BAITCAST REELS

The Shimano Curado DC is a game-changer in the world of baitcasting reels. Shimano's Curado DC series has revolutionised baitcaster fishing, providing anglers with unparalleled casting performance and control. With its innovative Digital Control braking technology, a microcomputer monitors spool speed 1,000 times per second, ensuring precise brake application to prevent backlash and optimise casting accuracy and distance.

Experience precision and control with the Curado M Series, featuring MGL Spool III, SVS Infinity, and MicroModule Gear for smooth, accurate casting. Available in two gear ratios, these reels suit a variety of techniques and styles. Built with Shimano’s HAGANE Body and MicroModule gearing, they offer long-lasting durability and are engineered for saltwater use—ready to handle tough conditions and big catches.

Calcutta Conquest A: The metal body provides a rigid and comfortable feel when reeling. The CALCUTTA CONQUEST is the first bass reel equipped with the Infinity Drive, which is highly regarded in bait reels for salt fishing. Rotational resistance has been greatly reduced, and the sensitivity, power, and feel of the reel have been greatly improved. A low-profile body improves the palming performance. The new low-inertia MGL SPOOL III enables the angler to send lures deep into structure with a low trajectory. XG with a gear ratio of 7.5 and a maximum reeling length of 89 cm has been added to the lineup, enabling powerful and high-speed reeling.

Dark in looks and unmatched in style and swagger the 2018 Ryoga baitcaster sets a new standard in baitcaster power, performance and precision.

Integrating many of Daiwa's most famous technologies the Ryoga once again takes baitcaster design to the next level with a host of advanced and precision focused new features standing this reel out from the pack when it comes to heavy-duty baitcaster excellence.

Daiwa's Hyper Mesh gear system, Magseal, Magforce Z, Speed Shaft, and the legendary ATD (Automatic Tournament Drag) lead the charge when it comes to features, while a G1 Duraluminium spool, Zero Adjuster, and Swept Handle further enhances the reel's cutting edge performance and control.

An ultra strong, alloy frame and side plates is the foundation of the Ryoga and provides an immoveable platform for this stunning reel, regardless of what's thrown at it. Solid and assured in the angler's hand the Ryoga has few peers when it comes to palm-ability for a larger, barrel profiled baitcaster.

Continuing its trend for innovation the Ryoga features Magseal technology, a design evolution that delivered unrivaled protection since introduced into the Daiwa spin reel line-up in 2010. Located on the pinion gear in the main gear side plate, Magseal prevents water and salt intrusion into the reel to significantly increase reel protection and performance. Slamming the door shut on unwanted intruders Magseal technology is baitcaster protection and design advancement like you've never before.

Ryoga's High Mesh gear system delivers a level of gear smoothness and strength like we've never seen before with its oversized, precision cut, multi teethed gears ensuring ultimate cranking smoothness, refinement and strength.

Cranking power and balance is further enhanced with a 90mm Swept Handle bringing the balance point of the handle closer to the centre of the reel and when combined with the new High Grip I Shape knobs provides unmatched cranking power, balance and control.

Giving you the power to seize the moment is Daiwa's innovative ATD drag system. Powerful and unyielding ATD gives you the power to take control of whatever crosses your angling path. A new large clicking machined aluminium star drag puts this control in easy reach, with its super light, ergonomic design making it easier than ever to crank the power up when needed.

The Ryoga's Zero Adjuster allows for effortless, trouble-free cast control setting, while the Speed Shaft free floating spool, G1 Duraluminium spool, and legendary Magforce Z cast control system delivers trouble free, effortless casting performance, regardless of the wind or the size of the lure being used.

Flawless in design, stunning in looks and style, and unparalleled in performance and power, the new Ryoga is the most revered heavy duty baitcaster Daiwa has ever produced and the ultimate big bait reel. Feel Alive, feel Ryoga.
