The Daiwa 23 Matchman Fishing Reel - Exceptional in its Class
A distinguished addition to your fishing gear, this reel encapsulates the perfect blend of refined craftsmanship and advanced technology.
Beginning with the heart of this reel, it sports a DS4 carbon composite body and rotor. This exquisite construction affords both lightness and resilience, providing an unrivalled balance of durability and easy handling. The DS4 carbon composite ensures a robust reel that resists wear and tear, promoting extended longevity.
The Daiwa 23 Matchman employs Digigear 2 technology, which adds an exceptional touch to this reel. Digigear 2 assures perfect meshing between the digitally cut gear teeth, resulting in optimal power transmission. This allows for seamless reeling, enhanced gear life, and ultimately a more satisfactory angling experience.
One of the more notable features of the Daiwa 23 Matchman is the innovative Twistbuster. This unique mechanism significantly reduces line twist when retrieving, helping to avoid snags and preserve your line's integrity. Consequently, every cast is a hassle-free, smooth experience.
An intriguing feature is the reel's one-touch folding handle. Not only does this render the reel highly portable, but it also facilitates rapid assembly. Ideal for anglers who desire to start their adventure in a flash, the one-touch folding handle will undoubtedly impress.
The reel's heart boasts 3BB, ensuring your reeling action remains smooth, even under the pressure of the most formidable catches. It's paired with an aluminium spool, offering corrosion resistance while maintaining a feather-light profile. This combination makes for an unparalleled feel and control that experienced anglers will undoubtedly appreciate.
Among the exceptional features of the Daiwa 23 Matchman Fishing Reel is the Infinite Anti Reverse. This sophisticated system, disengageable via a lever on the underside, delivers a seamless back winding experience. The UTD drag complements this system perfectly, offering a wide range of adjustment for precise control over your set up and catch.
For outright feeder work, especially where power and a degree of distance is expected the 4000 is bang on. With a ratio of 5.3:1 it will crank back 95cm in one handle turn.
The UTD drag also offers responsive control, with a wide range of adjustment ensuring you can set it just right for set up and fish action you are expecting. If back winding is preferred then the Infinite Anti-Reverse is easily disengaged via the lever on the underside, behind the rotor.
All models will perfectly partner any of Daiwa's Matchman float or feeder rods and thanks to the folding handle they are also well suited to any ‘pre-set up’ for rapid assembly. Each also feature a DS4 carbon composite body and rotor as well as 3BB, Digigear 2, Twistbuster and a T grip handle knob.
