DAIWA 15 Catalina BJ 100HL

The compact body fits snugly in the palm of your hand, and yet it has more operability and durability than you can imagine. The robust body, formed by ultra-precise machine cutting of solid aluminum material, and the intricate gear system inside provide a smooth, light, yet powerful retrieval feeling. The trouble-free synchro level wind and convenient spool exchange mechanism further ensure ease of use. The reel, which has an unshakable sense of security, drives freely as if it were a part of your arm, and is an irreplaceable weapon for anglers who aim to reach the next level in jigging games. The 100 and 200 sizes have the same body diameter but different widths. Both sizes have a low profile design with a height of 49 mm, so they have excellent holdability that allows you to grip them firmly. Catalina Bay Jigging is a reliable companion that allows you to enjoy the thrill of bay jigging to the fullest, competing with sea bass, hairtail, and sometimes meter-class bluefish with simple tackle.
Handle knob S can be replaced.
Salt compatible.

Large star drag with micro-pitch click
Equipped with a micro-pitch click that allows for more delicate drag adjustment, assuming the use of light lines. It also uses a large star drag that makes drag operation easy.

Clutch structure that is resistant to salt adhesion
A structure that uses resin parts for insulation is used to prevent electrolytic corrosion that occurs when metals come into contact with each other during operation.

Synchro level wind
When the clutch is released to release the line, the level wind moves left and right in sync with the rotation of the spool. The advantage is that there is less resistance to the release of the line, allowing for faster release. In addition, the load on the line is reduced, which helps reduce problems such as backlash.

Offset handle arm
The 200 size uses an adjustable (75mm/85mm) crank handle arm. For example, the handle length can be changed depending on the type of fishing, such as 85mm for excellent power transmission when power fishing, or 75mm for delicate fishing that prioritizes operability.

Real Gripping Concept
The ideal form is achieved by applying a unique precision machine cut to a highly rigid super metal housing. Through repeated field testing, the shape was carefully designed to provide gripping and ease of thumbing during actual fishing. Although it is round, it features an excellent low profile and holding performance.

Speed shaft type spool
The spool is supported only by the bottom bracket. The shaftless design eliminates excess resistance, resulting in ideal spool rotation. The spool has good response, allowing the use of lighter lures and jigs. It is also ideal for severe fishing where you frequently bottom out.

HYPER ARMED HOUSING (FULL AL)
This series uses aluminum alloy for the frame, gear side plate (handle side), and dial side set plate. It is a full metal housing specification that realizes unparalleled strength.

Spool replacement mechanism
Simple structure that allows the side plate and spool to be attached and detached by adjusting the screws on the body on the handle side. If you have a spare spool ready, you can use lines of different thicknesses depending on the situation and respond immediately to unexpected line breaks. Another major benefit of this structure is ease of maintenance.
