DAIWA 25 Kohga IC 150-C

For all anglers who are fascinated by sea bream
The brand name comes from the beautiful "red color" of sea bream and the sharp "fans" of sea bream biting into its prey. Because sea bream is a special fish that never ceases to fascinate us, we challenge it head-on with respect and serious tactics. "Kouga" embodies this feeling. Its domains are tairaba and taitenya. Both are styles that face a single sea bream and challenge it one-on-one. "Hook and catch more reliably" To meet the desire of such anglers, DAIWA studies fishing and makes it a reality.
"Kouga" will continue to move forward to bring victory and exhilaration to all anglers who are fascinated by sea bream.

Reeling itself is a pleasure. This reel is perfect for red snapper anglers who want to keep reeling
The standard size of the red fang IC 150-C for the red fang game, compatible with DAIWA CONNECTED, has been released. The design concept that forms the basis of the red fang reel is the next-generation bait reel technology, "Hyper Drive Design". The rotation performance of the red fang IC 150-C has been improved by increasing the tooth width of the "Hyper Drive Digigear", which is the core of the hyper drive design. It achieves smooth rotation performance from low to high loads. Combined with the adoption of a 130mm aluminum crank handle, it achieves a high level of winding performance, which is the most important in red fang games. The frame, handle side plate, and set plate are made of aluminum alloy, and boast a body rigidity that is safe for fighting with large sea bream and deep red fang, which is premised on high loads. The drag system is equipped with ATD, which expands the adjustment range of the low drag range, which is most frequently used for red fang. And by adopting synchro level wind and electronic drag sound, it achieves smoother line release. It is now possible to handle with more confidence and ease than ever before.
Furthermore, by connecting to a smartphone, you can numerically grasp the winding speed and falling speed, which are important in the red snapper fishing scene. You can improve the reproducibility of the hit speed. You can easily grasp the range of the red snapper fishing in the dotera drift, and it is a machine with improved fighting power. The basic performance has been greatly improved, and the Kouga IC 150-C, which is also compatible with DAIWA CONNECTED, will be a leading machine in the red snapper fishing scene.

DAIWA CONNECTED
DAIWA CONNECTED aims to provide new value to the fishing scene by realizing "easy setup," "evolved functions," and "new experiences."
DAIWA CONNECTED is composed of two technologies, "electric mobile setting" and "DAIWA Connecting System," and refers to "a reel that connects to a smartphone.
" The "DAIWA Connecting System," one of the DAIWA CONNECTED concepts, is installed on bait-casting reels. The "DAIWA Connecting System" can be linked to wirelessly connected reels (products with "-C" at the end of the name), allowing users to check function updates and data obtained from the reel.
In addition, new functions linked to wearable devices (sub-displays and hearables) will be released in 2025. The idea of DAIWA CONNECTED will bring new value to the fishing scene and further expand the fun of fishing.

HYPERDRIVE DESIGN
The next-generation design concept for baitcasting (double-axis) reels, which significantly improves the standard of all basic performance with the aim of maintaining high initial performance for a long time. The Hyper Drive design is composed of up to four technologies. The Hyper Drive Digigear, which maintains smooth rotation for a long time, is a prerequisite, and the Hyper Double Support assists the gear drive to provide strong and light winding. The Hyper Armed Housing strongly supports the internal structure and is resistant to bending and distortion. The Hyper Tough Clutch with an insulating structure continues to operate even in harsh locations and greatly reduces adhesion due to salt. The synergistic effect of these technologies continues to provide stable performance in any field.

HYPERDRIVE DIGIGEAR
A newly designed gear system that pursues sustained strong and smooth rotation. This is DAIWA's unique technology that achieves an increased meshing rate without reducing the module (size) of the gear teeth, which directly affects durability, allowing the initial smoothness to be maintained for a long time.
Furthermore, the Hyper Drive Digigear of the Kouga IC 150-C has an increased tooth width, providing smooth rotation performance from low to high loads.

HYPER DOUBLE SUPPORT
A drive support system that achieves sustained smoothness and strong, light winding. Both ends of the pinion gear are supported with two ball bearings with high precision, which prevents damping of input from the handle and enables strong, light winding even under load.

HYPER ARMED HOUSING (FULL AL)
The housing system firmly supports the internal structure with high rigidity and precision, producing a precise winding feel and power. The use of metal materials for the frame, which is the essential requirement, is a prerequisite, and in combination with the side plate and set plate, it makes it possible to continue to exert basic performance for an even longer period of time.
This series uses aluminum alloy for the frame, side plate (handle side), and set plate, achieving high winding performance that is comparable to that of round reels.

HYPER TOUGH CLUTCH
Not only does this clutch system have crisp on/off performance that continues to slide thousands or tens of thousands of times, but it also has extremely few problems even in seawater with high salinity. Its cutting-edge insulation structure has already reduced the number of repairs due to sticking in harsh saltwater environments by 99% compared to our previous model.

ATD
The ATD operates smoothly and keeps working smoothly in response to the pull of the fish. It pursues smooth start and tracking, allowing you to concentrate on the fight without worrying about the drag setting.

SYNCHRO LEVEL WIND
This mechanism links the left and right reciprocating motion of the level wind to the rotation of the spool when the rig is being dropped and when it is being reeled in. Not only does it keep the line wound neatly, but the movement during the drop ensures a smooth rig drop.

Electronic drag sound
"Even smoother. High-performance drag for the next generation bait reel."
A function that detects spool rotation and communicates drag operation with an "electronic sound."
The conventional pull-out click (mechanical structure) plays an important role in communicating drag operation to the angler. However, the ratchet structure and sound-emitting pin structure inside the drive gear that produce the sound created physical resistance.
By removing this mechanical structure and installing an "electronic drag sound," it has become possible to achieve both smooth drag performance and a drag sound that is easier to hear.

"No need to worry about unexpected battery failure. Battery replacement is available immediately."
Equipped with a waterproof battery cover that is resistant to scratches.
No special tools are required, and with just a coin you can instantly open and close it, allowing you to replace the battery yourself.
Also, there is no need to re-enter the thread even if you remove the battery. (CR2032 coin battery)

130mm Aluminum handle arm
"Handle arm and handle knob ideal for constant speed winding with emphasis on sensitivity to grasp changes in the tide."
With a focus on winding performance, the long handle has been revamped to be ideal for constant speed winding with emphasis on sensitivity to grasp changes in the tide.
In particular, the 130mm long handle is a special specification that eliminates the weight of winding that comes with an increased gear ratio.
With the 65mm single handle, technique is required to wind at a constant speed, but
with the introduction of the 130mm long handle, light winding and constant speed winding can be achieved even with high gears.
In addition, a new Power Light Knob ML knob has been adopted that prioritizes finger grip.
