Fishing Festival 2021 has now started!
Lots of new products are introduced but especially these giant company – DAIWA has announced some of new reels, which everyone may be extremely interested!
Some of reels were already announced by DAIWA official but here are some new reels coming this new year 2021 as a breaking news.
We will then pick up more information later, one by one at the other days.
21 Certate SW
As of our breaking news, DAIWA has announced 21 Certate SW.
This is for bigger saltwater game fishing, with the size variety from #8000 – 18000 with multiple gear ratio.
Aluminium Monocoque Body with fat large drive gear, with ZAION Air Rotor is like 20 SALTIGA body + 15 SALTIGA rotor.
This model will be released at March, 2021 and only 18000-H will be at April.
21 CALDIA LT
Second reel is spinning reel renewal – 21 CALDIA LT.
Personally this is surprising news. Previous 18 CALDIA LT was out at 2018 with DAIWA’s new concept Light and Tough and that’s one of most selling reel from DAIWA so far.
This 21 CALDIA LT is totally refreshed, with Monocoque Body by new material ZAION V, which as DAIWA Official says, stronger but lighter than previous ZAION.
Air Rotor is also made by ZAION V.
Lighter than previous models, but tougher and stronger with MQ Body + larger drive gear, and you can get one at the 20,000 yen and a bit, sounds like great affordable reel for you.
21 FREAMS LT
As well as 21 CALDIA, this FREAMS LT has also been renewed.
This 21 FREAMS is listed as cheaper than 21 CALDIA, but a bit expensive than 18 Legalis LT.
21 FREAMS also uses new ZAION V as body and Air Rotor material, but the biggest difference with 21 CALDIA is the body, 21 FREAMS has existing 2 parts body unlike 21 CALDIA, but instead, cheaper than 21 CALDIA.
21 BASARA
First overhead reel from DAIWA is 21 BASARA.
This overhead reel is designed for offshore fishing, with DAIWA’s new concept Hyperdrive Design – to achieve “Stronger, Lighter and Smoother”.
New Digigear – Hyperdrive Digigear is featured with Hyper Double Support, which is like SHIMANO’s Infinity Drive, that holds pinion gear by 2 ball bearings on both side, therefore the spin can be much smoother.
Full metal housing – Hyper Armed Housing and Hyper Tough Clutch enhances its durability much more.
Gear ratio is only one – 6.3 and the size is #100 / #150 / #200.
Steez A TW HLC
Steez LTD SV TW is already released from DAIWA but new Steez series is out as well – 21 STEEZ A TW HLC.
As well as other new baitcasting reels Hyperdrive Design is featured, but this new Steez has Magforce-Z Boost spool system, which enhance Magforce-Z brake system’s casting distance.
Versatile 21 STEEZ LTD SV TW, and long casting – heavier lures 21 STEEZ A TW HLC, could be the differenced in between those.
21 STEEZ A TW HLC is releasing at March 2021, with 2 gear ratio of 6.3 / 7.1 and right / left handed, and RRP is 50,300 yen.
21 TIERRA A IC
Did you remember that 20 TIERRA IC has been released at the last year.
Now this new 21 TIERRA A IC has been annouced, but the difference is that – Hyperdrive Design is featured with Hyperdrive Digigear / Hyper Double Support / Hyper Armed Housing and Hyper Tough Clutch, and with larger line capacity.
21 TIERRA A IC body size is 150, with different gear ratio of 6.3 / 7.1 with single / double handle, and right / left handed.
Releasing date will be at April 2021, and RRP is 36,300 yen.
21 KOHGA IC
The last one we introduce is DAIWA 21 KOHGA IC.
Previous 18 KOHGA IC only targets TaiRaba – Snapper Rubber Jig fishing therefore only has #100 body size with power gear ratio.
New 21 KOHGA IC is more like 21 TIERRA IC, has larger body size of #150 – PE#1-400m / PE#2-200m line capacity with multiple gear ratio of 4.8 / 6.3 / 7.1, which you can either use for TaiRaba, slow jigging or vertical offshore jigging.
RRP is 38,900 yen and April 2021 debut.
Big surprise has already come up at the first day of Fishing Festival 2021, and luckly, you can also check all those contents from anywhere you live in this year.
