DAIWA BG SW 26 18000

The new Daiwa 26 BG SW 18000 represents the evolution of one of the most popular spinning reels for saltwater fishing, designed to deliver power, strength and maximum reliability even in the most demanding conditions.

Thanks to its full aluminum body, it ensures exceptional structural rigidity, reducing mechanical flex during intense fights with large predators.

At the heart of the reel is OVERSIZED POWER DIGIGEAR technology, featuring oversized gears that provide high retrieving torque, smooth operation and outstanding resistance even under heavy loads.

The POWERDRIVE ROTOR, combined with the reinforced CRANK POWER BAIL with manual closure, ensures strength and reliability during casts with heavy lures and the most demanding fights.

The powerful ATD TOUGH drag system with carbon washers, capable of delivering up to 20 kg of maximum drag power, provides smooth and progressive line release, essential for controlling the powerful runs of large pelagic predators.

Special attention has been given to protection against external elements through the WATERPROOF PACKING system, featuring dedicated seals designed to protect the body, main shaft and handle connection against saltwater intrusion.

The LC-ABS SW spool, combined with the Cross Wrap line-lay system, promotes even braided line distribution and optimal line release during casting, even when using heavy-diameter braided lines.

With a 5.3:1 gear ratio and an impressive 129 cm of line retrieved per handle turn, the Daiwa BG SW 18000 provides an excellent balance between speed and power, making it particularly suitable for offshore popping, heavy spinning and big pelagic game fishing.
