About Us

Daiwa's first spinning reel rolled off the assembly line in 1955. Since then, the company has grown into one of the largest and influential tackle companies.

From the very beginning, Daiwa's emphasis has been upon innovation and quality. The result is a long list of product features, design and materials that have become standards for the fishing tackle industry. It is a long-standing record of innovation, the type of innovation that has left a visible mark on the majority of tackle manufactured today, innovation that continues to advance the sport of fishing.

The EMCAST Bite N’ Run feature allows line to pay off the reel when a gamefish takes a live or natural bait. Once line is paying off the reel, the refined Auto Clutch will put the reel in gear allowing a solid hook set. It is much more controlled than simply opening up the bail, the traditional method used when fishing natural baits with spinning reels. The reel sizes vary from a 2500 Series to a 5000 Series making the versatile reel line suitable for many different applications in many different fisheries. The reel designs are in the LT Concept of light yet tough. The Carbon Light Body is substantially lighter yet just as strong as traditional materials. To further the concept, the Air Rotor is also lighter yet just as strong. A slick Machined Aluminum Handle is powerful yet comfortable to the hand. When a gamefish is taking a bait offering and the reel is put in gear, the ATD or Advanced Tournament Drag System, utilizing a proprietary grease, allows the smooth payoff of line no matter how long the run. A 5.2 to 1 Gear Ratio shades the reel toward pulling power. If you are looking for an exciting new reel tailored for the live and natural bait fisherman, look to the new EMCAST BR LT to put your presentation at the take.
