Product Video Daiwa’s EMERALDAS range of dedicated squid fishing products continues to grow with the introduction of EMERALDAS RX LT. Constructed from a lightweight ZAION V Moncoque (MQ) body, a true single piece body unique to Daiwa spinning reels creating a much stronger, better sealed body unit. AIRDRIVE Design features in a new rotor and bail arm design which has lowered the weight of the reel, but importantly made the handle easier to turn. Available in two models perfectly suited to both squid fishing and light tackle finesse fishing generally. Features AIRDRIVE DESIGNDaiwa’s new Airdrive Design, a four pillar (Airdrive Rotor, Airdrive Bail, Airdrive Spool, and Airdrive Shaft) design concept that reduces weight, and enhances rotational smoothness and responsiveness to create a reel that is next level in both form and function. ABS-LONGCAST Compared to conventional spools, the LC-ABS has been shown to increase the average flight distance by approx. 5% due to its reduced weight and modified shape. 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. CRBB Lasting 12 times longer than standard stainless steel bearings Daiwa’s CRBBs feature specially treated stainless steel, and a protective shield on the bearing race that seals out sand, fine grit, salt crystals and other abrasives. The result is a longer lasting bearing that’s protected from the corrosive elements that destroy traditional bearings. Dust, water, and salt intrusion into the inner workings of a reel are a thing of the past with MagSeal. MONOCOQUE A one-piece frame eliminates the use of traditional two-piece body & sideplate construction. A single piece body utilises a screw-in engine plate to house the main gear, reducing flex and twist under load creating a sealed mechanism. The elimination of the side plate has also allowed for a more compact body design. MQ technology not only makes reels stronger & better sealed, but also more compact. ZAION V BODY A new generation of lightweight Daiwa’s resin and carbon material. The Zaion V material is both strong and incredibly lightweight.
