Daiwa 23 Long Beam 35 QD5

The Daiwa 23 Long Beam 35 QD5 is a dedicated surf casting reel built on the lightweight ZAION V platform, designed for long-distance casting with thin PE lines. It features a 35mm long-cast spool with Cross Wrap line lay for reduced backlash and a smooth manual bail system with Cast Lock. Magsealed construction provides reliable protection against saltwater contamination for consistent performance.
