DAIWA 16 Catalina 5000H

A model that can be used for a wide range of fishing, from light jigging to near-shore jigging. Its powerful winding and high operability are unimaginable from its size.

Mag Sealed/Mag Sealed Ball Bearing
Daiwa's waterproof and durable technology, Mag Sealed, shuts out substances such as water, salt, and sand, which are the biggest causes of reel performance degradation, with a magnetic oil wall, and maintains the reel's rotation performance at its initial state. In addition, the line roller is equipped with "Mag Sealed Ball Bearing", which applies this technology to ball bearings, which are the key to rotation performance. No matter how excellent the rotation performance is, it is meaningless if it does not last. The benefit of maintaining initial performance for a long time will be more strongly felt the more you use it in harsh offshore scenes and the longer you have it in your hands.

ATD
A next-generation drag system that continues to work while smoothly following the pull of the fish. It starts off smoother than before, so it is less likely to break the line, and it is less likely to make the fish feel uncomfortable, so it is less likely to cause unnecessary violence. Another feature is that the drag setting has little power change, so you can concentrate on fighting without worrying about the drag force decreasing after the fish hits. Even in situations where large fish are hitting and drag is used continuously, you can continue to use it without resetting the drag value. In other words, it is a drag that "reduces drag adjustment during the fight, and allows you to catch fish quickly while preventing line breaks."

ZAION Air Rotor
Daiwa's unique rotor has achieved a significant weight reduction with the same strength as before by distributing the load with an optimal rim structure with a unique shape. The rotor balance has also been improved, and it responds well to your will, rather than rotating smoothly by inertia, which is like a desk rotation. The material ZAION is a carbon resin woven with high density carbon fibers, and has the ideal characteristics of being high rigidity and lightweight, and unlike metals, it is resistant to corrosion.

Super Metal Body
By applying our unique ultra-precise machine cutting technology to Super Metal, we have achieved approximately four times the precision of the original Saltiga. The material processing method and micron-level assembly technology cultivated in Saltiga have been further evolved, and rigidity has been improved compared to previous models. This results in a silky winding with a greater sense of rigidity.

Hyper Digi Gear
The drive gear material is C6191, which has 1.6 times the strength of duralumin, and the diameter has been increased by one size, dramatically improving strength and durability. The shape of the tooth surface has been fundamentally reviewed through computer analysis, and a manufacturing method that does not allow even microscopic errors has been added to create the Hyper Digi Gear. The ideal meshing with the pinion provides silky rotation and extremely powerful winding power at the same time.

Tafea Veil
The Air Veil is a hollow structure that significantly improves lightness. Furthermore, the unique shape of the line slider significantly reduces line tangles around the veil. The "Tafea Veil" is made of stainless steel with a thicker wall, which increases its strength by about four times, and is about 13 times more durable than solid titanium at the same weight. In addition, by eliminating the step with the arm lever, line trouble is greatly eliminated. (The bail return method is manual)

Power Light Knob
Equipped with a large EVA round knob that is not slippery even when gripped with wet hands. Interchangeable sizes are S size knob for 3500/4000 sizes, and L size knob for 4500 sizes and above.

Aluminum Spool
Lightweight and rigid metal spool.

Aluminum Machine Cut Handle
High rigidity machine cut handle that provides a stable winding feel.

Linear Shaft
The structure supports the main shaft and pinion gear independently, eliminating friction between them and reducing power loss to the limit even when winding under high load.

ABS II
Spool structure that releases the line without trouble and increases casting distance. Large By tapering the winding surface with a larger diameter, the line is less likely 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 and the line from slipping. The reduction in line trouble is particularly noticeable when using thin lines or PE lines, and at the same time, a comfortable flight is achieved.

Air Veil
A veil shape that dramatically reduces line tangle troubles by sending the line to the line roller so that it flows. Furthermore, by making it hollow, it has been significantly strengthened without changing the weight.

Twist Buster II
By tapering the line roller and rolling the line, it has been greatly eliminated the line twist that occurs due to the roller rotation, which was said to be the fate of spinning reels. A structure that improves the rotation feeling and reduces line twisting by installing a BB in the line roller section.

Rotor brake
A mechanism that brakes the rotation of the rotor when the bail is open, preventing the bail from suddenly flipping over due to the handle moving due to the shock when casting.

Perfect double stopper
A safety mechanism that prevents reverse rotation by activating another mechanical stopper in the unlikely event that the infinite stopper does not work due to extremely low temperatures or seawater intrusion.
