Daiwa Whisker Match Reel
The Whisker Match Reel from
Daiwa is an incredible performance piece for the
match angler at an unbelievable price tag. The reel is adorned with a plethora of Daiwa’s most recognisable technologies. TwistBuster II is the second incarnation of Daiwa’s revolutionary line roller, designed to counteract natural line twist. The benefits of this are two fold, as not only does this ensure that the line lay is true to form each time, but it also significantly improves the life of your
fishing line as it reduces the friction on the line from the roller, too. This reel also features Daiwa’s patented Anti-Backlash System (ABS) spool. This spool has been designed so it has a large diameter that grows towards the spool head. This means that line can unwind in large even loops, once again reducing the risk of line twist and enabling even longer casts.
Infinite Anti-Reverse ensures that you don’t experience any unwanted backplay on the handle when for solid hooksets, and Cast Lock makes sure the opened bail stays locked in position during your cast. The Hyper Tournament front drag system reacts to each movement and works to protect hook holds no matter the size of your fish. Four standard ball bearings plus an additional corrosion resistant ball bearing ensures that not only does this reel operate incredibly smoothly but it also extends the lifespan of the reel. Any point at which two moving objects interact creates an area of friction, which in time wears the material. Ball bearings work to disrupt this area of friction and, in doing so, reduce the speed at which wear occurs. In real terms, this means that the lifespan of the Daiwa Whisker Match Reel is significantly longer than that of a like for like reel which does not feature these ball bearings.
Available in two sizes, this is a
match reel to suit all occasions. The smaller 2508 is the perfect tool for float and medium feeder fishing, whereas the 3012 is best suited for bigger fish work with bigger feeders.
