[Product Features / Recommended Points]

● HLC (Hyper Long Cast) Design Focused on Maximum Casting Distance

The HLC specification is designed specifically for long-distance casting. Strong braking is applied at the beginning of the cast to reduce trouble, while the braking force weakens in the latter half to achieve extended casting distance. This setup allows the lure to fly farther the harder you cast, making it ideal for long casts with medium to heavy lures.

● Equipped with MAG-Z BOOST for Even Greater Casting Distance

Features a φ36mm G1 Duralumin MAG-Z BOOST spool. The lightweight yet highly rigid material enables a quick spool start-up, stable rotation, and outstanding casting distance. It is an ideal design for anglers who want to target distant fishing spots.

● Next-Generation “HYPERDRIVE DESIGN”

By enhancing the durability and precision of the gears and internal structure, this design achieves both high initial performance and long-term stability. It maintains smooth rotational performance while delivering strong winding power and durability.

● Smooth Retrieve with HYPERDRIVE DIGIGEAR

The strengthened precision gears provide smooth and powerful retrieval even under heavy loads. This ensures stable operation when fighting large fish or fishing around structures.

● High-Rigidity Body “HYPER ARMED HOUSING”

The aluminum high-rigidity body creates a strong yet compact frame. It maintains precise gear alignment and delivers stable performance over a long period of use.

● Reduced Line Resistance with TWS (T-WING SYSTEM)

Significantly reduces line resistance during casting, improving casting distance, casting accuracy, and reducing backlash. The design is easy to handle for both beginners and advanced anglers.

● Extra High-Speed Gear Ratio 8.1:1

Retrieves approximately 91 cm of line per handle rotation, offering excellent line recovery speed. This improves lure control response and is ideal for fast-paced fishing styles and covering wide areas efficiently.

● Durable Design for Tough Environments

Built with a structure that reduces the effects of salt and includes a highly durable clutch mechanism, making it suitable not only for freshwater but also for saltwater fishing. It maintains stable performance even in harsh fishing conditions.

● Lightweight Yet Powerful

Despite its lightweight design of approximately 190 g, it provides a maximum drag power of around 5.5 kg, allowing it to handle big fish with confidence.

[Summary]

This model condenses the advanced technologies of the “Steez” brand, known as Daiwa’s flagship series. It is a baitcasting reel that combines exceptional casting distance, smooth retrieval, and durability at a high level. The overwhelming casting performance of the HLC concept, the high rotational performance of the MAG-Z BOOST spool, and the long-lasting high performance of HYPERDRIVE DESIGN provide anglers with a strong advantage in lure fishing, including bass fishing. For anglers who want to accurately target distant spots and demand high-level operability, this reel can expand the possibilities of their fishing experience.
