Daiwa 16 BLAST

This reel is designed specifically for saltwater angling where you need extra power and line capacity. It is an ideal choice for targeting larger species like kingfish, snapper, or smaller tuna from the shore or a boat.

With a 4.9 gear ratio, this reel prioritizes torque and cranking power over high-speed retrieval. It allows you to pull in larger, heavier fish with less strain on your arms, retrieving 94cm of line per handle turn.

At 620g, this is a substantial, heavy-duty reel built for durability rather than lightweight finesse. While it is robust enough to handle big saltwater fish, you may find it tiring if you are casting lures continuously for many hours.

Yes, the high-capacity spool is excellent for surf casting, as it holds plenty of line for long-range casts. Its durable construction is also specifically engineered to handle the harsh, sandy, and salty conditions often found at the beach.

The 6/1 bearing system refers to six ball bearings and one roller bearing, which work together to keep the internal gears moving smoothly under load. This configuration ensures the reel remains consistent and reliable, even when you are fighting a hard-pulling fish.
