Plenty of Features with Light and Tough New Concept
New DAIWA’s concept LT – “Light and Tough” revealed in 2018, affordable plenty of features are installed to the new Gekka Bijin X.
LC-ABS – Long Cast ABS is advanced spool shape from ABS-II which releases lines faster and smoother than ABS-II, that gains cast distance and reduces line troubles, which incredibly works especially for braided lines.
New shape Air Rotor is lightened drastically but strong therefore reeling can be very light and smooth. This also enhances sensitivity from any information under the water.
New High-Grip I-Shape Finesse Knob is also featured, which is light weight and grips on your hand very well to ease controlling.
Air Bail reduces line trouble at the line roller, and enhances its toughness with light weight by hollow structure.
Magsealed is also featured, which is DAIWA’s original water resistance structure with magnetic oil for saltwater heavy duty use, despite its low price.
