The Daiwa Free Swimmer spinning reel, specifically designed for live bait fishing, offers impressive features and power to catch big fish. It has a unique drag system known as the “Bite & Run,” which allows live baitfish to swim freely while maintaining the ability to hook the targeted species without detection. This reel is perfect for live-lining or using chunking cut baits, greatly increasing your chances of hooking fish.
The Free Swimmer incorporates the latest Daiwa reel technologies to deliver exceptional performance. Its Air Rotor system provides balance, toughness, and sensitivity by reducing weight and eliminating vibrations. The Advanced Tournament Drag (ATD) is waterproof and ensures a smooth drag payout at any speed or pressure, while also providing maximum stopping power against even the toughest fish. The reel's all-aluminum frame and oversized DIGIGEAR system result in impressive power transmission and extended gear life.
For added convenience and durability, the Free Swimmer features a large rounded EVA knob for better leverage and an O-ring sealing system that guarantees reliable performance in saltwater environments. This reel is built to handle the most challenging fishing situations, making it a must-have for any angler.
