Daiwa POWERSURF QD

The Quick Drag system allows you to adjust the drag tension from near-zero to full lock with just a partial turn of the knob. This is particularly useful in surf fishing when you need to switch instantly between letting a fish run and applying pressure to control it.

Yes, the spare spool is identical to the one pre-installed on the reel. This allows you to carry a second line setup—such as a different test weight or line type—and swap it out quickly while you are on the beach.

A 4.1 gear ratio is designed for power rather than speed. It provides the high torque necessary to retrieve heavy rigs or fight large fish through crashing waves without putting excessive strain on the reel's internal components.

The reel is built with durable construction specifically for surf conditions, but like all saltwater gear, it requires regular maintenance. We recommend rinsing it with fresh water after every outing and applying reel oil to the moving parts to ensure longevity.

The Daiwa POWERSURF QD features a 15 kg maximum drag. This is more than enough stopping power for the vast majority of surf-dwelling species, giving you the confidence to turn a fish's head even in heavy current.

At 595 grams, this is a substantial, robust reel built for stability. While it isn't the lightest option on the market, the weight is intentional to balance out longer surf rods and provide the durability needed for demanding conditions.
