DAIWA Z Black LTD 2020SHL

The "Z" series boasts exceptional power thanks to its ultra-high-precision super metal housing and tough digital gear, and is called "the strongest reel in low-profile fishing" by some heavy users. It can comfortably handle thick fluoro lines over 16lb. and PE lines over No. 3, which tend to be stiff, and achieves outstanding casting distance. This reel was created for monsters, and its power is unmatched when fighting with super-large fish. It can easily handle not only ranker bass, but also saltwater bluefish and large rockfish such as grouper. The "BLACK LTD" has increased drag tenacity to ensure a maximum drag force of 6kg and comes with a chloroprene reel bag.
*Handle knob S can be replaced.
*Salt compatible.

TOUGH DIGIGEAR
To endure harsh environments, a reel needs a strong heart to support it. "TOUGH DIGIGEAR" keeps the smooth rotation for longer.

UTD (Ultimate Tournament Drag)
This is a Daiwa drag system that eliminates the initial bite when the drag first starts working, achieving a smooth drag without stickiness (unevenness), while also providing maximum drag power the more you tighten it.

Magforce 3D - Three modes allow you to dynamically adapt to the field conditions. You can also fine-tune the mag dial in 20 steps

There are limitations to the lures that one unit can handle, such as for light lures, heavy lures, and long-distance casting. The SV concept can be used comfortably with light to heavy lures, but it is hard to say that it is the best for thick lines and power games. Therefore, Daiwa's original brake system "Magforce 3D" allows you to adjust the magnetic field from the magnet side, allowing for more complex brake settings.

There are three brake settings, and you can switch between "MAX BRAKE", "ALL ROUND", and "LONG CAST" in order of strength. By changing the distance between the magnetic field and the inductor rotor, the braking effect becomes complex and can be set more finely. As a result, one unit can handle a wide range of lures and locations in power games when using thick lines. It can also be fine-tuned, and has the potential to achieve the longest casting distance under any conditions.

MAX BRAKE brings the lure closer to the spool, while LONG CAST brings it completely free.

The Magforce 3D allows you to set the MAG to three positions with a single lever, allowing you to respond instantly to lure weight and situations.

MAX BRAKE is suitable for big baits, lures that are difficult to cast, and headwinds, because the inductor rotor is fully inserted into the magnetic field from the beginning, so the brake is always on from the first half to the second half of the cast. ALL ROUND is suitable for mid-class lures in general. LONG CAST is the opposite, and is only affected by the magnetic field when the inductor rotor is released, so it is suitable for lures that are easy to cast and tailwinds. Some anglers prefer this setting when they want more power in the second half of pitching.

Power Gripping Concept
"If the reel is too compact, you can't put any force into fighting a monster"... These words carry weight from someone who only targets monsters. Compact reels are important for operability, but in situations where you are targeting record-class monsters, a completely different gripping concept is required from the reel. The silhouette of the Z has a certain purposeful shape... that is, it can be said to be the ultimate shape that is designed to give you control during the fight. By holding the entire reel including the rod grip and gripping it firmly, you can always take the lead during the fight.

Ultra-high-rigidity super metal housing
The housing of a bait reel consists of three parts that support the spool: the frame, side plate, and set plate. The housing can be said to be another heart that supports cutting-edge high-precision parts such as the Tough Digigear and Real Precision Spool. The ultra-high-rigidity super metal housing, made of the special aluminum alloy Super Metal, the ideal housing material developed by Daiwa, makes the legend of its strength unshakable.

Ultra-lightweight super duralumin real precision spool
The spool of a baitcasting reel is a rotating part that rotates at over 30,000 rpm. Therefore, if there is an error in the balance between the shaft and the outer circumference of the spool, the spool will move wildly during casting, not only impairing the casting feel but also causing a decrease in casting distance. The real precision spool, which was created by a method of machine cutting evenly from both sides and has an error of several times that of conventional spools and a few microns, has realized a stable line release performance that is always quiet and stable in the palm of the angler's hand, as well as overwhelming long-distance casting performance. The ultra-lightweight super duralumin material provides further long-distance casting performance, the ability to handle lightweight lures, and a smooth casting feel, supporting exhilarating casting pleasure.

Salt Barrier Tough Clutch
When using a baitcasting reel in saltwater, the clutch tends to stick due to electrochemical corrosion caused by salt water, that is, corrosion caused by the potential difference between metals. This system is an innovative insulating clutch structure that was developed during the development of the Ryōga, and has succeeded in dramatically reducing problems caused by electrochemical corrosion. It also works in tandem with the tough and rigid clutch, which is significantly stronger than the conventional one, to prevent the clutch from returning when the handle moves unexpectedly due to the momentum when casting.

High Speed Level Wind
The trouble caused by the line being loosely wound on the reel is particularly noticeable when using thick fluorocarbon or PE lines. The high speed level wind slides at twice the speed of a normal bait reel, greatly reducing such trouble. As a result, the trouble of the upper line digging into the lower line on the winding surface is greatly reduced, resulting in comfortable fishing performance.

Distance from spool to level wind
The space between the line and the spool is slightly larger than in previous models, minimizing interference with the frame. Smooth line release provides a floating cast feel without noise or shaking.

Frictionless level wind
Excellent line release performance, easy passage of thick knots even when using a leader, line guide shape designed for long distance casting, and level wind system that places the line at a distance from the spool to reduce resistance when releasing the line.
