness while eliminating vibration thanks to a lowered center of gravity. Its waterproof, carbon Automatic Tournament Drag (ATD) system uses an improved drag grease with low viscosity at rest that becomes more viscous immediately after drag start-up. The result is a super-smooth drag with low initial inertia and beast-stopping power. The Free Swimmer is available in both 8,000 and 10,000 sizes, with an all-aluminum frame and 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 longer gear life, 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.

This reel seems to hit all the right spots in the right way. Just enough drag (although I don’t know why this one gets 22lbs and their sub $100 Emcast gets 26lbs), wide spool to aid with the casting, holds plenty of line, and overall has a solid build that feels great. One thing to note though is that the one I bought from BassPro was returned because I found it cheaper elsewhere by $50.

Love this reel. I have been using a Baitrunner for a long time and happy to see Daiwa get in the game. Hoping they come out with a smaller model.
