Daiwa 20 IMPULT

The BITURBO system is a lever-brake mechanism designed for immediate, high-torque stopping power. Unlike a standard drag that relies on friction settings, this system allows you to instantly control the spool's rotation with the lever, giving you much faster response times when fighting fish in technical scenarios.

Yes, this reel is saltwater approved. Its robust construction and aluminum frame are designed to withstand the corrosive nature of saltwater environments, provided you rinse it with fresh water after each use.

A manual bail return puts you in complete control of the line management. It prevents accidental bail closure during the cast and ensures that you can precisely position the line on the roller before you begin your retrieve, which is crucial for technical fishing.

At 245g, this reel is quite lightweight for its class, which significantly reduces wrist fatigue during long sessions. The balance provided by the aluminum construction makes it feel substantial without being cumbersome.

The 6.2 gear ratio is relatively high, allowing you to retrieve 93cm of line per handle turn. This speed is ideal for quickly picking up slack line or keeping tension on a fish that is swimming toward you, helping you maintain control throughout the fight.

Yes, the T-knob is specifically engineered for high traction. Its textured surface provides a secure, non-slip grip, which is essential for maintaining control and leverage when your hands are wet or covered in bait.
