Daiwa '24 Certate SW

The "Daiwa '24 Certate SW" is a model specifically designed for use in the natural environment of the sea, further refining the features of the CERTATE. It is based on the next-generation spinning reel design philosophy, the Air Drive Design, and utilizes advanced technologies such as an aluminum full-metal monocoque body and MagShield, which ensure the core performance of the CERTATE. This tradition is continued and focused on the demands of a specialized saltwater model. The most important criteria were stiffness and power. The target species are predatory fish like bluefish, skipjack, or hirasuzuki, for which 2-3 mm PE lines are typically used. Such catches can sometimes involve fights with large fish that defy imagination. To prepare for this, the monocoque housing was enlarged and the large internal drive gear reinforced. The engine plate, which supports the geared motor, was also made thicker. This ensures optimal gear meshing even under high load during retrieval, enabling powerful and efficient power transmission. These improvements extend beyond the housing itself: The rotor in the front section, made of ZAION material, has been enlarged and reinforced, resulting in a stiffness increase of approximately 39% compared to the similarly sized CERTATE model (compared to the LT5000). The bail arm is designed for use with larger lures and features a manual anti-reverse mechanism to prevent unintentional rebound during casting – thus avoiding accidents. The model has also been improved in terms of water resistance compared to its predecessor. Use in the sea poses a significantly higher risk of water intrusion due to the salt content compared to freshwater. Waves and sea breezes further increase the potential for water entry. To counteract this, the seal has been attached to the handle and combined with MagShield technology on the worm gear – this ensures a high degree of water resistance. Under the natural conditions of the sea, it was essential to develop a reliable reel. This goal was pursued consistently: The CERTATE SW was thoroughly tested, further developed, and adapted to the challenges at sea.
