AIRDRIVE DESIGN: Less Weight, Smoother Rotation

The 18 Exist was already an exceptionally light fixed spool reel - and yet Daiwa found a way to go further. To reduce weight still further, they divided the reel into two main assemblies. The rear unit - comprising the MQ (Monocoque) body and the Tough Digigear drivetrain machined from duralumin - was already very light and highly durable, leaving comparatively little room for improvement there. So Daiwa focused their development efforts on the front unit: rotor, spool, bail arm and main shaft. The result of completely redesigning these components and reducing their weight is the AIRDRIVE SYSTEM - a set of technologies that gives you a greater sense of control, cuts weight still further and delivers an even smoother, quieter retrieve.

The 4 Key Technologies of the AIRDRIVE SYSTEM

The AIRDRIVE SYSTEM consists of 4 key technologies: the AIRDRIVE Rotor, AIRDRIVE Bail, AIRDRIVE Spool and, linking the front and rear assemblies, the AIRDRIVE Shaft. Together, these four technologies deliver a lighter reel with a softer, quieter retrieve.

AIRDRIVE Rotor and AIRDRIVE Bail

The AIRDRIVE Rotor is the centrepiece of the AIRDRIVE SYSTEM. Like the Air Rotor it replaces, it is machined from ZAION, but features a more curved profile. This redesign is equally robust yet more compact and lighter, saving 16% of the rotor's weight alone. The AIRDRIVE Bail, with its ZAION bail foot, is a further development of the Air Rotor concept. The bail has been refined so that line feeds more smoothly into the line roller and line twist is further reduced. The slimmer bail arm also sheds weight - a substantial 33% compared to its predecessor. Together, these two components reduce start-up resistance and deliver a more even, smoother rotation.

AIRDRIVE Spool

The AIRDRIVE Spool has been made slightly slimmer and therefore lighter. The upper spool lip features the Long Cast ABS design, which enables up to 5% longer casts. Equally well thought through is the lower spool lip: a raised section known as the Spool Skirt significantly reduces the risk of line slipping beneath the spool and causing frustrating tangles.

AIRDRIVE Shaft

The AIRDRIVE Shaft connects the front and rear main assemblies. Here, Daiwa has further developed their Linear Shaft technology. A Low Contact structure between the shaft and pinion gear reduces friction and further improves the smoothness of the retrieve. If you've ever turned the handle on a previous Exist, it seems almost impossible that it could get any smoother - but Daiwa has managed it. The reduced yet optimised contact between shaft and gear makes itself felt especially under load, and the reel simply runs even better.

High-Quality Ball Bearings Across a Wide Range of Applications

12 ball bearings is a generous count - and when those bearings are high quality, it makes a real difference to how the reel performs. 2 MS and 10 CRBB ball bearings ensure that the exceptional components of this reel deliver exceptional performance. CRBB stands for Corrosion Resistant Ball Bearings, which means this fixed spool reel is suited to both fresh and salt water use. These bearings offer up to 12 times the corrosion resistance of conventional ball bearings.

MagSealed - Four Times Over

MagSealed technology is present in 4 locations: at the rotor, at the line roller and on both sides of the gear housing. This dramatically reduces the ingress of water, dust and salt crystals into the reel's sensitive internal components.

ATD Type-L Drag: Built for Hard Runs

A hard, fast run puts any drag system under real pressure. The faster line is pulled, the greater the risk of the drag locking up - and a broken line is the result. The ATD Type-L drag system of the 22 Exist is further refined and performs flawlessly even during abrupt, high-speed runs. That gives you a decisive edge when it comes to landing hard-fighting fish.
