BG SW exhibits a modernized design complimented by a new gasket-sealed waterproof aluminum frame and body cover, maintaining the strength and structural rigidity anglers need to target serious gamefish. A massive improvement is found within the newly integrated POWERDRIVE DESIGN components.
At the heart of the reel, Daiwa's POWERDRIVE ENGINE incorporates an oversized POWER DIGIGEAR that increases cranking power and efficiency, allowing anglers to apply greater pressure with confidence. The structurally reinforced POWERDRIVE ROTOR serves flawless rotation while resisting flex under heavy drag loads to maintain precise alignment during tough fights.
The drag system has also received an upgrade in the form of Daiwa's latest ATD TOUGH carbon drag that is engineered to apply sustained pressure while remaining smooth. Combined with Automatic Tournament Drag (ATD) technology, the system uses specialized drag grease that exhibits a low viscosity at rest yet becomes more viscous immediately after drag startup, minimizing initial drag startup inertia for smoother engagement. The gasket-lined braid-ready spool offers secure attachment for braided line, eliminating the need for a monofilament backing. Finished with a precision-machined aluminum screw-in handle and an upgraded soft-touch egg-shaped knob to give anglers better grip and comfort during extended battles.
Key Technologies
-
POWERDRIVE DESIGN: Integrated structural engineering combining the drive engine, rotor, and frame for maximum rotational strength and torque transmission.
-
POWER DIGIGEAR: Oversized drive gear engineered to optimize gear mesh alignment, winding power, and efficiency under high load.
-
POWERDRIVE ROTOR: Structurally reinforced composite construction providing smooth, flex-free rotation under heavy drag pressure.
-
Gasket-Sealed Aluminum Body: High-rigidity aluminum frame and body cover with gasket protection to guard internal components against saltwater intrusion.
-
ATD TOUGH Drag: Carbon drag washers paired with Automatic Tournament Drag grease to minimize startup inertia and sustain progressive, chatter-free resistance.
-
Braid-Ready Spool: Gasket-lined spool core designed for direct braided line attachment without slipping.
