DAIWA 16 Certate HD 3500SH

Technology. It is an indispensable word when talking about reels. A few decades ago, reels were just a tackle that released and reeled in the line, but today they have become a collection of the latest technologies. The technology even applies to aerospace engineering, and the ideas of the developers are breaking down existing forms one after another. And it is not a self-centered thing that is happy to play with technology. It is something that has always been created because anglers are always pursuing the best for themselves.

MAGSEALED
Equipped with the highest waterproof and dustproof durability ever.
Daiwa's unique technology that prevents seawater and dust from entering the reel, using magnetic oil developed by aerospace engineering to create a wall.
In 2010, it was first installed on the main shaft of the CERTATE. It demonstrates astonishing waterproof and dustproof performance and maintains the initial performance of the reel. It overturned the conventional wisdom of reels and opened up a new era. CERTATE also equipped the line roller with Magseal in 2013. Finally, in 2016, it was fully equipped with Magseal. In addition to the main shaft and line roller, Magseal ball bearings are installed on both shafts of the drive gear. Even the slightest resistance when turning the handle is eliminated. It is the best waterproof, dustproof and durable performance ever. Harsh field, extreme situation. But the angler will not feel any discomfort in the tackle. Magseal on each part maintains the best condition as CERTATE at a high level. The angler just has to face the field.

AIR ROTOR
The lightest ever, led by the evolution of technology.
With the introduction of waterproof and dustproof technology "Magseal", the rotor was released from its waterproof function. It evolved into an arch shape with a smooth curve to improve rotation response and sensitivity. The Air Rotor was born in conjunction with Magseal technology. The Air Rotor encouraged CERTATE to take on the next challenge. It is the weight balance between the left and right sides of the rotor. In the conventional design where the functions were concentrated on the arm holder side, the rotor weight was biased, so it was necessary to add weight to the bail holder side to balance the left and right sides. However, the new air rotor has some of its functions on the bail holder side, so there is no need for unnecessary weight. As a result, it was found that not only does it maintain sufficient rigidity, but it also has further improved rotation performance. As a result, it has produced the lightest rotor ever.

ATD
A new drag system that works smoothly and continuously.
Originally, a drag is an auxiliary device that prevents line breakage. In recent years, light lines have dominated the market, and the traditional fight that uses the elasticity of the rod has become difficult. Tighten the drag to hook. Loosen the drag when the fish runs suddenly. Such a fight should have been widespread. And the demands for drag have changed significantly. ATD is not a drag system that was born from the idea of preventing line breakage. It is a new concept drag system that works smoothly while following the pull of the fish. It does not give unnecessary resistance to the fish, so it does not cause excessive violence. Rather, it continues to give moderate resistance, so you can quickly take away the fish's strength and always take the initiative. It allows the angler to concentrate on the fight. ATD is a new concept aggressive drag technology.

MONOCOQUE BODY
One-piece molded structure that opens up a new era of reels.
The 16CERTATE will feature HD (heavy duty) models in 3500 and 4000 sizes. Offshore for bluefish and black sea bass in the splash of waves. The HD model expands the possibilities of CERTATE and promises powerful fishing. It has the power to face unexpected large fish without flinching. The HD model has been reintroduced after more than 10 years since it was introduced in the lineup of the first CERTATE. What further enhances its power potential is the monocoque body structure, which is only used in HD models. The monocoque body is a new structure that does away with the conventional structure consisting of a body and a body cover, and embeds the gear in the body alone. This succeeds in simultaneously increasing strength and airtightness. The completely asymmetrically designed, completely new shape breaks the conventional wisdom of reel structure and heralds the arrival of a new era.
