Reel for the future.
Created to lead the way and be the centre of attention among DAIWA products. To shape and change the future of the fishing world, AIRDRIVE DESIGN was developed – a pinnacle that all will follow.
To create AIRDRIVE DESIGN, DAIWA first divided the spinning reel into two main parts.
The first is the "rear unit," which includes the body and key internal components, such as the drive gear. By introducing MQ technology and the durable Tough Digigear, which are becoming standard for DAIWA reels, the rear unit has gained high strength and stability.
After developing the rear unit, DAIWA focused on redesigning the key components that make up the "front unit." By redesigning the rotor, spool, and bail assembly, DAIWA has reduced the weight of the front unit in 2022.
Years in the making, AIRDRIVE DESIGN is the result of this new approach. DAIWA has developed an innovative masterpiece that allows anglers to be in complete control. Reduced weight, smooth rotation, and high responsiveness allow the reels to spin freely. All these qualities combined form AIRDRIVE DESIGN.

Reel for the future.
Created to lead the way, the centre of attention amongst DAIWA. To create and change the future of the fishing scene. AIRDRIVE DESIGN was created to be the pinnacle, the one which all will follow.
To begin the creation of AIRDRIVE DESIGN, first DAIWA separated the spinning reel to two key components. The first was the ‘rear unit’ which consists of the body & key internal components like the drive gear. By introducing MQ technology along with the tough digigear which is now becoming standard of DAIWA’s spinning reel, it has given the rear unit high strength and durability.
Following the development of the rear unit, DAIWA set out to redevelop the key components that make up what is called the ‘front unit’. By redeveloping the rotor, spool & bail assembly DAIWA has managed to reduce the weight of front unit in 2022. Years in the making, AIRDRIVE DESIGN is the result of this new thinking. DAIWA has developed an innovative masterpiece allowing anglers to be in total control. Reduced weight, smooth rotation and high response allows the reel to spin freely. All of those combined elements come together to create AIRDRIVE DESIGN.
