Daiwa 26 Certate SW Spin Reel

Built for anglers who push heavy drag, harsh saltwater and powerful fish to the limit, the Daiwa 26 Certate SW delivers uncompromising strength, control and long-term offshore reliability.

The Daiwa 26 Certate SW Spin Reel is engineered for serious saltwater anglers targeting hard-fighting offshore species under sustained load. Designed around Daiwa’s “Be Strong. No Limit.” philosophy, this reel is built to withstand extreme drag pressure, saltwater exposure, and prolonged battles with powerful fish.

At its core is a rigid Monocoque aluminium body that allows a larger, stronger drive gear to be installed, maximising torque and power transmission while maintaining compact balance. The newly introduced Powerdrive Zaion Rotor increases structural rigidity while remaining lightweight, reducing flex under load and improving cranking efficiency when pressure is highest.

Magsealed technology protects critical internal components from salt, water, and debris intrusion, ensuring smooth operation and long service life in harsh marine environments. Daiwa’s ATD drag system delivers controlled, consistent pressure with minimal start-up inertia, giving anglers confidence from hook-up to landing. Built without compromise, the 26 Certate SW is the benchmark for offshore spinning performance.
