Daiwa Certate SW 14000-XH Spinning Reel
The legendary Daiwa Certate toughness now conquers the large-size game fishing market with the introduction of the Certate SW. This powerhouse reel is built for serious anglers targeting large pelagic species.
Key Features
- Monocoque Body: A single-piece body design for exceptional rigidity and gear support, maximizing power transfer and durability. The elimination of the body cover allows for a larger drive gear, significantly increasing power.
- G1 Duralumin Tough Digigear: A massive, robust gear boasts a 12% increase in outer diameter and a 55% increase in thickness compared to previous models. This translates to incredibly smooth, powerful cranking, even under extreme pressure.
- ZAION Air Rotor: This lightweight yet incredibly strong rotor minimizes inertia for lightning-fast response and effortless retrieves.
- MAGSEALED: Daiwa's cutting-edge MAGSEALED technology utilizes magnetic oil to create a barrier against water and debris, maintaining smooth, consistent performance for years to come. This protection extends to both the body and the line roller.
- ATD Drag System: The Advanced Tournament Drag system offers smooth, consistent drag pressure, preventing sudden drag surges that can cause line breakage. Featuring an increased number of carbon washers (7 for mid-size, 9 for large-size) this reel provides unparalleled drag power and heat dissipation.
- LC-ABS Spool: This long-cast, anti-backlash spool design enhances casting distance and reduces line trouble, optimizing performance for long casts.
- High-Grip Egg Knobs (High Gear): Ergonomic knobs provide a secure, comfortable grip, ensuring you won't lose your hold during crucial moments.
Body Design
The Certate SW's Monocoque body represents a significant advancement in reel design. By eliminating the body cover and directly integrating high-precision plates, Daiwa has created a reel that is significantly more rigid, airtight, and powerful. The resulting increased space allows for a larger drive gear which enhances performance.
Sinker Design
Not applicable. This is a spinning reel, not a sinker.
Other Features
- Tough Air Bail: A lightweight, yet incredibly strong bail increases durability and reduces line tangles.
- Rotor Brake: This feature prevents the unexpected return of the bail during casting.
