DAIWA 16 Iprimi 2004

A lightweight reel with a focus on light rotation and smooth drag performance, perfect for area trout. Trout experts look for two features in an area trout reel: smooth drag performance and smooth rotation. The Iprimi is equipped with an ATD drag that operates smoothly and continues to work smoothly following the fish's pull. You can land fish quickly while preventing line breaks. This is an essential function for area trout that use light lines such as 2lb. and 2.5lb. In addition, the air rotor provides light and responsive rotation, and the same I-shaped ZAION knob as the high-end Presso model is used to enable smoother retrieval. In addition, the handle length is slightly shorter at 45mm to increase "winding sensitivity". Rods from the same series are also available, so you can coordinate your rod and reel. For anglers who are just starting out in area trout, the Iprimi should be the best choice. Daiwa's waterproof and durable technology "MAGSEALED". Its greatest advantage is that the initial light and smooth rotational feel is maintained for a long time. One of the reasons why the rotation of a reel, which was smooth when you first purchased it, gradually becomes more resistant is the intrusion of water and foreign objects. This is no exception even in freshwater fishing, which has nothing to do with salt. The reel is always at risk of intrusion of fine dust, dirt, sand, etc. due to impurities in the water, as well as wind, rain, and bushwhacking. If such foreign objects get into the gaps in the pinion, they will not only hinder smooth rotation, but also wear out the parts, gradually increasing the resistance during rotation. Even freshwater reels could not escape the fate of such deterioration over time. Magseal solved all these problems at once. By creating a strong oil film with ferromagnetic oil and magnets, it succeeded in maintaining smooth rotation and waterproofing. The effect becomes gradually more noticeable as time passes after the reel is first used. Based on after-sales service data, the number of cases of abnormal rotation noise in the gear part has decreased to about one-third compared to models without Magseal. Smooth rotation performance not only means trouble-free fishing, but also allows you to concentrate on the information transmitted from the line when operating the lure, resulting in a higher quality game and ultimately improved catches. For core anglers who go fishing frequently, as well as Sunday anglers who enjoy fishing occasionally, the benefits of Mag Sealed are immeasurable, as it maintains the smooth rotation performance and excellent sensitivity of the reel for a long period of time without any maintenance after fishing.
