Brand new Daiwa Windcast Z 5500 reel.
Daiwa’s Windcast series is famous for its fast distance casting reels
that suit across the disciplines. The Windcast Z reel is just one of the
reels in this exceptional Windcast series and, although it shares a
spool taper with the other reels in the series, it features some
incredible additional features which really place this reel head and
shoulders above the competition.
With eight smooth running ball
bearings, which have been especially designed to be resistant to
corrosion, this reel is highly durable and creates very little friction
when in use. This reel also features a QD (quick drag) function, which
enables those anglers who target big fish to engage drag with less than
one turn of the drag knob.
The Windcast Z, like the other reels
in the Windcast range, comes fitted with a HIP (high impact) clip and a
built-in cushion on the pin provides a line location that is both
secure and forgiving – allowing you to cast on the button each time. Air
Bail, Daiwa’s innovative tubular stainless steel bail, gives incredible
rigidity without impacting on the weight of the reel. This means that
even a loose line can slide easily down the bail to the roller without
snagging or hooking up. This Air Bail system, as well as Daiwa’s
intuitive Cast Lock, comes fitted as standard on the Windcast Z. In addition, the Twist Buster II technology
reduces the risk of line twist as well as reducing the friction between
the line and roller – extending the life span of both. These features,
paired with a digital gear design, make the Windcast Z a highly
versatile reel which offers incredible speed and power.
We have just 3 of these reels available.
