Daiwa 22 EXIST

Weighing in at 220g, this reel is engineered to minimize physical strain. The lightweight construction is specifically designed to reduce fatigue, allowing you to maintain focus and control during extended days on the water.

With a gear ratio of 5.2 and a winding length of 87 cm (approximately 34.25 inches) per rotation, the reel offers a balanced retrieve speed. It provides enough power for steady, controlled movement while remaining quick enough to manage slack line effectively.

Yes, the reel features an advanced drag system with a 10 kg maximum drag capacity. This provides the consistent, smooth pressure needed to tire out trophy fish without risking line breakage.

The 22 EXIST utilizes 13 ball bearings in total (12/1 configuration). This high bearing count is critical for the reel's exceptionally smooth rotation and precise gear engagement, ensuring that every turn of the handle feels fluid and responsive.

The 54 mm spool diameter is optimized to improve casting distance and line management. A larger spool diameter generally helps reduce line memory and friction as the line leaves the reel, resulting in smoother, longer casts.
