About this item

What the maker's numbers say about this model:

  • Gear ratios run from 4.9:1 to 6.2:1; the fastest, SW 4000-XH, takes in 98 cm (39 in) of line per handle turn.
  • Max drag ranges from 12 kg to 15 kg (26.5 lb to 33.1 lb).
  • Every size holds 300 m of PE 2.
  • 10 ball bearings and 1 roller bearing in every size.
  • Japan list price ¥67,000–¥72,700, which is in the top quarter (by Japan list price) of the 93 spinning reel series we list.
  • Daiwa lists these technologies for this generation: AIRDRIVE rotor and bail; MONOCOQUE BODY; TOUGH DIGIGEAR; AIRDRIVE DESIGN; AIRDRIVE shaft; MAGSEALED; ATD TOUGH drag; LC-ABS spool.
  • In plain words: MONOCOQUE BODY — one-piece body with a plate screwed directly into it instead of a screwed-on body cover, for stiffer gear support and better sealing. TOUGH DIGIGEAR — Daiwa's machine-cut drive gear built for strength and smooth rotation. AIRDRIVE DESIGN — Daiwa's design concept for a lighter, more responsive spinning reel; made up of the AIRDRIVE rotor, bail, spool and shaft.
  • Specs are Daiwa's published figures; conversions to imperial are ours.
