DAIWA 26 Ryoga 150PL

In addition to the "HYPER ARMED HOUSING," a high-precision, high-rigidity housing made using machine-cut manufacturing methods, a RYOGA staple, the reel also features the "HYPERDRIVE DIGIGEAR."
The synergistic effect of these two components delivers virtually eliminates rattle and rigidity, along with silky, powerful reeling performance.
The brake concepts are clearly defined for both the 100 and 150 models. The 100 employs the SV concept, while the 150 employs the LC concept. Both models also feature the "BOOST SYSTEM."
The 100 (with SV BOOST) reduces line float and achieves a stable trajectory, even with lures that have high air resistance. It delivers smooth extension in the latter half of the cast without relying on force.
The 150 (with MAG-Z BOOST) accurately suppresses excessive spool rotation in the first half of the cast, which can easily occur when using medium to heavy lures. This stabilizes the lure's position, enabling long-distance casting that cuts through the wind.
This design, with meticulous attention to detail in the gear ratio, maximizes the ultimate in reeling action.
The machine-cut design creates a masculine appearance and presence. This reel truly surpasses all others in this pinnacle of round reels. A meticulous product for anglers passionate about reeling and all RYOGA fans.

Improved rotational durability
Compared to the 18RYOGA, rotational performance declines less even with heavy loads and accumulated load over time.
The HYPERDRIVE DIGIGEAR featured in the 26RYOGA delivers smooth rotation and superior gear durability.

High-precision, high-rigidity housing made with machine-cut technology
"For reeling, choose RYOGA"
The high-precision, high-rigidity housing, crafted with machine-cut technology, is a hallmark of every RYOGA. The Hyper Drive design provides a firm feel and smooth rotation, fully supporting anglers who prioritize their reeling style.

New Spool Shape (150)
After extensive field testing, we've adopted a new narrow spool shape. By designing the line release angle 3.4% shallower, it improves the feel of the line during casting. By optimizing the balance between spool diameter and width while maintaining sufficient line capacity, we've achieved a smoother trajectory.

2.0mm Stainless Steel Reel Foot
We focused on achieving a mere 0.5mm thickness for the reel foot, changing it from the previous 1.5mm to 2.0mm. This completely eliminates rattle during casting, when using high-load lures, or when fighting. Furthermore, the material has been changed from aluminum to stainless steel, ensuring the same strength as a round spinning reel for saltwater fishing. This uncompromising design ensures unwavering rigidity.

Drag Pull Click
We pursued high drag performance for catching big fish, aiming for not only maximum drag but also the smoothest operation in its class, tracking the fish's pull. What's more, the reel is equipped with a drag pull click. This audible alert notifies anglers of the line system's critical response to sudden fish thrusts, providing a significant advantage.

Description
The spool features a φ36mm high-strength aluminum MAG-Z BOOST. High-strength aluminum was selected after extensive field testing of various materials.
By ensuring the necessary inertia for medium to heavy lures and carrying them across medium to long distances, it achieves long-casting performance.
The winding section has been redesigned to optimize the winding state. These synergistic effects enable the smooth trajectory and exhilarating casting feel unique to the LC concept. Two gear ratios are available: 5.3 (59cm per handle rotation), suitable for deep cranks, magnum cranks, large topwater lures, and even mid-water dead walking and cranking with big baits; and 7.3 (82cm per handle rotation), for deep-water retrieve styles requiring a higher gear ratio and for prioritizing big bait operability. It provides a comfortable user experience for heavier-weighted retrieve styles. The 7.3 (150H/HL) gear ratio is equipped with a 100mm long handle and Power Light M medium knob. This special specification supports light winding even under heavy loads and during reeling jerks. This reel meets the requirements for handling thick lines (20lb nylon, 100m PE #4, 100m) to prevent line breakage during casting with large lures and other heavy objects. Naturally, it also boasts specifications suitable for saltwater fishing.
