The evolution of Daiwa's premium spin reel continues with the Daiwa Certate 24 fishing reel series, delivering a significant leap in performance for Australian inshore and light offshore anglers. At its heart, the new AirDrive Design transforms the front unit's efficiency, while the monocoque body provides unmatched rigidity for both freshwater finesse and saltwater fishing applications.
From chasing bream in estuaries to working soft plastics for snapper on shallow reefs offshore, the Daiwa Certate 24 reel series spans every inshore scenario. The finesse models start at just 170g, while the larger ARK versions pack up to 12kg of drag for tackling serious inshore species like barra, mulloway or murray cod.
Key Features:
- AirDrive Design System: The latest evolution in Daiwa's front-end technology reduces rotational mass while maintaining structural integrity. The system combines an ultralight spool, precision bail design, and advanced rotor geometry for enhanced casting performance and fishing line control.
- Monocoque Body Construction: Single-piece aluminium construction eliminates the need for traditional side plates, creating more internal space for larger drive gears while improving water resistance. This design provides exceptional rigidity under heavy loads without adding unnecessary weight.
- ATD Type-L Drag System: Advanced Tournament Drag technology is now optimised for lighter line classes, delivering smoother initial drag startup to prevent line breakage. The system includes carbon washers in 5000 series models for enhanced heat dissipation during extended fights.
- MagSealed Protection: Advanced magnetic oil technology forms a complete seal around critical components, preventing saltwater intrusion at the main shaft and line roller (except FC models which exclude line roller mag seal). This technology maintains smooth operation in harsh marine environments, which Australia is renowned for.
- Tough Digigear System: Cold-forged, machine-cut duralumin gearing provides precise tooth engagement and enhanced durability. It is surface-treated for maximum wear resistance and has high-strength pinion gears in XH ratio models.
- Long Cast ABS: The engineered spool lip design reduces line friction during casting, resulting in approximately 5% greater casting distance compared to standard spools. The two-stage edge design optimises line flow for enhanced distance control.
