Daiwa 22 Exist Spinning Reel

The Daiwa 22 Exist Spinning Reel stands as Daiwa's flagship offering, representing the pinnacle of their engineering and craftsmanship. This reel sets a new benchmark for compact spinning reels, embodying the revolutionary AIRDRIVE DESIGN concept. It is meticulously engineered to deliver unparalleled lightness, exceptional smoothness, and precise lure control, redefining performance for anglers across diverse fishing environments.

Integrating up to four key technologies, the 22 Exist is a testament to next-generation design, offering a superior experience for those seeking the ultimate in fishing technology. Whether you are targeting freshwater species or tackling the challenges of saltwater, this reel provides the sensitivity and power needed for outstanding results.

• AIRDRIVE DESIGN: A comprehensive, next-generation spinning reel concept focused on drastically reducing weight and enhancing rotational feel, providing superior lure control and heightened sensitivity.
• AIRDRIVE Rotor: Engineered for incredibly light and nimble rotation, this rotor significantly enhances sensitivity, allowing anglers to detect even the most subtle bites and lure movements with precision.
• AIRDRIVE Bail: Features a reduced diameter and increased strength, resulting in a significantly lighter bail with an optimised angle for smooth line movement and improved casting performance.
• AIRDRIVE Spool: The newly shaped spool skirt, reduced weight, and improved oscillation contribute to better line management and effortless casting, enhancing overall fishing efficiency.
• AIRDRIVE Shaft: Contributes to the reel's exceptionally smooth and refined retrieve, ensuring consistent performance under various fishing conditions.
• Monocoque Body (MQ Body): Provides exceptional rigidity and resistance to flex, ensuring stable gear rotation and long-term durability. This one-piece body design maximises internal space, allowing for a larger, more robust drive gear.
• Tough Digigear: Precision-machined gears crafted from premium Duralumin with a special surface treatment for enhanced hardness. This technology offers virtually noiseless rotation and complete reliability, even under heavy loads.
• MagSealed Technology: Daiwa's proprietary waterproof system, applied to the pinion and line roller, with MagSealed ball bearings on both ends of the drive gear (SF model has MagSealed in the pinion only). This advanced protection safeguards against water intrusion, ensuring consistent performance and extended reel life.
• ATD TYPE-L Drag System: An improved Automatic Tournament Drag system that provides a smooth, continuous response to a fish's pull with enhanced initial response. This allows for confident handling of strong fish, even when using light lines, maintaining control throughout the fight.
• Bearing System: Features 12 ball bearings (14BB for double handle models) strategically placed for optimal performance. This includes CRBB (Corrosion Resistant Ball Bearings) in the pinion (2BB), line roller (2BB), handle knob (2BB, 2x2BB for double handle), spool (1BB), spool metal (1BB), main shaft (1BB), and oscillating gear (1BB), alongside MagSealed ball bearings (2BB) on the drive gear.

The Daiwa 22 Exist is engineered for long-lasting, reliable use across diverse fishing environments, from shorelines to offshore waters. Its premium performance, advanced design, and robust construction make it an essential tool for anglers seeking the ultimate in lure fishing technology and enduring quality.
