MONOCOQUE BODY
Daiwa’s Monocoque (MQ) body is a revolutionary design that redefines spinning reels. Unlike traditional two-part reel bodies, MQ technology features a rigid, one-piece construction that enhances strength, reduces weight, and improves weather sealing. By eliminating the need for a screw-secured sideplate, space is freed up within the body, allowing for the integration of a larger drive gear—up to 85% of the body’s surface area. This results in increased power, durability, and efficiency without making the reel larger. The MQ body serves as a stiff, distortion-proof frame, ensuring exceptional durability even under extreme conditions. The direct screw-in engine plate replaces the traditional sideplate, reducing excess material and reinforcing the reel’s structure. This balance between lightness and strength creates a reel that is compact yet incredibly powerful. A key benefit of MQ technology is the ability to house a significantly larger drive gear, improving torque, power transmission, and longevity. With increased strength and reduced weight, MQ reels offer a smoother, more efficient fishing experience. Daiwa’s innovation in reel design continues to push boundaries, delivering stronger and more compact reels for all anglers.
