Daiwa 21 Ballistic MQ LT spinning reel

Daiwa line winding technology. It consists of cross winding the line onto the reel spool.

Technology that reduces the backward movement of the reel's crank almost to zero, thus allowing the fish to be hooked with confidence.

Daiwa brand technology to create an extremely strong and deformation-resistant carbon composite used for the reel body.

Daiwa-branded technology that reduces line twisting during retrieval and minimises friction on the reel's guide roller.

A reel bail technology that is hollow yet extremely lightweight, robust and resistant to bending. In addition, its thickened towards the reel prevents the line from tangling.

Technology that distributes the forces on the individual parts of the rotor acting through the line and guide roller. In addition, it allows for a 15% lighter rotor.

Advanced technology from the DAIWA brand based on the use of magnetic oil for reels. This oil gives the reels features such as longevity, no rusting and high functionality. Above all, however, it provides a super-tight seal - preventing water, dirt and salt from entering the product, guaranteeing lightweight spinning and no friction.

An innovative approach to reel design has been taken, offering a smaller size but increased strength. The compact design combines with the more powerful Digigear drive for the perfect combination of lightness and strength.

TOUGH DIGIGEAR® technology consists of developing and refining the advantages of the already existing DIGIGEAR system. This was done through detailed analysis and experimentation with each component, including the diameter, thickness, shape and size of the gear teeth. All aspects have been thoroughly tested and improved, resulting in a significant increase in the durability of the gearbox.

It relies on the advanced design and arrangement of the gears in an oscillating mechanism, which increases the smoothness of the gearbox compared to traditional systems of similar design. Key to this is the precise alignment of contact points between helical and straight teeth, achieving energy efficiency close to 99% and quiet operation.

Advanced corrosion-resistant ball bearings, particularly effective in marine and saltwater conditions. They are up to 12 times more resistant to rust than standard bearings, significantly increasing their durability and reliability in harsh environments.

ATD™ technology is a state-of-the-art system that uses special discs soaked in a specialised lubricant. This ensures optimum use of energy, increasing the grinding power at the start and providing a stable and gradual brake action. It minimises the risk of breaking during the fight with the fish, adapting to each phase of the fight. It reacts more quickly and progressively to the initial escapes of the fish, and provides a stronger hold in the middle phase, which is crucial when turning up.
