Daiwa Spinning Reel (Casting/Long Distance) 17 Crosscast 5500 (2017 Model)

Product Information Description: This entry-level model emphasizes "casting distance," which is crucial for basket and rock fishing, thanks to its 35mm stroke specification. The adoption of an air rotor improves rotational performance and retrieval efficiency during long casts. It features a cross wrap that reduces line troubles and is equipped with the durable "Digigear II," ensuring uncompromised specifications. Main Specifications: - Retrieval Length (cm/handle rotation): 82 - Gear Ratio: 4.1 - Weight (g): 635 - Maximum Drag Force (kg): 15 - Standard Line Capacity (Nylon (No.-m)): 8-250, 10-200, 12-170 - Bearings (Ball/Roller): 3/1 - Handle Length (mm): 85 - Knob Specification: Power - Accessories: Rubber Sheet/Adjustment Washer Designed for long-distance casting in saltwater, the air rotor has a revolutionary structure that significantly reduces weight while maintaining strength. The unique rim structure disperses load, enhancing rotor balance and providing responsive rotation. The retrieval efficiency during long casts is also excellent. DS4 (Body/Rotor Material): A special fiber-reinforced plastic developed with unique technology. The folding handle offers excellent portability, making it easy to carry. Digigear II: This advanced digital design technology enhances the precision of gear surfaces using ultra-high precision machine cutting, achieving several times the surface accuracy of forged gears. Special wrapping on the drive gear improves durability by optimizing the balance between the pinion gear and the drive gear. Cross Wrap: This method uses a large angle winding technique to prevent line biting and misalignment on the spool. It significantly reduces line troubles, especially when using thin lines or PE lines, while ensuring smooth casting. Twist Buster II: By tapering the line roller, this structure greatly reduces line twist caused by roller rotation, a common issue with spinning reels. Washable: Can be rinsed with running water. (Maintenance according to the instruction manual is required after cleaning.) Cast Lock Manual Return: When the bail is opened during casting, the rotor rotation is locked to prevent unexpected bail reversal. The bail returns manually for safety. Infinite Stopper: This stopper instantly halts reverse rotation using friction, providing a tight feeling without play for comfortable operation. Line Drop Prevention Mechanism: This sliding line guard prevents line from falling off the spool and getting caught between the spool and rotor. The "17 Cross Cast 5500" spinning reel is designed for those
