Superior, smooth operation like never before Daiwa wanted to create spinning reels that people will can use with confidence for many years to come. Not for anyone in particular, but for all anglers. The philosophy behind Certate has remained unchanged over the past 20 years. The "Airdrive Design" next generation spinning reel concept in the new Daiwa 24 Certate (G) LT 4000D-C Spinning Reel continues the pursuit of superior operability. It's a design concept that aims to allow you to control the lures as you wish, and is composed of up to four technologies. The benefits of a reel equipped with Airdrive Design are too great to be ignored. Lightweight operability resulting from optimal weight balance translates to improved rotation that allows you to feel a sense of exceptional control with your tackle. Winding sensitivity that allows you to feel even the slightest fish bite or change in current. Certate is the answer for all modern anglers. The new ATD Type-L drag reduces the load on the line and promises a safe and comfortable fight with high response and smooth sliding. This operability cannot be obtained without solid rigidity. That is why Certate has consistently focused on rigidity. The symbol of this is the "Monocoque Body", a one-piece moulded structure made of aluminium material. This is Daiwa's proprietary technology that minimises body flexing under heavy loads, a weak point of spinning reels with previous structures, to realise strong winding power. The engine plate screwed into the body is also made of aluminium. In other words, the internal structure, which is the heart of the reel, is solidly supported by the full metal body made of aluminium. The drive gears inside the body are treated with a special surface treatment to increase their hardness and reduce damage to the gears under heavy loads. The main shaft, which transmits the power to the front unit, is made of stainless steel, which is even stiffer than aluminium, to maximise performance without power loss. The new Certate, now in its 20th year of evolution, is the new standard of spinning reel for a new era, for all anglers.
