The Daiwa Free Swimmer BR Spin Reel is a purpose-built Bite ‘N’ Run surf and live bait reel, designed for anglers who demand precision, strength, and control when targeting hard-fighting species. After five years of development across Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and the USA, this reel sets a new standard in saltwater live baiting performance.

The Bite ‘N’ Run system allows fish to run with minimal resistance before setting the hook, ensuring better strike-to-hook-up ratios. Whether you’re baiting whiting with unweighted rigs or live-baiting for trophy kingfish, snapper, or mackerel, the adjustable rear drag dial provides tailored tension for every scenario.

Constructed with a strong carbon composite body, Air Rotor system, and carefully sealed internals, the Free Swimmer BR is built to withstand Australia’s harsh saltwater conditions. Combined with ATD Drag, Tough Digigear, and ABS Longcast spool design, this reel offers seamless performance, longer casting distances, and durability to keep you in the fight longer.
