Daiwa Exist 22 (G) LT3000-H

We reduced wall thickness as well as unnecessary weight within the Airdrive spool – in combination with the reduced weight of the rotor and the bail, this improves the reel balance and thus enables better lure control.

In contrast to common spinning reels, DAIWA developed a Low-Contact structure between axis and pinion gear – the Airdrive Shaft. Due to implementing this technology, friction gets reduced and the super soft and silent running is optimized.

The Airdrive concept is a combination of these elements, which enables the construction of extremely-lightweight and sensitive spinning reels.

The Airdrive bail is the next evolutionary step within bail design and assimilates perfectly to the Airdrive concept. DAIWA constructed a somewhat slimmer but nevertheless loadable bail which additionally reduces weight at the reel's front. Compared to the 18' Exist, the weight of the latest Airdrive bail is reduced by 33%.

The Twist Buster technology reduces the threat of burdensome line tangling and twist. For the 22' Exist, the well-known Twist Buster II technology has been further improved to the Twist Buster III construction. Due to the new construction the compression of the line during retrieving is reduced, which results in significantly less twist.

Additionally, a MagSealed line roller has been integrated within the 22' Exist, to enduringly resist highest strains even when used at sea fishing.
