Equipped with DAIWA’s latest technology, AIRDRIVE DESIGN. Evolution of LT and REAL FOUR, providing ULTIMATE CONTROL. “AIRDRIVE DESIGN” is the next generation of spinning reel design concept. The 24CERTATE implements this cutting-edge technology in the front unit, providing anglers with the superior operability with maximum power and rigidity. This landmark evolution has two major implications for the history of CERTATE.One is the culmination of the LT concept, reached with the MONOCOQUE BODY. The other is the REAL FOUR concept that has been carried on from the first CERTATE which revolutionised spinning reels in 2004. The REAL CONTROL was the last piece that needed innovative evolution, this has now been achieved with the 24CERTATE through the innovative technology of AIRDRIVE DESIGN. Full metal (AL) MONOCOQUE BODY, a symbol of STRENGTH. The pursuit of power, rigidity, and durability never stops. Full metal MONOCOQUE BODY made of aluminum symbolizes the strength that no other reels can provide. An identity that has earned CERTATE the trust of a wide range of anglers over the years. The desire to be strong and tough wherever possible made 24CERTATE even stronger. Special surface treatment has been added to increase hardness of the drive gear and water resistance has been improved on the handle side, in addition, the drags and pinions of some of the larger models are reinforced to SALTIGA-equivalent specifications.CERTATE is always a tough spinning reel that can be used for many years to come. The quality and strength of the product is the proof of its reliability, which has been widely used across the globe regardless of the target. Front Unit Technology AIRDRIVE SPOOL Effortless Rotation. In order to complete the design concept of AIRDRIVE DESIGN, weight reduction of the spool was essential.In addition, the AIRDRIVE SPOOL is equipped with a newly developed drag sound mechanism. The new structure is separate from the spool body to reduce weight, while at the same time, it has been modified to have less frictional resistance so as not to interfere with the drag release. AIRDRIVE BAIL Precise line flow The AIRDRIVE BAIL is the next evolution of AIR BAIL. In order to further reduce the inertia of the rotor unit, which has been completely redesigned with the AIRDRIVE DESIGN, reducing weight of the bail was the next step. To enhance its position for power & strength, and to support the reduced weight of the rotor and maintain the sensitivity, 24CERTATE is equipped with Φ2.4mm bail. AIRDRIVE ROTOR Effortless rotation Smooth winding and precise stop. Anglers can wind and stop the reel with perfect timing. Low rotation inertia of the spherical rotor brings the feel of lightness when winding. The operability and winding sensitivity have been dramatically improved. AIRDRIVE ROTOR will bring the lure fishing scene to the next level. AIRDRIVE SHAFT Low friction oscillation. AIRDRIVE SHAFT creates the feel of smooth, quiet rotation and provides anglers with enhanced torque and power. In addition to this, both ends of pinion gear are now supported with bearings to transmit the crank power from the handle to the rotor with a higher level of efficiency. By adding high quality collars to the mainshaft, rotational noise has been reduced significantly. ROTOR Strength test: It proves the new AIRDRIVE ROTOR has an equal amount of strength in comparison to 19CERTATE. Changes to the shape and thickness from the 19CERTATE Rotor have also managed to reduce the weight but allowed strengthening to areas where a significant amount of force is applied. ATD TYPE-L Smooth and Powerful The ATD TYPE-L drag system works smoothly in response to the pull of a fish. But the initial response of the drag has been further improved, especially when using lighter lines to further reduce the load on the line and enable quicker catch without causing too much stress to the fish. *LT5000D-CXH, LT5000D, and LT5000D-XH have carbon washers + ATD. LONG CAST-ABS Greater distance Friction caused by line contact with the spool edge during casting has been reduced. The two-stage spool edge shape is engineered for smooth line release. The spool edge is designed to be best suited for long casts with the maximum amount of line spooled. Distance is increased by approximately 5% compared to models without the LONG CAST-ABS. TWISTBUSTER III Twist prevention. TWIST BUSTER is a mechanism for eliminating line twisting, a major cause of line problems. The new TWIST BUSTER III uses a gap in the line roller section to suppress the fluttering of the line as it passes through the line roller. The line roller section is also equipped with MAGSEALED. This new design realises reliable rotation performance over a long period of time, unaffected by salt water. Body Unit Technology Monocoque Body Desgin vs Traditional Body Design MONOCOQUE BODY DESIGN The MONOCOQUE BODY is covered by an engine plate, which itself serves as a huge screw, and provides stronger housing and prevents
