Daiwa Crossfire SW Spin Reel

After a tough, salt-ready reel without the premium price? The Daiwa Crossfire SW delivers dependable saltwater performance for beach, rock and boat fishing. Built on a durable aluminium body with Daiwa’s Digigear drive, it offers smooth power, solid hook-sets and confident control when casting metals into surf gutters, soaking baits for tailor and salmon, or dropping baits and jigs for snapper, mackerel and reef species. Available in two purpose-built sizes—BOAT (≈8000) and SURF (≈10000)—the Crossfire SW gives Aussie anglers the strength, capacity and grip they need to fight hard-running fish in the wash.

Why anglers choose it

• Strong aluminium frame resists flex and keeps gears aligned under load
• Reliable rotation with 3+1 bearings for smooth retrieves
• Big handles and a T-knob for leverage when turning fish in current or surf
