Equipped with powerful braking "BITURBO brake". A large LBD that takes advantage of big opportunities.
A large LBD equipped with the "BITURBO brake" that exerts strong braking force with a light force, and Daiwa's original waterproof technology "Mag Shield". The abundant amount of winding line is suitable for mainstream fishing. Even if you hang a large fish in a place full of roots, you can stop running just before the roots and quickly get into an advantageous position. The ``LC-ABS (Long Cast ABS)'' spool with a newly shaped large-diameter drag knob dramatically improves line release. New features include ``ATD (Tough)'' that supports attack and defense in high tension areas, and ``Perfect Line Stopper'' that reliably holds the line.
Specification details
■Equipped with the next-generation brake "BITURBO Brake" The
two important brake operations required for LB reels are ``putting out the line'' and ``stopping the line.'' The purpose of putting out a line when interacting with fish is to reposition the rod to an angle that will create an effective hook. It only takes a moment to reverse the fishing motion, and the basic fishing action is to hold the brake lever for most of the time after hooking a fish. The main aim is to "stop the vehicle firmly with the brakes," which is its original role. image
■Mag shield equipped
The large LB is also equipped with a mag shield.
The large LB used in harsher environments has waterproof durability and maintains initial performance to support comfortable fishing. image
■Spool revolution "Experience the true value" [Equipped with LC-ABS (Long Cast ABS)]
Thorough pursuit of line release while maintaining trouble-free performance. An excellent item that allows the device to fit naturally and has long-distance castability. You can transfer with less force than before without having to cast far. As a result, there is no excess line, making line mending easier and greatly contributing to the operability of light baits that are difficult to catch. image

[Line evolution and spool size]
Nylon line is very popular when fishing for floatfish. The moderate stretch provides a high-quality cushion that supplements the strength of the Harris, and the specific gravity of 1.14, which floats just below the sea surface, softens the effects of wind. These characteristics of nylon are probably why it is suitable for flounder fishing. Nylon used to be said to deteriorate due to water absorption, but advances in additives and coating technology have not only made it less resistant to water absorption, but also dramatically improved its linear strength, knot strength, and abrasion resistance.
Due to the stronger line, it is now possible to use thinner sizes than before. About 30 years ago, if you were aiming for black sea bream (chinu) or big-mouthed fish, the average size was around size 3. Even in Tokushima, which is an advanced area for rock fishing, I think there were only a few people who went as thin as size 2. Even when aiming for long-tailed fish, size 4 or 5 was the norm at the time, and some people used thick thread such as size 6 or 8 in large areas.
What does that mean now? Thin lines such as size 1.5 and size 1.65 have come to be used when aiming for black sea bream (chinu) and wide-mouthed fish, and some anglers regularly use ultra-thin lines such as size 1.35.
It depends on the target size and fishing spot, but size 2.5 to 3 is the norm, and size 2.25 is recommended for threaded fish that can be seen but do not eat, such as those on Uro Island and Nakadomari in Shikoku. There are also cases where it drops.
As lines for floatfish fishing have become thinner, shallow groove type spools for Daiwa LB reels have also become popular. Models after "Tournament LBA" have unified spool standards, so "Tournament LBD", "Impulto", "Ginro LBD", "Playso", and "Triso" use spools with different winding thread amounts in one body. can do. All of the above models can be stocked with 200 m of nylon No. 3 and 150 m of nylon No. 4 by attaching a No. 3000 spool, and one body can handle not only black sea bream (chinu) and mouth fat, but also long tail and red sea bream. It is possible to.

[The value of large LB reel]
Daiwa LB reels used to have large items such as No. 850 (current No. 3500) and No. 1000 (current No. 4000). A large LB that follows this trend is the "Onaga Monster". If you apply the conventional count, it is 4000. Nylon No. 4 has an overwhelming line capacity of 250 m, No. 5 has a line capacity of 200 m, and No. 6 has an overwhelming line capacity of 150 m.
You can wrap 150m of No. 4 nylon even with No. 3000. In addition, today's No. 4 nylon is much stronger than it was a few years ago, and even in situations where the strength of No. 5 or No. 6 was required in the past, No. 4 should be enough to overcome the situation. Given this, why is a large LB necessary?
The reason for this is the amount of thread wound. However, the interpretation is slightly different from the past winding amount. The important thing is that even the same No. 4 nylon can be wrapped over 200 meters.
In recent years, the long-tailed fish are often eaten near the shore or at points where the tide is slack, perhaps due to their belly-curved shape, but they are originally fish that feed in fast-moving tides. If you try to float your bait into the main stream on a remote island with good current, your rod may suddenly be snatched away. Similarly, red sea bream is a fish that can be fed by baiting the bait along the tide at 100m or 150m.
As those who have experienced mainstream fishing may know, long-tailed fish and red sea bream are often caught relatively far away. The 100m line is rough, and sometimes it bites hard after 150m. Monsters with long tails over 60 cm, and red sea bream with meter class, rush to the bottom of the tide from here.
Large migratory fish will also be eaten in areas with good tides. As soon as the line is hooked, it pulls out the line with incredible horsepower. If it stops within 50m, it's a sign. Even if it stops, there is a possibility that it will continue to run from here.
Large long-tailed fish, red sea bream, migratory fish... Will nylon No. 4 be competitive at 150m? When attacking fast currents such as the main stream, the amount of thread on the reel determines whether or not you can catch a fish.
The large diameter spool of a large reel also has the advantage that the line is less likely to get curly. Another advantage of a large LB is that it can be reeled in faster than a small reel even with the same gear ratio, and its characteristics are fully demonstrated even in close combat near the shore.
The second generation "Onaga Monster" has many specifications and technologies, but two of them can be said to be major advances: the "BITURBO brake" and the "mag shield."
The action of sending out the line is "defense", and the abundant amount of thread can be thought of as "insurance". However, you cannot catch fish just by protecting the fish. Especially if you are dealing with a large fish, you will receive a harsh counterattack just after giving yourself a slight opening. The powerful braking force of the BITURBO brake allows you to instantly go from defensive to offensive, allowing you to concentrate on rod work.
Magshield is a technology that is now included in many Daiwa reels. Daiwa's unique shielding technology has been adopted in the "Onaga Monster" for the first time as a large LB.
A large LB with powerful brakes and toughness. I'm sure there are fish that can only be caught by long-tailed monsters.
