DAIWA 16 Blast 4500H

A large spinning reel for offshore lures with improved durability and operability. The "Blast", which has a proven track record as a tough machine that can be used for light jigging casting in coastal waters and shore casting games, has been remodeled with technology inherited from the flagship model "Saltiga". While retaining the rigidity and durability provided by Daiwa's unique "Mag Sealed", which maintains initial rotation performance for a long time, the air rotor, and super metal body, it is equipped with an "ATD (Automatic Drag System)" with the same drag washer configuration as the Saltiga, further improving stability during fights. The lineup also includes 4500 and 5000 sizes for offshore use, so that it can be used in a wider range of situations. MAGSEALED
"Mag Sealed" is a revolutionary structure that uses a magnetic liquid to create the same waterproof structure as a packing type without any contact. In other words, it shuts out seawater by creating a wall of magnetic liquid in the gap between the body and the rotor. Since there is no interference like a waterproof packing, and the body and rotor are non-contact, it is possible to maintain the initial rotation performance for a long time because there is no seawater intrusion.

Air Rotor
An air rotor with a revolutionary structure that can be called a "rotor revolution". The optimal rim structure distributes the load and improves rotor durability. As a result, it is about 15% lighter with the same strength. The rotor balance is also improved, contributing to further improving the rotation feel.

ATD (Automatic Drag System)
A next-generation drag that starts smoothly and continues to work smoothly by following the pull of the fish. Another feature of the ATD for large spinning is that there is little change in power of the drag setting value. Conventional drags would naturally lose drag force during long fights that required drag pulling, or when such fights were repeated. Daiwa has developed a drag that reduces drag force loss. This allows you to concentrate on fighting the fish when it hits, and you can continue to use it without resetting the drag value even when you are hitting large fish that require continuous drag pulling. This drag reduces drag adjustments during the fight, allowing you to catch fish faster while preventing line breaks.

Super Metal Body
Aluminum body specification that emphasizes rigidity inherited from the flagship "Saltiga". In addition, durability has been improved by using high-strength zinc for the gear material. It is a robust specification that can withstand the long-term hard tests of offshore testers.

Digigear II
Daiwa's unique digital design technology "Digigear" has evolved even further. In order to realize the ideal tooth surface derived from digital analysis, ultra-high precision machine cutting technology is used, achieving tooth surface precision several times higher than that of forged gears. The drive gear is wrapped with a special wrapping process, and the pinion gear and drive gear are optimally balanced to improve durability.

Aluminum spool
Lightweight and highly rigid metal spool.

Aluminum machine cut handle
Highly rigid machine cut handle provides a stable winding feel.

ABS II
Spool structure that releases the line without trouble and increases casting distance. The large diameter and reverse tapered winding surface make it difficult for the line to be pushed out from the front of the spool, dramatically reducing line troubles such as backlash. The large diameter spool also contributes to improved winding speed and drag performance. ABS II has revised the spool ring shape to reduce resistance when casting. Longer casting performance has been improved.

Cross wrap
By adopting a twill winding method with a large winding angle, the line is wound crosswise to prevent it from biting into the spool winding section or slipping. The reduction in line trouble is particularly noticeable when using thin thread or PE line, and at the same time, a comfortable cast is achieved.

Air Veil
The veil shape greatly reduces tangled line troubles by sending the line to the line roller so that it flows smoothly. Furthermore, the hollow structure achieves a significant increase in strength without changing the weight.

Twist Buster II
By tapering the line roller and rolling the line, this structure has significantly eliminated the line twist that occurs with the roller rotation, which was said to be the fate of spinning reels.

Rotor Brake
By braking the rotor rotation when the veil is open, this mechanism prevents the veil from accidentally flipping over due to the handle moving due to the shock of casting.

Shower washable
Can be washed with running water. (After washing, maintenance according to the instruction manual is required)
