DAIWA RYOGA 2018 Model year

"Rolling" changes. The birth of the new RYOGA with a “DR design Ethat realizes “Fishing E

The strong and tough RYOGA is reborn. RYOGA's unique ultra-high-rigidity, high-precision machine-cut super metal housing has undergone a unique precision machine-cut for a new light-grip housing that pursues palming performance. And winding sensitivity that surpasses conventional fishing. Even obstacles in the water are clearly transmitted, and even the story of catching big bass is realized. That is the "DR (Detective Rotation)" design, a new design concept that pursues "winding" sensitivity. The Crazy Cranker model, which is ideal for scrolls, is the true value of the new RYOGA. Furthermore, it adopts a mag shield ball bearing that protects against rust, and an ATD (with a click sound). Here is the cutting edge of the DAIWA round reel that also supports salt.

DAIWA's new challenge

The first generation RYOGA was born in 2009 under the name of the legend of toughness. Equipped with REAL FOUR for the first time in a bait reel, the round shape boasts excellent functional beauty with the tough digital gear hidden inside and the machine cut super metal housing on the outermost layer. So to speak, the revolutionary fusion of a large displacement engine and an ultra-rigid body is still being talked about today, and its overwhelming strength and durability need not be talked about now.
Nine years later, DAIWA bait has gone through a turbulent era. HLC for long throw, AIR for bait finesse, and SV and TWS for trouble-free and comfortable performance. It is known that both sought the evolution of castability and focused on increasing the number of encounters with one fish that could not be reached until now. The best usability obtained only by accelerator and brake work without requiring complicated shift work. Is it easy to understand if it is an automatic car that anyone can drive?
In 2018, DAIWA sought the next RYOGA, an unknown area that could be called Kansei engineering. Along with making full use of the state-of-the-art reel technology that we have accumulated over the years, we have taken on the challenge of improving the quality of sensibility that cannot be expressed numerically. that is…

A new design concept called DAIWA's unique "DR (Detective Rotation) design" that directly connects rotation performance to fishing results. The basis of this was the optimization of the engine with higher output and the body structure.
The HYPER MESH gear system achieves 1.5 times higher gear tooth surface meshing precision than conventional gears, and by increasing strength, it maintains the ultimate in smoothness and light rotation. While strengthening the housing that supports the large gear, the side plate structure on the palming side is thin and compact. It realized a one-piece structure that allows you to feel the spool rotation more directly.
Smooth winding comfort and reliable grip. It was a surprising advantage that the angler got the moment he put it in his hand and started winding it.

The optimum solution for the sensibility of winding sensitivity. Based on the evolution of the gear and body, the new type long handle of forged aluminum with high metal density and the high-grip knob that is thin and not slippery without being unnecessarily large realizes torqueful and smooth handling. Furthermore, the hard SiC line guide clearly transmits vibration from the line to the hand. With everything assisting and synergizing with each other, RYOGA's rotation performance succeeded in detecting even the slightest change in the water.
Naturally strong, high rotation performance alone is meaningless. DAIWA's new challenge "DR Design" will open up the next world standard for round shape baits.
