DAIWA Spinning Reel 17 Cross Cast 5500 (Throwing/Long Throwing) (2017 Model)

Winding length (cm/1 rotation of handle): 82 Gear ratio: 4.1 Weight (g): 635 Maximum drag force (kg): 15 Standard winding thread amount Nylon (No.-m): 8-250, 10-200, 12-170 Bearing (ball/roller): 3/1 Handle length (mm): 85 Knob specifications: power Accessories: Rubber sheet/adjusting washer Salt compatible Basket/Iso long cast high performance model for long casters Air rotor: An air rotor with a structure that can be called a rotor revolution. By distributing the load through an optimal rim structure with a unique shape, we have achieved a significant weight reduction with the same strength as before. The rotor balance has also been improved, resulting in responsive rotation. The winding efficiency during long distance casting is also excellent. DS4 (body/rotor material): Special fiber-reinforced plastic exclusively for reels created using Daiwa's unique technology. Foldable handle: Foldable handle for excellent portability. DigiGear II: Daiwa's unique digital design technology "DigiGear" has evolved further. In order to realize the ideal tooth surface derived through digital analysis, we have adopted ultra-high precision machine cutting technology, achieving tooth surface precision several times higher than that of forged gears. Durability has been improved by applying a special wrapping process to the drive gear and achieving an optimal balance between the pinion gear and drive gear. Cross Wrap: By adopting a twill winding method with a large winding angle, this method uses a cross winding method to prevent the line from digging into the spool winding section and from shifting the thread. Especially when using fine thread or PE line, the reduction in line trouble is noticeable, and at the same time, a comfortable flight is achieved. Twist Buster II: By tapering the line roller and rolling the line, this structure greatly eliminates line twisting that occurs when the roller rotates, which is said to be the fate of spinning reels. Shower washable: Can be washed with running water. (After cleaning, maintenance according to the instruction manual is required) Cast lock manual return: When the bail is opened during casting, the rotor rotation is locked, preventing the bail from unexpectedly reversing during casting. For safety reasons, bales will be returned manually using a manual return method. Infinite Stopper: A stopper that instantly stops the reel from reversing using the frictional force of the rollers. It provides a comfortable operating feeling with a tight feel without rattling or play. Line drop prevention mechanism: Equipped with a line guard sliding type line drop prevention mechanism to prevent the line from falling from the spool and getting caught between the spool and rotor.
