Daiwa Crosscast QDA Reel
Daiwa is a brand which is world famous for its top class fishing reels and the Japanese company has specialised in this area of the industry since the 1950s. This Daiwa Crosscast QDA more than lives up to the heritage that the brand demands and whether you’re looking to upgrade your existing set up or you’re looking to head into the deep end with a superb performance piece, this reel is perfect for you. It features a whole range of Daiwa’s highest end technologies, none of which would look out of place on a reel twice the price, and this is reel which is all about power.
The Daiwa Crosscast QDA is fitted with an aluminium long cast spool. As the name suggests, this spool has been designed to ensure that you can punch out your rigs to impressive distances and this reel is ideal for the angler who wants the distance casting potential of a classic big pit reel without the engorged spool size. This reel also comes supplied with a spare spool as standard, so you can set up with two different line types ready for use on the bank. As you will have come to expect from a top quality Daiwa reel, this reel offers exceptional line lay with each wind. This is thanks to the brand’s bespoke wormshaft oscillation system. This is a moving oscillation system which pitches the reel rotation and line retrieve accurately, ensuring that you can enjoy parallel line wraps time after time. This, in turn, ensures that line can come off the reel as cleanly as you like, ensuring that you’re able to get those vital additional inches onto your cast.
The reel has been fitted with Air Rotor. This is Daiwa’s ‘floating’ rotor system which reduces rotor friction to a minimum. Not only does the Air Rotor weigh significantly less than Daiwa’s traditional rotor system but it is also longer lasting. This is because the stress points on the rotor are minimised and overall pressure on the rotor is more evenly dispersed across the rotor system. This also reduces the overall distortion of the rotor under pressure, ensuring that this rotor performs to the best of its ability throughout its cycle. Digigear II is another of the outstanding features which can be found on the Crosscast QDA. This is Daiwa’s precision milled gear technology which allows for the flawless intersection of the gear teeth, allowing you to express maximum power through the handle with maximum reward. With Digigear II, you never have to feel as if you’re fighting against your reel as well as the fish you’re trying to land and it improves the rotor performance significantly. The handle on the reel has been manufactured from aluminium. This ensures that you’re able to put as much power as you like through the handle in the confidence that it is more than durable enough to stand the force. The combination of these three features ensures that this is the perfect reel to use when bringing in a hard fighting carp.
This reel is a smooth power performer, thanks in part to the trio of ball bearings which are at work in the body of the reel. This ensures that this reel is blissful to operate at all times. These bearings also help to improve the lifespan of the reel, as they prevent wear and tear through friction on the vital internal components of the Crosscast. If you’re looking for a top quality reel which can offer you world class performance across its life then you need look no further, this is the dream reel for you. The Daiwa Crosscast QDA is available in both a 5,000 size and a 5,500 size, so you can choose the perfect reel to suit your specifications.
