DAIWA 17 Kohga TW 7.3R

Drop it faster than anyone with TWS and catch it with certainty with ATD. A highly maneuverable bait exclusively for red snapper lures, with reeling performance completely redesigned. The lightness and strength of the ZAION body firmly supports the silky winding feel of the high-rigidity machine-cut gear. The lineup includes two types: a low gear model with the "RM = Easy Winding" concept that not only makes winding lighter, but also turns on the red snapper's predation switch, and a high gear model. In terms of durability, the pinion gear is equipped with a "Mag Sealed Ball Bearing" that uses Daiwa's unique waterproof and durable technology "Mag Sealed" in the ball bearing, which is the key to rotational performance, to shut out seawater and foreign objects. The TWS (T-Wing System) provides comfortable line release performance, and the ATD (Automatic Drag System) provides unwavering peace of mind even when pulling a large red snapper. This is a gem of a dedicated machine that condenses Daiwa's commitment to red snapper lures, such as adopting a new main frame and side plate developed with palming in mind. RM = Easy Winding Concept: One of the attractions of red snapper lures is the simplicity and clarity of just "dropping and winding". It is because of its simplicity that "winding" is an important factor that determines the catch. Daiwa, together with charter boat captain Kazumasa Nakai, tester who continues to produce results in Kada, Wakayama Prefecture, a fierce battleground for red snapper lures, thoroughly tested the speed that "makes winding more comfortable than ever before" and "makes it easy to produce a speed that catches fish". As a result, they reached the conclusion that a speed of around 50 cm per turn is the most comfortable speed for winding with both low-profile reels and round reels, and is not too slow when retrieving, so it is not stressful. This is the strength that allows you to continue winding without stopping the rotation even with a strong bite from a red sea bream, and it was also found that the retrieval speed is easy to maintain and there are many bites from red sea bream. The gear ratio of 4.9, which can produce this speed, was named the "Easy Winding Concept". On the other hand, the model with a gear ratio of 7.3 also has an important reason for being. When fishing in deep waters or drift fishing, line slack can cause you to miss the first contact with red sea bream. In such an environment, if you want to quickly retrieve the line slack and tighten the line, the high gear specification has an advantage. In addition, it has excellent speed and sensitivity for detecting changes in the tide, so it is recommended to use it according to the area and fishing method.
