EXIST G LT 2022 DC XH REEL

With Airdrive Design, control your reel however you want!
This new technological concept of Airdrive Design will prefigure the future of Daiwa reels and this first page of a new era opens with the 22 EXIST!

The development of this new reel was based on the separation of the product into two distinct units. The rear part, the body, uses the know-how mastered by Daiwa since the introduction of Monocoque and Tough Digigear technologies, essential for robustness and reliability. The front part of the reel has been the subject of a complete redesign and the creation of the Airdrive Design concept around the key parts that are the rotor, the basket handle, the spool and the shaft.

The Airdrive Rotor, the work on the shape of the rotor, increases the resistance of this important part, lightening the gear and reducing the rotational inertia by 16% compared to the previous version.

The Airdrive Bail: the robustness of Airbail fly rods has always been a strong point for Daiwa. In the new 22 EXIST, the design of several fly rod components has been revamped. The diameter of the hollow pick-up has been reduced by 30%, its angle has been reworked to make line routing more fluid, and the roller has been fitted with an additional groove to better centre line distribution and limit twists (Twist Buster III).

The Airdrive Spool: the spool is always a decisive element in assessing the design of a reel, a reflection of its character. In this top-of-the-range Daiwa version, the spool is lighter, has a lug at the bottom to limit the risk of line entering the shaft and is equipped with a new evolution of the drag system, ATD-L, as well as a new, louder click sound.

Airdive Shaft: the vertical rotational force from the crank is converted by the pinion into a horizontal force. The shaft passing through the pinion supports the oscillation of the spool. These changes are crucial and represent an engineering challenge to obtain great smoothness of operation. The floating shaft is now supported by a pinion whose ends are fitted with bearings to ensure better transmission without loss of power and collars that guarantee silence.
