Daiwa 21 CERTATE SW

This reel is specifically engineered for heavy-duty saltwater angling. Its robust aluminum frame and high-capacity spool make it an excellent choice for targeting large, aggressive game fish that require significant line capacity and a powerful drag system.

The high-rigidity metal body is designed to minimize flex under heavy loads. This ensures that the power you put into the handle is transferred directly to the gears, giving you more control and efficiency when battling large fish.

Yes, the reel is built with materials specifically chosen to resist the harsh effects of salt and moisture. While it is highly durable, we still recommend rinsing it with fresh water after every saltwater outing to maintain its longevity.

A 4.8 gear ratio is on the slower side, which is intentional for this type of reel. This lower ratio provides increased torque and cranking power, allowing you to winch in large fish more easily than you could with a high-speed retrieve reel.

The Daiwa 21 CERTATE SW features a max drag of 25 kg. This is a substantial amount of pressure, designed to handle the intense runs of large offshore species while maintaining a smooth, consistent release.

Yes, the ergonomic EVA round handle knob is designed for a secure, comfortable grip. Its shape allows you to apply consistent pressure during long fights without causing excessive hand fatigue.
