BG Equipped with an enormous Digigear drive gear and an aluminium body, the BG (Black Gold) is a reel built for the toughest battles. Fitted with the latest ATD carbon disk drag system, this reel is more than a match for the hardest fighting fish. The spool sits on a quality ball bearing that keeps the drag running smoothly. Finally, the Air Rotor has an aerodynamic arch profile that keeps the reel fluid and balanced when turning.   Features: ATD drag technology with carbon disks Bearings: 6+ 1 Aluminium body and polycarbonate Air Rotor Aluminium spool CrossWrap line lay One-piece unscrewable aluminium handle Manual close pick-up     Hightlights ATD carbon drag Robust Huge drive gear   Reference Handle Ratio (:1) Cm per turn Weight (g) Capacity (m/mm) Drag (kg) Spool BG4500 T+ 5,7 109 625 260/0,40 10 J344801 BG5000 T+ 5,7 120 640 350/0,40 10 J322801 BG6500 T+ 5,3 123 835 340/0,45 15 J338601 BG8000 T+ 5,3 135 850 500/0,45 15 J311701       ATD Drag       The ATD boasts discs which have been impregnated with a specialist grease to optimise energy yield. This exceptionally high-quality product gives more grinding power at the start and offers a more stable and progressive drag. The risk of breaking off on the fight is kept to a minimum as the ATD adjusts to every phase of the fight: working faster and more progressively on the first run but offering a firmer hold for cranking power in the middle phase. It’s this adaptive feature that gives it its Automatic name. Smoother, more controlled fights are guaranteed with the Daiwa ATD. Locking the knob is more accurate and the inner base of the spool fits better onto the shaft to reduce drag pulsing.   AIR ROTOR DESIGN           The Air Rotor weighs up to 15% less than ordinary rotor designs. Its unique shape reduces unnecessary weight while distributing stress more evenly throughout the rotor for maximum strength.     HARDBODYZ®   We have the perfect metal alloy, we have a more precise processing and we have the knowledge for building precise, durable and very lightweight metal reels.  We call this technology the HardBodyZ Concept. These reels have a technological advantage and they are not - compared to other synthetic reels - more expensive and in comparison to our traditional reels they have an economic price.   DIGIGEAR II       The Digigear II comes with larger helicoid teeth for increased smoothness and longer lifespan.   Cross Wrap This technology cross wraps the line around the spool for optimised offloading on the cast. This is absolutely key to preventing tangles and linespin.     Infinite Anti Reverse The new Infinite Anti Reverse system is activated with 4 times less force than a classic system. Less than 2g is needed to engage the Real Stopper system which eliminates any handle movement, bringing sensitivity to the next level.     Silent Oscillation The perfect tuning of the contact points between helicoid and straight teeth create an energy yield close to 99% and silent rotation. Daiwa gear trains offer superior winding smoothness.         Air Bail  The hollow Touch Air Bail is made from SUS303 steel and is 20% tougher than a solid titanium bail of the same weight, and with a lifespan 13 x longer.       Twist Buster II The TB2 pickup roller has been developed by Daiwa and precision toOLED to guarantee optimal line lay. The system reduces the risks of linespin on the retrieve by 90%.                 ABS II In contrast to classic cylindrical spool designs, ABS spools are tapered to limit the risks of tangling on the cast. What’s more, the lip reduces friction to boost casting distance. The new ABSII design has been optimised to let you reach record distances on the cast.      Engine Plate  The side plates either side of the body protect the mechanics and boost the lifespan of your reel.     Double Infinite Anti-Reverse       A mechanical anti reverse reinforces the standard infinite reverse for heavy fishing.
