A versatile, high-performance electric reel perfect for boat anglers who want to enjoy a wide range of targets with ease. It is equipped with every one of DAIWA Technology’s most proven features, including the Power Lever—which allows you to control the reeling speed as intuitively as an accelerator—the Synchro Level Wind system, which enables you to strike fish at your target depth faster than anyone else, and the Super Spool FREE mechanism. With a compact body achieved through an FF motor structure designed for ease of hand-held operation, it is well-suited not only to popular boat-fishing species such as Sea Bream, Squid, Cutlassfish, Horse Mackerel, Mackerel and Flounder, but also to a wide variety of other targets.
*For PE line only.
*The L-shaped knob can be replaced.

DAIWA Technology
CRBB
These ball bearings feature a surface modification treatment applied to stainless steel BBs to enhance their rust resistance. They offer excellent rotational performance whilst being highly resistant to rust, helping to maintain the reel’s original performance for longer, particularly when used in saltwater environments.
Other Features
SYNCHRO LEVEL WIND
A mechanism whereby the level wind’s left-to-right reciprocating motion is synchronised with the spool’s rotation, both during the descent and reeling of the rig. Not only does this ensure the line remains neatly wound, but the movement during descent also facilitates a smooth descent of the rig.
FF structure
The front-motor design positions the motor—which could be described as the ‘engine’ of an electric reel—at the front of the spool, resulting in a low-profile reel that is comfortable to hold and easy to use. As the motor unit is more exposed to the outside air, this also contributes to improved cooling.
Product Details
FF Configuration & Belt Drive
The front-motor design, which positions the motor—essentially the ‘engine’ of an electric reel—at the front of the spool, has made it possible to design the body with a low-profile, easy-to-hold shape. Furthermore, by transmitting power from the motor to the spool via a Belt rather than gears, this design contributes to quiet operation, light weight and high efficiency.
Ultra Spool FREE & Synchro Level Wind
The Ultra Spool FREE system, which allows the spool to rotate smoothly even under light load, proves particularly effective in squid fishing—where the descent speed of the rig is crucial—and in other fishing styles using light tackle. However, if the line and the level wind are misaligned as the rig descends, this naturally creates resistance, slowing the descent and potentially causing damage to the line. All of DAIWA’s electric reels are equipped with the Synchro Level Wind function, whereby the level wind moves left and right in synchronisation with the line release. As this prevents any unnecessary strain, it ensures a smooth and rapid descent of the Rig.
Waterproof Tournament Drag
A well-balanced drag system that combines a smooth initial engagement to prevent line breaks with a Drag Force that won’t give way under pressure. By preventing water ingress, it maintains the drag’s initial performance over the long term.
Other Features and Specifications
| Function Name | Features |
|---|---|
| Die-cast aluminium body | The high-rigidity, low-deformation aluminium body firmly supports the drive section, including the motor, to assist in powerful fights. |
| Quick reeling switch | A Quick reeling function that allows you to reel in at a preset speed simply by pressing the switch, ideal for finding the depth or taking up Slack Lines. |
| Master Jigging / Jigging Switch | A handy function that allows the electric reel to perform the jigging action during baiting. You can freely set the jigging amplitude, pause time and range, enabling you to tackle the fish exactly as you wish. |
| Groundbait Timer & Groundbait Timer Winding | You can set the time from when the Rig is cast until it is retrieved, enabling precise and efficient casting. The timer display function allows you to accurately track the time since the Rig was cast. |
| Selectable Gunwale Stop | A function that automatically stops the electric reeling once the set length has been reached. Setting it to a length convenient for retrieval doubles your efficiency and helps prevent line entanglement, a major cause of Rod damage. |
| Line Feed Mechanism | A function where the motor gear reverses when the Rig is dropping, assisting the rotation of the Line Spool. Combined with the Ultra Spool FREE feature, this is effective for fishing styles where you want to drop the Rig as quickly as possible. |
| Washable | Can be washed with water using a neutral detergent (however, submersion and the use of hot water are strictly prohibited). |
| Display Calibration Function | A function that allows you to easily calibrate the counter display whilst fishing if it becomes misaligned with the line colour. |
| Top-to-Bottom/Bottom-to-Top Counter | As water depth can be measured from both the surface and the bottom, you can find the correct depth accurately in any situation and for any type of fish. |
| Memory backup function | A backup function that retains the settings selected in each mode for your next fishing trip. |
| Alarm ON/OFF | Allows you to switch the alarm and switch sounds on or off. |
| Anti-Detachment Spool-FREE Adjustment Dial | A spool-free adjustment dial designed so that the spool will not come off even if it loosens unnoticed. |

*This product is for PE line only. Please do not use nylon or Fluoro line, as this may cause the spool to break.
*The minimum PE line size that can be entered is No. 3 or above.
*The minimum PE line size that can be entered is No. 3 or above.
*The reel capacity is a guide only and may vary depending on the manufacturer, items and line tension.
*The retrieve length is the amount of line wound in with each handle rotation.
*The maximum winding power is a reference value based on a supply voltage of 13 V and shaft torque. *kg = kgf·cm (for the Mega Twin mechanism, this refers to the power range)
*The standard winding speed is the average speed at which 100 m is wound with a 1 kg load at a supply voltage of 13 V.
*The JAFS standard winding power (power range for the Mega Twin mechanism) and speed are approximate values based on the regulations of the Japan Fishing Tackle Manufacturers Association, assuming a supply voltage of 13V.
*The JAFS standard winding speed refers to the value measured at a supply voltage of 13V in accordance with the Japan Fishing Tackle Manufacturers Association standards. It is the winding speed under no-load conditions at the outer diameter of the Spool.
*The figures in brackets are approximate values based on the use of Super Lithium.
*Regarding the power supply*
This electric reel is compatible with 12V to 16.8V direct current (DC). It cannot be used with power sources outside the specified range, such as 100V alternating current (AC) from a domestic mains supply or 24V DC from boat equipment. Furthermore, due to generators and wiring, the voltage of a boat power supply can easily become unstable, which may cause the reel’s protection circuit to activate, resulting in the reel stopping or rotating intermittently. To ensure the reel performs to its full potential, please use a genuine Daiwa battery designed for electric reels (please check ‘View Details’ for compatible batteries).
